PHILADELPHIA -- Jaromir Jagr scored two power-play goals and had three points, and Claude Giroux and Danny Briere each had three assists as the Philadelphia Flyers outlasted the New York Rangers, 5-3, on Monday night. Jagr, a former Ranger making his first home appearance as a Flyer, made a grand entrance in front of the faithful, and now has three pre-season goals. The game had a regular-season feel, as both of the teams star goaltenders, Philadelphias Ilya Bryzgalov and New Yorks Henrik Lundqvist, were in net, and the two rivals combined for 77 minutes in penalties. Brian Boyle had a goal and an assist for the Rangers (1-1-1), who watched Jagr leave New York for the KHL in 2008 only to sign with the Flyers this summer. Jagr, 39, showed no rust as he took a regular shift, and was still out there with two minutes left in the game, looking for the hat trick. Braydon Coburn scored the winner at 6:35 of the third period for the Flyers (4-0-0), and Wayne Simmonds added his first as a Flyer with an empty netter at 19:32. Bryzgalov made 17 saves, while Lundqvist made 26. www.texansfootballofficialshop.com/Authentic-Andre-Johnson-Jersey-Br-25.html . -- The New England Patriots have placed wide receiver Donte Stallworth on injured reserve with an ankle injury. www.texansfootballofficialshop.com/Authentic-Joe-Mays-Jersey-Nb-12.html .

The final on Sunday will be the first for Champions League winner Chelsea and Copa Libertadores champ Corinthians, which edged Egypts Al-Ahly 1-0 in the other semifinal on Wednesday.OTTAWA -- A first-round series already full of emotion will have more fuel added to the fire on Tuesday night. Senators defenceman Eric Gryba, who was suspended two games for a hit on Canadiens centre Lars Eller in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarter-final, will be back in the Ottawa lineup against Montreal for Game 4. Senators coach Paul MacLean confirmed after the morning skate at Scotiabank Place that Gryba would suit up with Ottawa leading the series 2-1. "I expect Eric to come out and play his game and do what he can for our team," MacLean said. "But like I said (Monday), it will be interesting." Gryba caught Eller with his head down at the Montreal blue-line just as he received a pass in Game 1, sending the Habs forward flying. Eller, who was sent to hospital with a concussion, broken nose and some lost teeth, remains out of the Canadiens lineup. Montreal coach Michel Therrien and a number of his players were incensed after the hit and Ottawas reaction, sparking a war of words that included Habs forward Brandon Prust calling MacLean "a bug-eyed, fat walrus." Gryba says he cant control how the Canadiens react to his return. "Im keeping my head above (it) and trying to stay as calm and collected as possible," he said. "Its obviously high stakes and high emotions but I cant let that affect my game in a negative way." Gryba watched the last two games of the series from the press box after being handed the ban by NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan, including Sundays fight-filled 6-1 Ottawa victory that saw the teams combine for 236 minutes in penalties. "It was tough watching that. Those are thee games you want to be involved in," Gryba said of the contest that included a line brawl and the first NHL hat trick for rookie Senators centre Jean-Gabriel Pageau.dddddddddddd"I think that was the best hockey game Ive ever watched in my life." Despite the verbal barbs being tossed back and forth between players and coaches on both sides, Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges says his team has to keep its cool if its going to even the series. "Playoffs isnt a time for individual payback or retribution," he said. "The best way to get back and to make Lars feel good is to go out and win hockey games. Its too important a time of year to do anything stupid." Added Therrien: "Our main focus is to be sure we play a good solid game. That has to be our main focus and its going to be our main focus." Gorges says the Canadiens will have to match the Senators intensity, especially early on. "We have to understand that Ottawa is going to push. Thats a team that works hard. They work extremely hard. We cant get frustrated by anything that they do," he said. "We have to continually stick to what makes us good and no lose our gameplan, not lose our systems, not lose our focus -- just continue to fight no matter what the circumstance is, keep playing." Notes: Montreals P.K. Subban was one of three nominees announced Tuesday for the Norris Trophy as the leagues top defenceman. ... Other than the addition of Gryba, MacLean didnt expect any other lineup changes for the Senators. ... Therrien says forwards Brian Gionta and Ryan White will both miss Game 4 for the Canadiens with upper-body injuries. ' ' '
