SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Florida Panthers have to wipe away the disappointment, and they have to do so quickly.The Washington Capitals, who had the best record in the NHL last season and are off to a 2-0-1 start, will visit the Panthers (2-1-0) on Thursday night at the BB&T Center. And this is no time for Florida to be thinking about the past.True, Tuesday nights 4-3 shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning was tough for Florida to swallow. The Panthers were so close to a third straight win before allowing Steven Stamkos game-tying goal on a sharp-angled shot with just 5.5 seconds left.Then in the shootout backup goalie James Reimer, who was making his Panthers debut, stopped four of the first five shots he faced before getting beaten by rookie Brayden Point. It was the first shootout attempt of Points NHL career.Youd like to make those saves at the end, Reimer told the media after Tuesdays game, but sometimes its not possible.Panthers starting goalie Roberto Luongo, who has allowed just two goals in his two games this year, is expected to return to the starting lineup on Thursday.He will be opposed by Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, who won 48 games and the Vezina Trophy last season.Luongo will have to contend with Capitals star left winger Alex Ovechkin, who scored 50 goals last season. It was the third straight year he reached that milestone, and he has done it seven times overall in his career.The Capitals, who beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 on Tuesday, got off to a slow start on their power play this season, enduring a 0-for-8 drought. But they got two power-play goals on Tuesday, including one by Ovechkin, so that issue has seemingly been corrected heading into Thursdays game.Ovechkin, who had 19 power-play goals last season, is certainly feeling confident about his teams play with the man advantage.We have so much skill with the five guys who play there, and we use it, Ovechkin told the media after Washingtons 2-of-5 power-play performance. You cant stop it.Washingtons Barry Trotz, who won the Jack Adams Award last season for the NHLs top coach, also had a quote that bordered on cockiness.I thought we could have scored every power play we got tonight, Trotz said. We were sharp, and we got rewarded.That Capitals brashness tends to disappear in the playoffs. Washington has never made it past the second round, including last seasons loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.But in the regular season, its hard to find much fault with the Capitals, who brought back almost their entire team from last year. This is a veteran team. Just about the only new addition is third-line center Lars Eller.The Panthers, meanwhile, had a different offseason philosophy. Even though they won the Atlantic Division and set franchise records for victories (47) and points (103), the Panthers were aggressive in the offseason, changing their uniforms, promoting Tom Rowe to general manager and re-signing many of their core players.Florida also brought in nine new players, and so far they have meshed well.The Panthers dont have anybody of Ovechkins caliber -- very few teams do -- but Finland native Aleksander Barkov, who also holds Russian citizenship, might be the player who emerges as Floridas singular star.Barkov, who signed a six-year, $35 million contract extension in January, is still only 21 years old. But the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder has improved in each of his three NHL seasons, from eight goals as a rookie, 16 in his second year and then 28 last season.This season, Barkov has two goals and one assist in three games, and he is a plus-four.Ovechkin, a native of Russia who has one goal and one assist this season, is 31 -- a decade older than Barkov.Besides the fact that the Panthers and Capitals are reigning division champs -- and besides the fact that Luongo vs. Holtby is an excellent goalie matchup -- there is also the subtext of Ovechkin, the proven superstar, against young gunslinger Barkov.

The notable comebackSalman Butt made his return to first-class cricket, leading Water and Power Development Authority against Lahore Blues. Butt had last made an appearance in Pakistans domestic circuit in a match for National Bank of Pakistan in October, 2009, against Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited, in Faisalabad. Butt returned after a near seven-year absence, five of which were spent serving out a ban for his involvement in spot-fixing in the 2010 Lords Test against England.Butt was allowed to return once the punishment ended, but was barred from playing first-class cricket, with the PCB wanting to regulate his return closely, and put him through a rehabilitation programme before his reintegration into the cricket community. Butt was allowed to play in limited-overs tournaments, however, where he had impact. But playing in a first-class season was set as a prerequisite before he could be considered for national selection.Butt marked his return with 31 in the first innings. He spent 80 minutes at the crease, before right-arm pacer Waqas Ahmed dislodged his stumps. Butt didnt come out to bat in the second innings, though. With WAPDA set a target of 28, Butt held himself back and promoted Adnan Raees, who, along with Rafatullah Mohmand, won them the match with all 10 wickets intact.The best bowling performanceTabish Khan, a Karachi-born fast bowler, who made his first-class debut in 2003 has since always been in reckoning for national selection, but has remained overshadowed. In his opening match of the season, Tabish, playing for Karachi Whites, ripped through Pakistan International Airlines twice, in the process registering his fourth match haul of 10 wickets or more. Playing in his 99th first-class match, Tabish, 31, took 11 for 76, which took his career wickets tally 427 at an average of 24.78. One of the defining features of Tabishs bowling has been his delivery angle and sharp pace, which has made his talent stand out ssince the early years of his domestic career.dddddddddddd Tabish first came into the limelight when he took 77 wickets at 23.62 in the 2009-10 season, before further asserting himself in 2011-12 when his 77 wickets came at an average of 19.96. But, despite those performances, he never rose above the Pakistan A side.The most disappointing performanceNasir Jamshed, a promising left-hand batsman who has played two Tests, 48 ODIs and 18 T20 internationals for Pakistan, last turned out in national colours in an ODI against UAE in 2015. He is best remembered for his twin hundreds against India when Pakistan visited for a limited-overs series in 2012-13. But he hasnt looked assertive since, and has largely been lost in the wilderness. Pakistan have always had a vacant opening slot, which makes the ongoing first-class season all the more relevant for top-order batsmen. Jamshed, however, made a dismal start, notching up 7 and 36 for National Bank of Pakistan against Lahore Whites in Faisalabad.The fightback The PCB recently approved a series of day-night first-class games, allowing all first-class teams to get exposure to the pink ball under lights. Experimentation with the pink ball got off to an extraordinary start in this tournament, as Karachi Blues scored 702 runs in the second innings against United Bank Limited at National Stadium in Karachi.Moreover this happened after the first innings of the match was dominated by the bowlers. Karachi Blues, after being dismissed for 111 in first innings, returned in the second innings to bat for almost three days and draw. Khurrum Manzoor smacked a double-hundred, with Khalid Latif scoring 148, but United Bank took away with three points from the match on the basis of a first-innings lead with Sialkot-born left-arm spinner Yasim Murtaza snapping up 8 for 231.
