NEW YORK -- The Tampa Bay Lightning continue their six-game road trip on Sunday night when they visit the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.After starting the jaunt with victories against the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs, the Lightning have dropped consecutive 3-1 decisions to the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils. Although the Lightning started 5-1-0 and hold a 5-3-0 record, slow starts have been an issue all season -- the team has scored in just one first period in eight games.Weve got to find ways to start games on time, Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said to the Tampa Bay Times. You can have all the skill in the world, but if you dont stick to the game plan and structure and work at it, youre going to win a couple games because youre more skilled than the other team. But usually youre not going to win in this league. The parity is too great.Goaltender Ben Bishop is expected to get the start in net after watching backup Andrei Vasilevskiy allow three goals on 23 shots Saturday. Right winger Nikita Kucherov, who missed the game Saturday with an upper-body injury, is listed as day-to-day.Is it possible that Kucherov, who led the team with 30 goals last season, is back in time to face the Rangers?Could is the word. Can he? Im not so sure, coach Jon Cooper said to the Tampa Bay Times before Saturdays game. But I know hes feeling much better today...Its not a good situation, but lets just hope its only a couple games or maybe one game.Kucherovs offensive talents could be sorely missed against the Rangers (5-3-0), who lead the NHL in goals per game at 3.63. They remodeled the team in an attempt to add speed throughout the lineup and it has worked beautifully.The problem is whether the quick team has the makeup to score enough ugly goals when the pretty ones arent coming. That was the case in a 3-2 road loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday, when the Rangers couldnt get anything done in the dirty areas with their opponent sitting back and playing it safe with a lead.You know that teams are going to be patient back there, captain Ryan McDonagh said to the New York Daily News. Weve had a couple of games now needing a goal like that. We certainly had some chances, but you know theyre going to be sagging, theyre going to be taking away a lot of the slot area...So guys going to the net and getting a rebound is something we have to look at a little bit when we find ourselves in that situation.If the Hurricanes gave the league a blueprint for slowing the Rangers offense, it may be something the Lightning employ Sunday. After all, they are playing the second half of a back-to-back while the Rangers are at home and rested so turning the neutral-zone to mud could benefit the road-weary Lightning.Shooting pucks...thats something weve got to learn, Rangers center Derek Stepan said to the New York Daily News. When teams get up and are going to sit in that neutral-zone trap or whatever you want to call it, we have to find a way to get through it with speed and generate offense.DeSean Jackson Eagles Jersey . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team.

LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St.LONDON -- FIFA President Sepp Blatter has criticized Italian football authorities for the "unacceptable" decision to only fine Roma 50,000 euros ($64,865) after their fans racially abused AC Milan players. Play was stopped for almost two minutes during the second half of Sundays match when visiting Roma supporters would not stop abusing Milan players Mario Balotelli and Kevin-Prince Boateng, who are black. Warnings issued over the stadium speaker system went unheeded, leading to a Serie A match being suspended due to racism for the first time. "Small fines for racist abuse (are) unacceptable," Blatter wrote Tuesday on Twitter. Blatters willingness to tackle racism in football was previously questioned, and he was forced to apologize in 2011 for saying incidents between players on the field should be settled by a handshake. But Blatter has put renewed vigour into the fight against racism since Boateng led his teammates off the field when he was racially abused during a friendly against an Italian fourth-tier team in January. "What is surprising and is not understandable for me, is that the disciplinary committee of the Italian Football Federation has taken a decision, not even 24 hours after the event, by just imposing a fine," Blatter said Tuesday on FIFAs website. "They have not made any investigation of what happened. And just to give a pecuniary sanction is not valid, that is not acceptable. You will always find money. "What is 50,000 euros for such an incidennt? Im not happy and I will call the Italian federation.dddddddddddd Thats not a way to deal with such matters." The Boateng incident in January following a spate of racial-abuse cases in England prompted Blatter to establish a task force to propose stricter sanctions. In plans being presented to the FIFA Congress later this month, teams face being thrown out of competitions or even relegated if their players, officials or fans are found guilty of any form of discrimination. "In this resolution, there are foreseen sanctions -- and these sanctions must be applied all around the world," Blatter said. "Thats why we need the congress decision. That will bind together all the 209 associations." UEFA, at its congress in London next week, will ask its 53 members to adopt a series of tougher racism sanctions. UEFA wants a partial stadium closure to be imposed on clubs if there is racism in the stands -- rather than just a fine for a racist offence. If there are further incidents, UEFA is advocating clubs being forced to play matches behind closed doors. A 10-game minimum ban for players found guilty of abuse is also being proposed. The English Football Association is looking to push through its own plans for a five-game minimum ban for racist abuse at its annual general meeting this week. In England in recent years, Liverpool striker Luis Suarez received an eight-match ban for racially abusing an opponent and Chelsea captain John Terry was suspended for four matches. ' ' '
