SUNRISE, Fla. -- Right winger Jaromir Jagr, who at 44 is the grand old man of Florida Panthers hockey, has a groin injury and is questionable to play Monday night against the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning.He had a little bit of cramp in his groin, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant told the media on Sunday. I dont think its anything too serious. But he is sore. Hes day to day.Another issue for the Panthers is goalie Roberto Luongo, who has lost four games in a row. He has allowed 12 goals in those four losses.The Panthers say they are not concerned about Luongos play. But you have to wonder if the 37-year-old is starting to lose a bit off his proverbial fastball in his 18th NHL season.Florida, which won the Atlantic Division last season, is off to a poor start with a 5-6-1 record. They are last in the Atlantic, already 10 points behind the first-place Montreal Canadiens.The Lightning (7-4-1) have 15 points and are in second place in the Atlantic, six points behind Montreal.Tampa Bay has played the Panthers just once this season, defeating Florida 4-3 in a shootout.The Lightning are coming off a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Still, Tampa Bay is worried about its consistently slow starts.In 12 games, the Lightning has led just twice after one period. They have trailed six times and played to a scoreless draw on four occasions.The Lightning tends to turn the puck over far too often in opening periods, and that keeps them from getting out on that attack.Thats what happened in Saturdays first period as Tampa Bay trailed New Jersey 1-0 after the opening 20 minutes.Its an issue, Lightning coach Jon Cooper told the media. Theres no question.Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop (5-3-0) has been solid -- he had 37 saves against the Devils. But his goals-against average (3.01) is high for him. His GAA was 2.06 last season.Perhaps Luongo is not the only goalie with something to prove on Monday.Offensively, Tampa Bay has a deep and dangerous group of forwards, led by Steven Stamkos, who signed an eight-year contract extension in the offseason that will pay him $8.5 million per season on average.Stamkos has seven goals and seven assists this season, and his 14 points are second on the team behind Nikita Kucherov (four goals, 11 assists, 15 points).Defenseman Victor Hedman, who also signed a big-money extension in the offseason -- eight years, $7.9 million per season, is the teams third-leading scorer. He has three goals and seven assists.For Florida, its top three scorers are all surprises: forwards Jon Marchessault (six goals, six assists), Vincent Trocheck (six goals, two assists) and Colton Sceviour (five goals, three assists).Marchessault and Sceviour werent even with the team last season, both signing low-money, two-year free-agent contracts on July 1.Some of the teams bigger names are injured and out long term (forwards Jonathan Huberdeau, Jussi Jokinen and Nick Bjugstad), out with a nagging injury (Jagr, possibly) or slumping (star center Aleksander Barkov has two goals and three assists).Luongo (3-5-0) hasnt been as sharp as normal, but his GAA isnt terrible at 2.53.What ails Luongo and the team overall is nothing that couldnt be greatly helped with a win on Monday night.In other news regarding the game:The Panthers waived defenseman Steven Kampfer and recalled defenseman Jakub Kindl, 29, from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds.Kampfer had been a healthy scratch for 11 of the Panthers 12 games this season.Kindl, a native of the Czech Republic, was the Detroit Red Wings first-round pick, No. 19 overall, in 2005. Last season, he had two assists in 19 games for the Panthers and two goals and four assists in 25 games for Detroit.The Lightning recalled forward Cory Conacher from AHL Syracuse. With forward Jonathan Drouin listed as day to day with an injury, Conachers presence provides insurance for Tampa Bay. Ed Oliver Jersey Large .

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title.

Wholesale Custom Bills Shirts . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. Billy Joe Saunders insists he will not price himself out of fighting world middleweight No. 1 Gennady Golovkin.Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs) has not fought since he won the WBO world middleweight title from Irishman Andy Lee via points in December.But promoter Frank Warren is lining up a first defence for Saunders against either Russian Artur Akavov (16-1, 7 KOs) or American Rob Brant (21-0, 14 KOs) on the undercard of Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko II at the Manchester Arena on October 29.Akavov and Brant are ranked 11th and 7th by the WBO respectively and as long as Saunders is successful and unification fight with Golovkin is being planned for February 2017.At the start of the year, Golovkins team made Saunders an offer -- believed to be ￡2.2million -- to face the Kazakh knockout machine in a world title unification clash.But Saunders, 27 turned it down because he wanted more to fight Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs), the WBA-WBC-IBF world middleweight champion.Im ready to fight him [Golovkin] where ever, in England, in America or in a field, said Saunders, who has been kept out of action by a hand injury. Theres nothing that can get in the way of stopping this. Im not pricing myself out, I will fight any man born.Im fighting on October 29. Give me a week and I will fight him then. As long as I can shake my ring rust off in this next one I will fight him then.Golovkin, 34, stopped Saunders fellow Briton Kell Brook in five rounds in London last Saturday to stretch run of consecutive knockouts to 23.ddddddddddddBut Saunders insists he was encouraged by what he saw of Golovkin, who is regarded as the most feared boxer in the world.Everyone is raving about him but I took a lot of confidence from what I saw at the weekends, Saunders said.Im a fully fledged middleweight and not a blown up welterweight. Kell was up on the scorecards and showed a lot of heart and will. His corner were right to pull him out. Kell did well and established himself and all my credit goes to him.Golovkin did what he had should have but I see stuff that I can certainly capitalise on. People are beat before they get in the ring with him. But it is definitely not like that with me. Hes had it rough but so have I. Ive been dragged up.Hes a good puncher, a good puncher and has a good chin. But hes a man and hes definitely beatable.Warren has already began talks with Golovkins promoter Tom Loeffler, but the California-based Kazakh is first being lined up to face American Daniel Jacobs in November.Theres will on both side to make that fight happen and I would prefer it in Britain, said Warren. The money that was offered last time was not enough. We felt he should get more money. Now Golovkin has fought in the UK, think those numbers are achievable. ' ' '
