SUNRISE, Fla. -- Its not last season anymore.Thats obvious, of course, but what it means in a hockey context is that the San Jose Sharks (7-6-0) and the Florida Panthers (6-6-1) are battling to regain their form.Both teams will be trying to rekindle that magic from last season on Thursday when the Sharks visit the Panthers. San Jose made the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in its history last season and Florida set the franchise record with 47 victories.Recent events show signs of improvement.The Sharks snapped a three-game losing streak by winning on the road and dominating one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, beating the Washington Capitals 3-0 on Tuesday.That win was big for us just to kind of right the ship for us a little bit, said Sharks goalie Martin Jones, who made 24 saves. Everything kind of went our way.For the Panthers, starting goalie Roberto Luongo broke a personal four-game losing streak by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Monday.Even better for Florida is the fact that it is starting to get healthier.Forward Jussi Jokinen, who has missed the past nine games due to a knee injury, is set to return on Thursday against the Sharks.Hes ready to play, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant confirmed.Florida center Nick Bjugstad, who has yet to play this season due to a broken hand, is set to return next week.The Panthers also made a trade on Wednesday, acquiring former New York Rangers defenseman Dylan McIlrath, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound bruiser.Florida dealt the Rangers a conditional seventh-round draft pick and 28-year-old defenseman Steven Kampfer, who has been a healthy scratch in 12 of 13 games this season. The Rangers sent Kampfer to their AHL affiliate, so he is a non-factor, for now at least.McIlrath, 24, could actually help the Panthers. He was a first-round pick, No. 10 overall, in 2010, but has been unable to crack New Yorks lineup of top-seven defenseman.Part of the problem for McIlrath is that he doesnt play the speed and puck-moving game the Rangers prefer. But with the Panthers, his toughness could be an asset if they indeed use him.Interestingly, the Sharks played the power game all the way to their first Western Conference title last season. But then in the offseason, general manager Doug Wilson added speed by acquiring David Schlemko and Mikkel Boedker as free-agent signings.Neither player has made much of an impact so far, combining for a total of just five points.The Sharks were outstanding on the road last season with a 28-10-3 record. They are off to a 3-4-0 start in 2016-17, including that big win over Washington on Tuesday.The Panthers will have a couple of advantages on Thursday that have nothing to do with personnel -- they are home and did not have to travel. They also have one more days rest in between games than San Jose.Panthers backup goalie James Reimer played for San Jose last season, but is not expected to start on Thursday.San Jose was fourth in the NHL in average goals per game last season, and the Sharks power play is one of the most dynamic units in the NHL. That top unit includes forwards Joe Pavelski, Joe Thornton, Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau along with defenseman Brent Burns at the point.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton coach Greg McDermott knew the No. 10 Bluejays got away with one after they lost a 13-point second-half lead, didnt score in the final 3:28 and still managed to beat Oral Roberts 66-65 on Saturday night.We scored on six of our last 29 possessions and won, McDermott said. `Im disappointed we werent able to throw the knockout punch like weve done so often this year. Also pleased that we found a way with our backs against the wall. Its not like we scored nine possessions in a row to win the game. We had to get some stops. To their credit they were able to do that.The Bluejays (11-0) led by as many as 13 early in the second half, but saw the Golden Eagles (2-10) claw back to take a five-point lead with 6:08 left Creighton held Oral Roberts the rest of the way, taking the lead on Marcus Fosters short jumper in the lane with 3:28 left.The Bluejays used a zone press to trigger a 9-0 early second half run that made it 54-41. Then Creighton went cold, hitting just two of its next 14 shots while Oral Roberts scored steadily, taking the lead at 60-58 on Albert Owens short jumper with 8:45 left. Oral Roberts went up 65-60 on Owens banked-in 3-pointer.When he hit that three, we just kind of felt they were taking a lead than we wanted them to have, said Foster, who led Creighton with 22 points. So we just kind of refocused in the huddle and stepped up and played the best defense we played all night.The Golden Eagles didnt score again while Creighton managed just three field goals, a layup and a dunk from Justin Patton and Fosters short jumper. Neither team scored again as Creighton missed the front end of two 1-and-1 free-throw opportunities in the final minute.Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton attributed the game-closing scoring drought to missed opportunities.To beat a team like Creighton on the road, you have to step up and make plays down the stretch, youve got to make winning plays, he said. The last 5-6 minutes, offensively, we had some really good looks. Youve just got to make them if youre going to beat a team ranked in the top 10 on the road.Creighton, which shot 58 percent and had 21 ffast break points in the first half, hit just 37 percent of its shots in the second half and didnt have a fast break point.dddddddddddd The high-scoring Bluejays, who have averaged 91.6 points per game, scored just 21 points in the first halfFoster had 10 points in the first three minutes as Creighton raced out to a 12-5 lead and went up by 10 on Maurice Watson Jr.s layup with 14:27 left in the half. But Oral Roberts stayed within striking distance with strong inside play and trailed by seven at half.Watson, like his coach, acknowledged that Saturdays game wasnt a strong outing, giving the Bluejays a grade of C- or C for the game.Youre not going be perfect, Watson said. You want to see things out of your players during adversity. We got challenged tonight and, regardless of the grade, we stepped up and we passed this test. Weve got to forget it. We cant let it linger and turn into another game like this.A LONG BUS RIDEOral Roberts flew into Kansas City Friday and took a bus to Omaha, at the peak of a winter storm that coated Interstate 29 with ice.Yesterday was a nine-hour bus trip from Kansas City to Omaha, which should have taken us 2 hours, 45 minutes, Sutton said. We werent able to practice yesterday. Our guys, they showed me something today.BIG PICTUREOral Roberts: Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton was born in Omaha, the son of former Creighton coach Eddie Sutton, who led the Bluejays from 1969 to 1974 in his first Division I coaching post. The Sutton family was recognized by Creighton before Saturdays game with a jersey presentation to Scott and his brother and assistant coach Sean Sutton.Creighton: With Saturdays victory, the Bluejays have won 97 straight home games against teams that enter the contest with a record of .500 or worse, a streak that dates to 2002. The Bluejays who led 45-38 at halftime have now won 67 straight games when scoring 42 or more in the first half.UP NEXTOral Roberts: Hosts Little Rock on Monday night.Creighton: At Arizona State on Tuesday night.
