PHILADELPHIA -- When the Calgary Flames visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night, the game will feature teams heading in opposite directions.The Flames (10-12-1) are riding the strong play of goaltender Chad Johnson and have won three of their last four games in the midst of a six-game trip.The guys are just doing a good job and Im getting results, Johnson said Friday after making 35 saves in a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins. When you get results, your game gets some attention. When you lose, people always find things to look at.But Ive felt great all year. Thats my game. Simple. In position. Try to make it look easy and not scramble too much there and give the team confidence and make the saves Im supposed to.Johnson is 5-1 with a 1.17 goals against average in his last six games and is 7-3-1 on the season.I just think hes been fantastic, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said. Hes making the first save, which you need, and hes giving us great goaltending there, and then our guys are limiting those second chances, and its a good combination right now.The Flyers (9-10-3) have lost three of four and have played a loose defensive game in front of goaltender Steve Mason, who saw his record drop to 5-8-3 and his save percentage dwindle to .892 in Fridays 3-2 loss to the New York Rangers.Masons save percentage is third-worst among NHL goalies with 12 or more starts.You know, we made a couple costly mistakes where guys were left alone out front and we have to clean those up because it cost us the game, Mason said after stopping 20 of 23 shots Friday. Its definitely something we need to focus on a little bit.The Flyers had 78 shots (to 39 for the Rangers) in their loss on Friday but are looking for more offense from captain Claude Giroux, who was 16-for-24 in faceoffs on Friday but has gone eight games without a goal.Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau grew up right outside of Philadelphia in southern New Jersey, but will miss the Flames only trip to Philadelphia because of a broken finger.Former Flyer Kris Versteeg, day-to-day with a groin injury, might also miss the game.The Flames are 7-0-1 when leading after two periods.The Flyers have had 40 or more shots in a game five times this season and are 3-2 in those games, with two wins coming in a shootout and one in overtime.Flames forward Mark Jankowski was called up from Stockton of the American Hockey League on Friday but has not yet made his NHL debut.Flyers rookie forward Travis Konecny scored points with his teammates when he fought Rangers forward Brandon Pirri after teammate Brandon Manning was checked hard into the boards.Yeah, we talked about team toughness and making sure were sticking up for each other, Konecny said of his first NHL fight. When a guy gets hit like that, I was the one in position to do something about it and I did what I had to.Manning did not finish Fridays game and is questionable for Sunday nights game.Odell Beckham Jr Browns Jersey . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. Ozzie Newsome Womens Jersey . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. http://www.footballbrownsnflprostore.com/Youth-Joe-Thomas-Elite-Jersey/ .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem. Austin Seibert Youth Jersey . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196. Lee held the overnight lead but mixed three birdies with two bogeys for a 70. Odell Beckham Jr Youth Jersey . A knee to the thigh might have stung him the most, but his sixth straight double-double made up for the brief burst of pain.MINNEAPOLIS -- From Aaron Rodgers to Eli Manning, Cam Newton to Marcus Mariota, Mike Zimmer has devised game plans that have made some of the leagues best and most dynamic quarterbacks look like lifelong backups.Next up for the Minnesota Vikings defensive mastermind: Andrew Luck .The Indianapolis Colts (6-7) come to Minnesota on Sunday on the outside of the playoff chase, and Luck knows that hell be facing one of his most difficult tests of the season.Coach Zimmer is obviously an incredible defensive mind, Luck said. You have to be able to run and throw the football, have to protect the football, have to be able to stay ahead of the chains. You dont want to get caught in third-and-long. When you get down in the red zone, you better score some points.Luck comes in ranked fifth in the league in yards per game, having topped 300 yards four times this season. Hes also an underrated running threat with 304 yards rushing, good for second on the team behind starting running back Frank Gore.Hes a tough guy. I really admire guys like him, Zimmer said. He gets hit, and he doesnt complain to the official or anything like that. He just goes about his business, and like I say, hes a tremendous, tremendous quarterback.The Vikings (7-6) are one of just three teams in the league that has yet to allow a 300-yard passer this season. The defense ranks second overall, third against the pass and first in points allowed, serving as the backbone of the Vikings desperate push for the postseason.With an offense that has struggled to put up points this season behind a patchwork offensive line, and a special teams unit that had to change kickers midseason because of Blair Walshs shaky right leg, the defense has been left to carry the load. And thats just the way Zimmer likes it.Here are some key angles about the game:ADRIAN LOOMS: Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson has missed the last 11 games have having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He returned to practice this week and said he is taking things day by day. Initially, he targeted the game at Green Bay on Dec. 24 to come back. But Peterson also said he likely wouldnt risk playing again this year if the Vikings were eliminated from playoff contention. A home losss to the Colts would push them pretty close to that edge.ddddddddddddHARRISON SMITH UPDATE: Vikings standout safety Harrison Smith missed last weeks game against Jacksonville with a severely sprained ankle. Zimmer expressed optimism this week that Smith could defy the odds and return sooner rather than later. Smith missed practice the first two days of the week, leaving his status in doubt for the game. The Vikings certainly could use one of their biggest playmakers back to help them against the Colts, Packers and Bears.PLAYOFF WATCH: Nine AFC teams already have more wins than the Colts, and four of those hold head-to-head tiebreakers over Indianapolis. Add the Colts 4-6 record against conference foes and that its worse than any of the teams in front of them. Its obvious just how precarious their situation is: Win, and they can keep playoff hope alive, lose and they could easily be eliminated.PAGANO WATCH: Chuck Pagano got his first win as a head coach over the Vikings on Sept. 16, 2012. Since then, the Colts have gone to the playoffs three times, won two division titles and reached the AFC championship game in 2015. They also missed the playoffs last year and if they miss them this year, it would be the first time Indy has failed to make the postseason in back-to-back years since 1997 and 1998. Critics already are calling for Paganos ouster, and a second straight loss to a playoff contender would only increase the calls for the coaching change.MILESTONE WATCH: Gore has been passing Hall of Famers all season on the NFLs career rushing list. This week, he needs 77 yards from scrimmage to pass Tony Dorsett (16,293) for No. 10 on the leagues career list. WR T.Y. Hilton needs five receptions to post a career high (82 in 2013 and 2014) and 143 yards to surpass his previous career best (1,345 in 2014). Lucks next 300-yard game will move him into a tie with the late John Unitas (26) for No. 3 on the franchises career list, and K Adam Vinatieris next victory will give him 200 regular-season wins in his career.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
