wo-strike count to drive in two runs and give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. He walked with the bases loaded in the fifth. NOTES: Myers

What do you need to know about last nights big stories? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Stamkos sidelined: Losing Steven Stamkos for any length of time is a terrifying thought for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The teams captain appeared to have injured his right leg during the first period of a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings?on Tuesday night. Lightning coach Jon Cooper did not give reporters an update after the game but said the veteran forward would be re-evaluated on Wednesday. Tampa has been forced to play without Stamkos in the past, but the timing of this injury is particularly bad: Coming off signing an eight-year, $68 million extension in the summer, No. 91 has been playing well, with nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points in 17 games. Three years ago Stamkos broke his right tibia when he crashed into the net against the Boston Bruins, in November 2013. The Lightning also did not have his services when he had surgery to remove a blood clot in March, forcing him to miss the final month of the season and all but one game of the playoffs. If hes out for an extended length of time this time around, it will be detrimental to the Lightning.Tortorella getting results: Watch out for the Columbus Blue Jackets -- coach John Tortorella has his team focused and productive. After Cam Atkinson scored 37 seconds into overtime in a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals?on Tuesday, the Blue Jackets are now 6-1-1 in their past eight and 8-4-2 overall. Tortorella coached a winless Team USA during the World Cup, and some believed his methods and messages were tuned out by the players. So, it was going to be interesting to see how the Blue Jackets began the season. They are a good team -- and are receiving solid goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky -- and if this success continues, the Blue Jackets could surprise. Tortorella described the win over the powerful Capitals as an identity win for Columbus and its culture. Lets see how long it lasts.Price needs to pace himself: An individual streak is impressive, and it usually equals wins. That was the case for Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. However, a chance at history ended when the Florida Panthers Aaron Ekblad scored in overtime for a 4-3 win over the Canadiens on Tuesday. Price started the season with 10 straight wins and, with Tuesdays loss, missed a chance at tying George Hainsworths 89-year-old record of 11 consecutive wins. Still, the Canadiens are 13-2-2 to lead the Atlantic Division with 28 points, and Price is the main reason. Individual statistics dont win championships, but Montreal cant win big without him. With the two in harmony, it can lead to great things. Coach Michel Therrien needs to make sure that Price, 29, doesnt get overworked, especially considering his workload during the World Cup. Hes played 11 NHL games already, and with veteran Al Montoya as backup, a good number for Price this season is around 55 games.Cheap Air Max Authentic .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo.

NEW YORK -- Vernon Wells glanced at the scoreboard and noted that the fastball hed seen well clocked in at 96 mph. Big slump or not, Wells felt good about his pinch-hit at-bat with the Yankees trailing Tampa Bay in the seventh inning Saturday. So with a confident swing, he smashed a three-run, go-ahead double that carried New York to a 7-5 win over the Rays. Wells was in a 9-for-87 slide that landed him on the bench the past two days, with rookie outfielder Zoilo Almonte starting in his place. But with the Yankees down 5-4, Wells batted for No. 9 hitter Chris Stewart with the bases loaded and two outs. "Through his struggles, I think his at-bats against lefties were still pretty good," manager Joe Girardi said. "We just liked the matchup. Verns been doing it for a long time in big spots." Wells drive to right-centre bounced above the top of the wall, where it hit a fans glove and was ruled fan interference. The umpires allowed all three runners to cross home plate, determining David Adams would have scored from first base if not for the fan interference. They sent Wells back to second, but the Yankees suddenly had a 7-5 lead. Rays manager Joe Maddon argued that it should have been called a ground-rule double, with only two runs scoring. "It was good to hit a ball and it not land in somebodys glove," Wells said. "And it came at a great time." Tampa Bay led 5-3 after top prospect Wil Myers hit a grand slam for his first career home run in the sixth. Wells first extra-base hit since May 31 got CC Sabathia (8-5) off the hook after he allowed five runs in seven innings. "Its frustrating," Sabathia said. "Im happy these guys came back and were able to overcome that." Mariano Rivera worked a scoreless ninth for his 26th save. Meanwhile, Almonte kept up his hot hitting, starting in Wells place in left field. On Friday night, he went 3 for 4 with a home run. He was 1 for 2 with two walks and three RBIs on Saturday. "Its not easy at all, but Im trying my best," Almonte said through a translator. "I feel like Im seeing the ball really well and I just hope it continues." David Robertson came on after the Yankees took the lead and pitched a perfect eighth with two strikeouts. Joel Peralta (1-4) took over for the Rays in the seventh and immediately got in trouble. He loaded the bases with one out on two walks and Lyle Overbays double, and was pulled for lefty Jake McGee. McGee struck out Jayson Nix for the second out but walked Adams to force in a run, the second time the Yannkees scored on a bases-loaded walk.dddddddddddd Adams had never drawn a walk in 86 career plate appearances before Saturday; he had two in the game. Wells then batted for Stewart, who was 0 for 3 with a double play to end a second-inning threat. As bad as his numbers looked, Wells insisted he had felt OK at the plate. The time off gave him the chance to work on his swing in the batting cage. "I never lose confidence," he said. "As soon as you lose confidence, youre done." The Rays trailed 3-1 when the Yankees intentionally walked Evan Longoria with two outs to get to Myers. The rookie came in hitting .190 in five games since he was called up from the minors at the beginning of the week. Hed had exactly one hit in four straight games before going 3 for 4 on Saturday in his first start as a designated hitter. Longoria was 2 for 2 with a double and a solo homer that accounted for the Rays lone run when the Yankees intentionally walked him. On a 1-2 count, Myers hit a high fly to centre. Brett Gardner jumped at the fence and the ball bounced off the webbing of his glove and into the stands, though it appeared to already be over the wall when he touched it. "It was just awesome to be down two strikes and the crowd cheering and to be able to put a swing like that on it," Myers said. "Just a cool experience." Rays rookie starter Alex Colome is yet to allow an earned run over 10 innings in two career starts. He gave up three unearned runs, five hits and five walks with three strikeouts in 4 1-3 innings. The Rays handed out a season-worst nine walks. "Walks really kicked our butt today," Maddon said. With two outs in the third, Almonte singled on a two-strike count to drive in two runs and give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. He walked with the bases loaded in the fifth. NOTES: Myers became the first visiting player to hit a grand slam at Yankee Stadium for his first career home run since Detroits Ricky Peters in 1980. Myers is the second player in club history with a grand slam for that first homer. Jorge Velandia did it in 2007, also against the Yankees. ...
