aleta intercepted a bad clearing attempt in the Florida

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Told he had again moved up a notch in the record books with his latest shutout in Buffalo, Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo had just one question:When do we come back?Luongo made 30 saves for his 68th career shutout -- and third-straight in Buffalo -- to lead the Panthers past the Sabres 2-0 on Friday night.The shutout moved him past Roy Worters for 13th all-time after he passed Patrick Roy with a win on Oct. 17 in Buffalo.I enjoy playing in this building and Im having success, Luongo said. Maybe sometimes you get in another teams head or whatnot, but I just try to do my job and take the wins.Brad Boyes and Nick Bjugstad scored for Florida, which won for the first time in three games.No. 1 overall draft pick Aaron Ekblad picked up his 21st assist to tie Ed Jovanovskis franchise scoring record for rookie defencemen.Michal Neuvirth made 31 saves for Buffalo, which has lost three in a row.The Panthers came out of the gate fast, outshooting Buffalo 19-7 in the first period and coaxing Luongo into joking that I was tweeting during an inactive first 20 minutes.The first period was great, Panthers head coach Gerrard Gallant said. If we can play like that every period, wed be real happy.Florida started the scoring at the 3:29 mark when Sabres defenceman Tyson Strachan missed the puck on a clearing attempt and the Panthers worked the puck to Boyes, who scored alone in front of the net.The former Sabre has points in five straight games against Buffalo, and has a 6-2 record against his old team since joining Florida.Whether we win by playing well or we win by being outplayed, were at a point now where we need points — and we won, Boyes said.With Mike Weber in the box for an interference penalty, Bjugstad made it 2-0 with a power-play goal at 11:51 when he tapped home Jimmy Hayes rebound.The opening period didnt sit well with Sabres head coach Ted Nolan.Our first period was God-awful, Nolan said. We tried a little bit in the second and got better as the game went, but not enough.Buffalo started to come around in the second period, putting 11 shots on goal.Luongo made a left pad save on Tyler Ennis shot midway through the second to keep Floridas two-goal lead.Patrick Kaleta intercepted a bad clearing attempt in the Florida slot moments later, only for Luongo to push the puck out of play.Luongo keeps us in it, Bjugstad said. They are usually really close, low-scoring games (with Buffalo). Luongo played great tonight and its a big shutout for him.Buffalos best chances of an otherwise stagnant third period came with about 6 minutes to play as Luongo used his blocker to stop Zemgus Girgensons backhand shot.Mikhail Grigorenko redirected two point shots at Luongo, but the Panthers netminder turned aside both.Nolan pulled Neuvirth with just under three minutes to play, and Luongo was quickly tested by Girgensons and Chris Stewart.Luongo also has shut out the Sabres in four of his last five starts, all wins. He hasnt allowed a goal in Buffalo since Feb. 11, 2006.Thats unbelievable, Gallant said. Hes played well, hes focused. And he gets prepared for every game the same way.Webers penalty was the only infraction called in the game until Dave Bolland was called for tripping with 38 seconds to play.NOTES: With Rasmus Ristolainen back in the lineup, Sabres D Mark Pysyk was sent back to Rochester of the AHL. ...

Theyll do so against a winless Oakland Raiders club that is off to its worst start in 52 years. The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks dropped a two-point decision to the St. Louis Rams on Oct. 19, seven days after losing for just the second time in their last 19 at home with a setback to Dallas. Faced with the possibility of losing three in a row for the first time since Oct. 23-Nov. 6 -- and for the first time with quarterback Russell Wilson under center -- Seattle responded with a 13-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers. While it wasnt an emphatic end to their two-game skid, the Seahawks saw Wilson lead a late scoring drive. Carolina went up by three points on a field goal with 4:37 to play, but Wilson came back to lead a 9-play, 80-yard scoring drive, capped with his touchdown pass to tight end Luke Willson with 47 seconds to play. As an offense, I felt like we kept knocking and knocking. Thats kind of our attitude out there, Wilson said. Wilson shook off a rough start to finish 20-for-32 passing with 199 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Marshawn Lynch ran for 62 yards and Doug Baldwin had six catches for 61 yards. At 4-3, Seattle is tied with San Francisco for second place in the NFC West, with both teams trailing 6-1 Arizona. The playoffs are already a fading dream for 0-7 Oakland, which has lost 13 straight games dating back to last season. Their winless stretch through seven games to begin the season is the worst for the franchise since 1962, when it lost its first 13 games before winning its season finale. Oakland visited the Cleveland Browns last Sunday and lost a 23-13 game despite a career-high 328 passing yards by rookie quarterback David Carr. He completed 34 of his whooping 54 pass attempts as the Raiders fell to 2-17 on the road since 2012. We came up short again out here. I thought the players effort was really hard out there on the field today, said Tony Sparano, who is 0-3 since taking over as interim coach. We played with a lot of energy, a lot of passion and a lot of enthusiasm. We didnt play smart football, any time you come on the road and you turn the ball over three times. Carr had thrown for less than 200 yards in three of six games entering Sunday, but hooked up with tight end Mychal Rivera seven times for 83 yards while also completing a touchdown pass to wide receiver Andre Holmes. I thought Derek battled hard, he fought hard, even towards the end. He had a couple of drops and some other things that he is going to look back at, noted Sparano. The Raiders lead the all-time series with the Seahawks 28-23, but are 10-14 in Seattle. The teams have split their past seven meetings, with the Raiders winning 33-3 at home in the most recent encounter on Oct. 31, 2010. WHAT TO WATCH FOR The Seahawks ruled seven players out of Sundays matchup with the Panthers, but head coach Pete Carroll noted a few guys may be set to return. Pro Bowl center Max Unger, cornerback Byron Maxwell, defensive tackle Jordan Hill and returner Bryan Walters are candidates to come back from injury, though linebacker Bobby Wagner (toe) and tight end Zachh Miller (ankle) are already ruled out.dddddddddddd Unger would be a big boost as he has missed the last three games with a foot injury, while Maxwell has been sidelined for back-to-back contests due to a calf aliment. We have some guys on the verge (of coming back), said Carroll. Unger could help get Seattles traditional ground game back on track. The Seahawks rank second in the NFL with 148.4 yards per game on the ground, but Lynch has not posted a 100-yard rushing game since Week 1 and his 62 yards versus Carolina was his highest total in three weeks. The Pro Bowl back hasnt scored on the ground in four straight games. Wilson, though, has been able to make some plays with his feet this season to at least help move the ball on the ground. Oakland, meanwhile, has gotten little out of its run game, managing an NFL-worst 69.6 yards per game. That probably wont change this weekend as Seattle is ranked sixth against the run (89.6 yards allowed per game) and fifth in total defense (316.1). Oakland did manage to hold Cleveland to a mere 39 rushing yards a weekend ago and an average of 1.6 yards per carry. That marked the sixth time since 2012 that the Raiders allowed less than two years per carry. With the Raiders unable to move the ball, Carr has had to attempt 249 passes. He has completed 61 percent of those for 1,517 yards. Last week he had the first ever 300-yard passing game by a Raider rookie and he is 31 yards shy of setting the Raider rookie record for passing yards in a season. That is currently held by Matt McGloin, who posted 1,547 yards last year. With nine touchdown passes on the season, Carr is three shy of matching Andy Daltons NFL-rookie record of 12 TD passes through the first eight games of the 2012 campaign. Oakland is tied for second in the NFL with eight sacks allowed, but that doesnt mean Carr hasnt been pressured a lot on the year. In fact, Cleveland got to him three times as the club was forced to go pass-heavy. Hes got a great release, probably one of the best releases that Ive been involved with, so he gets the ball out and doesnt take a lot of sacks like that. Thats all part of it, its a big part of it, Sparano said of Carr. Hell be tested again as the Seahawks bounced back from getting zero sacks against the Rams to bringing down Carolinas mobile quarterback Cam Newton three times. Linebacker Bruce Irvin had two of the sacks and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane had the other. This was a better day of pressuring the quarterback across the board. We moved him early. (Newtons) numbers werent the kind that he sometimes puts up. I felt that the four-man stuff was good, the pressure stuff worked out well and it gave us a better rhythm in the game, said Carroll. OVERALL ANALYSIS A stop in Cleveland was obviously the best chance for Oakland to get its first win of the season on this quick two-game road trip. Seattle has already been stunned and surprised once at home this season and Carroll will have his team ready to avoid another let down. Seattle should be able to get its ground game going this weekend and Lynch is in line to break out in a big way. Oakland will come to town with low expectations, but it seems a longshot it will leave with a victory.
