(SportsNetwork.com) - The Calgary Flames look to snap a six-game home losing streak on Friday night as they take on a Florida Panthers club that is closing out its longest road trip of the season. The Flames have not picked up a victory at Scotiabank Saddledome in nearly a month, since besting the Washington Capitals on Oct. 26. They are 0-4-2 as the hosting club since and began a stretch of three straight at home on Wednesday with a 2-1 overtime setback to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Flames goalie Reto Berra was able to stop a shot from point-blank range during the overtime session, but Columbus David Savard found Nikita Nikitin in front of the net and Berra was unable to recover in time as the puck crossed the goal line 2:25 into the frame. Berra ended with 16 saves as Calgary fell to 1-5-2 in its last eight, while Joe Colborne tied the game 3:28 into the third period. "I felt like in the third period thats where we skated the best. We generated some good pucks at the net," Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. "The bottom line is its pretty tough to win when you only have one line going." The Panthers are trying to get things going and have split the first four tests of a five-game road trip that ends tonight. They had won three of four heading into last nights showdown with Edmonton, but lost a 4-1 decision to the Oilers. Scottie Upshall had the lone goal for the Panthers and Tim Thomas yielded three goals on 34 shots in his seventh straight start. "The key was the energy. We didnt have any. Thats the key," said Florida interim head coach Peter Horachek. "If your energy is better, if you come out with a workman attitude, I think that everything improves." Backup Scott Clemmensen could get the call tonight over the 39-year-old Thomas and has never before faced the Flames. He is 0-1-1 with a 3.09 goals against average and .877 save percentage in three games (2 starts) this season. The rookie Berra is in line for his ninth career start and is 0-2-2 with a 3.42 GAA in four outings at home. The Panthers have won two straight and three of their last four versus the Flames and are visiting Calgary for the first time since a 3-0 triumph on Oct. 14, 2010. Nike Shox Clearance .

A showdown that was in essence a de facto elimination game for the College Football Playoff saw three lead changes in the final 17 minutes, the last Cameron Artis-Paynes 6-yard run that put Auburn ahead with 10:23 left. There was very nearly a fourth. The Rebels Laquon Treadwell took a slip screen in the red zone and weaved his way toward the goal line with under two minutes to play, but was dragged down from behind by Frost and lost the ball just before crossing the plane. Cassanova McKinzy recovered the fumble for Auburn (7-1, 4-1 SEC), which later held off one last-ditch effort from the Rebels to assuredly keep its spot in the coveted top four of the College Football Playoff rankings. The defending BCS runner-up Tigers entered the colossal matchup third in the first edition of the rankings, with Ole Miss (7-2, 4-2) one place behind in fourth. Treadwell needed to be carted off the field with an apparent left ankle injury on the pivotal play, ending an otherwise sensational night for the sophomore in which he racked up 103 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 10 catches. Bo Wallace added 362 yards and two touchdowns on 28-of-40 passing for the Rebels, but also lost a costly fumble deep in Auburn territory in the fourth quarter that helped send Ole Miss to a second straight loss following a 7-0 start. Marshall completed 15-of-22 attempts for 254 yards and two touchdowns with an interception, and ran for two scores as well to trigger Auburns comeback from a 10-point third-quarter deficit. Artis-Payne had 138 rushing yards on 27 carries, with Sammie Coates accumulating 122 yards and a touchdown on five catches for the Tigers. Wallace also delivered a 3-yard touchdown run on the second play of the fourth quarter that gave Ole Miss a 31-28 edge, but Marshall and Auburn responded by marching 75 yards in nine plays to move back in front. The biggest play came on 3rd-and-9 from the Tigers 26, with Coates coming down with a jump ball down the middle of the field for a 41-yard gain to the Rebels 34. Artis-Payne followed with a 14-yard run on the next snap to get Auburn in the red zone, then crossed the goal line shortly afterward for the eventual winning score. The Rebels got down to the Auburn six on the subsequent possession, with Treadwell extending the drive with a 17-yard grab on 3rd-and-6. However, Wallace had the ball popped loose by Derrick Moncrief while fighting for yardage on a sneak, and Frost pounced on the fumble with 6:31 left to end the threat. Ole Miss began its next series near midfield with 3:22 to go and quickly moved back into scoring range, but Treadwells 19-yard catch-and-run ended in both injury and a turnover that effectively sealed the outcome. The Rebels owned a 17-14 halftime advantage and extended it by capitalizing on excellent field position early in the fourth quarter. After beginning near midfield courtesy of a 20-yard shank by Auburn punter Daniel Carlson, Evan Engram ccaught a short pass from Wallace and shook off a defender before outsprinting the defense for a 50-yard touchdown.dddddddddddd Auburns high-powered offense, held mostly in check during the first half, then unleashed back-to-back scoring drives to shift momentum. A 7-play, 73-yard sequence was highlighted by Marshalls escape of heavy pressure and 41-yard deep strike to Dhaquille Williams on 3rd-and-11. The dual-threat quarterback later finished the trek with a 2-yard plunge that brought the Tigers within three midway through the third quarter. Marshall was a perfect 5-for-5 on Auburns next possession, a clutch 11-play, 96-yard series that concluded in Marcus Davis 17-yard TD catch for a 28-24 Auburn lead. Engrams 29-yard down-the-seam grab on the following drive preceded Wallaces head-first 3-yard dive into the end zone that briefly gave Ole Miss the upper hand. Auburn was able to march down the field with ease on the games opening drive, with Marshall completing his first three throws that included an 18-yard, third-down strike to Williams that put the ball on the Ole Miss 2. Marshall faked a sweep on the following snap and ran in on a designed draw to stake the Tigers to an early 7-0 edge less than three minutes in. The Tigers then proceeded to have four of their next five possessions end in punts, with the lone exception an interception Marshall threw to ball-hawking corner Senquez Golson with Auburn situated in the red zone. Ole Miss put up a pair of touchdowns with the Tigers offense struggling, the first coming on an impressive 11-play, 92-yard jaunt capped by ITavius Mathers 4-yard run on third-and-goal with four minutes left in the opening quarter. Wallace made good on 7-of-8 passes during the lengthy series, with Vince Sanders hauling in three of them for 62 yards. A career-long 59-yard scramble by Wallace down the left sideline set up Ole Miss next score, a 10-yard catch-and-run by Treadwell on a quick screen that put the Rebels up 14-7 with 6:02 left in the second quarter. Marshall pulled Auburn even just over 4 1/2 minutes later with a well-thrown deep ball that Coates snared for a 57-yard touchdown late in the first half. A pass interference call on the Tigers negated a third-down stop during the ensuing drive, and Wallace found Cody Core for a 14-yard gain on the subsequent play to position Gary Wunderlich for a successful 48-yard field goal that sent Ole Miss into the break up 17-14.
