PHILADELPHIA -- With his teams 10-game win streak in the rearview mirror following Saturdays 3-1 loss to the Stars in Dallas, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall is anxious to see how his team responds on Monday night when the Nashville Predators come to town.I think weve got a lot of work to do, Hextall told the South Jersey Courier-Post. Im really interested to see (Monday) because typically when you come off of one of these (streaks) you really want to respond the right way. Every games important, but this is an important game, not necessarily win or loss, but in terms of how we play, the effort, the focus thats there. Human nature is that were a little disappointed and we come back and maybe theres a letdown.The Flyers 10-game win streak was the third-longest in franchise history, but thanks to strong runs by the Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals, the Flyers (19-11-3) hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings.We knew we werent going to win out the rest of the year, said goaltender Steve Mason, whose career-best, eight-game win streak was snapped on Saturday. Different guys stepped up at key opportunities. Its something I think, if the going gets tough later on, not just individually, but as a team, something we can draw upon. This team has the capabilities to warrant a stretch like this and well start a new one on Monday.Former Flyers coach Peter Laviolette and the Predators will have something to say about that. Considered one of the top teams in the Western Conference before the start of the season, the Preds (13-12-5) are three points out of a playoff spot.After going 9-3-2 in November, Nashville is 2-4-2 in December and is just 3-9-2 on the road this season with a minus-20 goal differential.We have to find ways to win and get rolling and move up in the standings, said Predators center Mike Fisher, who scored Nashvilles lone goal in a 2-1 home shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday. We know we can be better. We have to be better. We have to get back to the way we were playing a few weeks ago and start getting some wins.Were a confident group. We have the guys in here to do it. Were going to pick it up and just keep improving and getting better.The Predators are the only team in the NHL without a win in overtime or by shootout (0-5) and are 0-for-7 in shootout attempts this season. Since 3-on-3 overtimes were introduced last season the Predators are 2-12 in games ended in OT.Weve got to be better, Laviolette said.Overtime and shootouts just havent been our friend for whatever reason, Fisher said. Its frustrating.The Predators are hoping defenseman P.K. Subban, who sat out Saturdays loss with an upper body injury, returns against the Flyers. He was scheduled to join the Predators on their two-game road trip, which continues Tuesday night in New Jersey.Look for goaltender Pekka Rinne, who was rested on Saturday, to get the call against Philadelphia and Mason to start in goal for the Flyers.Flyers backup goalie Michal Neuvirth, sidelined since Nov, 12 with a knee injury, is skating again but is not likely to return to action until after Christmas.Center Sean Couturier (knee) and defenseman Mark Streit (shoulder) are also skating but are doubtful for Monday.Philadelphia ranks third in the NHL on the power play (23.3 percent) but has gone three straight games without a power-play goal. The Preds ranks 19th on the penalty kill (80.4 percent).Nashville allowed three or more goals in nine straight games before yielding just one in regulation on Saturday. Fisher has four goals in the last three games and nine for the year.The Flyers also rank fourth in the NHL with 3.12 goals per game. Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic .

BERLIN -- Schalke finally got off the mark in the Bundesliga on Sunday with three goals in six minutes as it thrashed visiting Borussia Moenchengladbach 4-0.Schalke lost its first five league games under new coach Markus Weinzierl, but had shown some promise with wins in the German Cup and Europa League.`Gladbach, which lost 2-1 midweek at home to Barcelona in the Champions League, missed the chance to go second on goal difference from Hertha Berlin, which is three points behind leader Bayern Munich.The game sparked to life after the interval when Andre Hahn saw his effort pushed onto the post by Schalke `keeper Ralph Faehrmann.From then on it was all Schalke.Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting fell in a challenge from Ibrahima Traore to earn a debatable penalty, dusted himself off and duly converted from the spot to open the scoring in the 52nd.Sead Kolasinac crossed for club-record signing Breel Embolo to score his first Bundesliga goal four minutes later and Leon Goretzka scored two minutes after that, converting the rebound after Yann Sommer saved Choupo-Motings initial effort.Embolo, a $25 million summer signing from Swiss side Basel, wrapped up the rout with his second goal seven minutes from time.Its a huge weight off our shoulders, Weinzierl said.Schalkes poor start was baffling with much expected of the side after its summer overhaul.Christian Heidel, highly regarded for his work at former side Mainz, had taken over as sporting director and Weinzierl was employed as coach. Weinzierl highlighted his coaching capabilities in four successful seasons at modest Augsburg.Together they oversaw a raft of arrrivals: Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka from Sevilla, Algeria midfielder Nabil Bentaleb from Tottenham, French midfielder Benjamin Stambouli from Paris Saint-Germain, Naldo from Wolfsburg, Coke from Sevilla, Abdul Rahman Baba from Chelsea, and Embolo, who finally confirmed his arrival in the league against `Gladbach.ddddddddddddHow the club reacted to the situation is outstanding, Heidel said.---WOLFSBURG 0, MAINZ 0Wolfsburgs lackluster start to the season continued earlier Sunday.The Volkswagen-backed club remains in 13th place with just six points from six games and was whistled by its own supporters after its fifth straight game without a win.Germany striker Mario Gomez again failed to score in his fifth full game for the side since his summer switch from Fiorentina.Wolfsburg made the stronger start, controlling possession, winning the lions share of challenges and forcing Mainz to defend in numbers. Julian Draxler had the ball in the net early on but he was clearly offside.Jakub Blaszczykowski and Draxler had chances before the break, Gomez went close again after it, before Levin Oztunali set up Yunus Malli to shoot just wide at the other end.Mainz defender Giulio Donati rescued his side after Draxler rounded the goalkeeper and shot toward the unguarded net. Donati slid in to clear in front of the line -- as close as Dieter Heckings side was to get.We werent rewarded for our efforts, Hecking said. We have to make sure that the ball finds its way into the goal again. ' ' '
