EDMONTON -- Walk into the Edmonton Eskimos dressing room, and odds are the first voice one will hear is that of receiver Adarius Bowman. The six-foot-three, 223-pound slotback, who missed the first nine games with a knee injury, has been an infectious jolt of energy in the room and on the field since he returned to the Eskimo roster three games ago. Watch the Toronto Argonauts vs. Edmonton Eskimos live tonight on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 9pm et/6pm pt. The game can also be heard exclusively on TSN.ca/Toronto. Two of those games were wins, making the 28-year-old out of Oklahoma State the only Eskimo starter with a winning record this year. As the 3-9 Eskimos put their modest two-game win streak on the line Saturday evening against the 8-4 Toronto Argonauts -- who are on a three-game winning run, all on the road -- Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly says Bowmans return has been huge. "Not just physically in what challenges he presents to defences on the field, which is his size and speed and ability," Reilly said Friday, "but his mental side of the game, the energy that he brings. "You can probably hear him right now in the room; the guy brings a ton of energy. He brings that into the huddle and its not fake, its genuine. When you get to know Adarius you know its not just for show, its not just for people to hear him, its truly how he feels about the game and that passion kind of bleeds over to everybody else. "So what he brings to our offence I dont think you can really measure it." In the three games since his return Bowman has caught 16 passes, including two clutch second-down receptions, for 199 yards and two touchdowns. Fred Stamps, the leading receiver in the CFL this season, smiles when asks what Bowmans return has meant. "Oh man, Adarius coming back was a big addition to our offence," he said. "He can do so many things and once he has the ball in his hands, hes awesome running with the ball. Hes a high energy guy, makes our offence so much better. All our receivers are doing well, but since AD came back it just gives our offence that little bit more energy that we need." For his part Bowman, who has 65 yards after his catches, downplays his impact but admits that while sitting out was frustrating, it also gave him a chance to get a new look at the game. "I wouldnt say the fact of me sitting out was an advantage, but I learned some advantages from a lot of visual work on the field, got to do a lot of seeing rather than physical work so my mental aspect of the game got a lot better," he said after Fridays walk-through. "So I feel theres a small advantage there." Plus, hes fresh, his body is healthy and the knee is not presenting any issues. "No worries about anything," he said. "The biggest thing is waiting on the next game." That game is the rematch with the Argos, who beat Edmonton 36-33 in Toronto in a mid-August game that had nearly 1,300 yards total offence. The Argos can wrap up a playoff berth with a win while the Eskimos could pull into a tie with Montreal for a potential cross-over playoff spot. Bowman didnt play in that game and Edmonton coach Kavis Reed is hoping he can swing the outcome with his injection of energy, enthusiasm and confidence. "The way he presents himself on and off the field is absolutely one of confidence, one that says were going to overcome," said Reed. "So hes very important from a physical perspective, but the intangible perspective is immeasurable. When he came back to practice you could see the difference in the team knowing that Adarius, a big play maker, would soon be available to us."

Hirving Lozano Jersey .A. remained bitter for Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers on the long flight back home to New York. Guillermo Ochoa Jersey .J. - Henrik Lundqvist has done more than set a couple of franchise records for the New York Rangers this week. NEW YORK -- If Martin St. Louis wasnt a fan favourite during his first two months with the New York Rangers, he certainly became one during a very emotional weekend. St. Louis came to New York in March in a deal in which popular team captain Ryan Callahan was shipped to Tampa Bay. When he didnt light up the scoreboard right away, the Madison Square Garden crowd was slow to warm to him. That all changed Sunday night. Three days after the sudden death of his mother, St. Louis scored 3:34 in, and the Rangers avoided elimination for the second straight game by beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series is Tuesday in Pittsburgh. New York advanced in the first round with a Game 7 win over Philadelphia. St. Louis rejoined his teammates for Game 5 in Pittsburgh on Friday, after a quick trip to Montreal to be with his family. That dedication inspired his teammates during a 5-1 win and carried over to Sunday. "Its probably one of the cooler things Ive been a part of in my professional career," said Derek Stepan, who earned the first assist on St. Louis goal. "The emotion on that goal is something that I will never forget." Fans were already chanting "Mar-ty, Mar-ty" on his first shift. The cheers got louder after he scored. St. Louis, the first star of the game, patted his heart when he came out to an ovation from the crowd. "Mothers Day, my dad is here, my sister is here," St. Louis said. "Its been a tough time for my whole family. To be able to get the lead in the first period, it was a good one." But not the prettiest of goals. St. Louis got in good position in front of the net. Stepan swiped at the puck in traffic and knocked it off St. Louis right leg and into the net. "I got a pretty good bounce," St. Louis said. "I know (my mother) helped me through this. Its a great win by the guys." Carl Hagelin pushed the Rangers lead to 2-0 just 2:51 later, and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 36 shots to keep Pittsburgh at bay. Derick Brassard made it 3-1 in the second period. Brandon Sutter scored the lone goal for the Penguins, who got 26 saves from Marc-Andre Fleury. The Penguins, who led the series 3-1, failed in their first attempt to advance to the Eastern Conference finals with a 5-1 home loss on Friday. Now the pressure has shifted to them, and frustration is showing. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby took a penalty at the end of the second period that gave the Rangers a power play to start the third. Several scrums also broke out -- including one after the final buzzer. "With a minute left in the game, emotions run high," Crosby said. "I dont think thats why we lost. We put ourselves in a bad position eearly.dddddddddddd We fought hard and tried to get back, but you cant continue to do that in the playoffs. You cant start like that." The team that has scored first has won every game. Under coach Dan Bylsma, the Penguins are 1-7 at home when having a chance to clinch a series. Overall, the Penguins are 2-6 in Game 7s in Pittsburgh. On the flip side, the Rangers are 9-2 in their past 11 games when facing elimination, dating to Game 6 of the first round in 2012 at Ottawa. New York has never won a series it trailed 3-1 and has never beaten the Penguins in the playoffs. Buoyed by another early lead, the Rangers pressed for more, and got it on Hagelins unassisted goal at 6:25. Hagelins initial shot attempt from the left-wing boards was blocked by defenceman Rob Scuderi. Hagelin got to the loose puck in the centre of the left circle and sent a hard backhand sailing past Fleury for his fourth of the post-season. Bylsma burned his lone timeout to try to calm his team that was being outshot 7-2. Pittsburgh reversed that trend and cut its deficit in half before the end of the first. The Penguins started to gain momentum after they killed a roughing penalty against Jussi Jokinen and then received their first power play after Chris Kreider knocked down Jokinen at the edge of the crease with 8:40 left in the period. New York had built its shots edge to 12-3, but then helped the Penguins make the score 2-1. Sutter flung the puck toward the net, and it appeared to hit Rangers defenceman John Moore and then bounce in off the foot of defenceman Kevin Klein near the left post with 3:04 left. Lundqvist was clearly agitated by the late goal by Pittsburgh, which led 15-14 in shots in the first period. The teams both had chances in the middle period, and neither could connect on a pair of power plays. Pittsburgh twice challenged Lundqvist with short-handed breakaways, and the Rangers had a goal waved off at 5:55 when Kreider was called for goalie interference after he was shoved from behind into Fleury by Kris Letang. The Rangers made it 3-1 with 4:30 remaining in the period -- 25 seconds after Mats Zuccarello finished serving a tripping penalty. Brassard lunged, knocked the puck out of the air, and scored his third goal in two games and fourth in the series. Benoit Pouliot earned an assist, giving the line of Pouliot, Brassard, and Zuccarello 12 goals and 15 assists in 10 games -- regular season and playoffs -- against Pittsburgh. NOTES: The Penguins dropped to 9-3 at the Garden in the playoffs and 15-15 overall in Game 6s. ... Lundqvist made his 79th consecutive playoff start, tying Fleury for third place on the NHL list among goalies with one team. ... The Rangers were 0 for 6 on the power play. Pittsburgh was 0 for 4.
