You can catch all the action regionally on TSN Jets beginning at 6:30pm et/5:30pm ct. The game can be heard live on TSN Radio 1290 and TSN.ca/Winnipeg. The Jets have just three wins in 13 road contests this year, sporting a 3-6-4 record. Winnipeg handed Carolina a 5-3 defeat on Oct. 22 thanks to a goal and an assist from Kyle Wellwood. Alexander Burmistrov, Evander Kane, Andrew Ladd and Jim Slater each had a goal in a winning cause. Tonights contest is the second of six matchups between the teams this year. The Jets had won three in a row following a five-game losing streak, but fell back into the loss column with Wednesdays 4-3 overtime setback at Washington in the opener of a three-game road trip. Jason Chimera scored the game-winning goal 1:52 into overtime, beating Ondrej Pavelec, who stopped 33 shots in his career-best 13th straight start. "I thought we played a pretty decent game," said Jets coach Claude Noel. "I think the character of our team has shown that they want to win the game and they battle to win the game." Ladd and Wellwood both had a goal and an assist, while Bryan Little scored in a losing effort. Pavelec is 6-4-3 during a 13-game stretch as Winnipegs starting goalie. Backup netminder Chris Mason will get the start tonight for the Jets. Carolina is in the midst of playing two straight and five of six games as the host, and is coming off Wednesdays 4-3 shootout loss to Montreal. Brandon Sutter and Jiri Tlusty each had a goal and an assist for the Hurricanes, who had their modest two-game winning streak snapped. Anthony Stewart also scored in defeat. "We have parts of our game that we just have to try to improve," said Carolina head coach Paul Maurice.

In yet another loss, he had a record-breaking night. Matt Ryan threw four touchdown passes, playing his best early and late, to help the Atlanta Falcons lead from start to finish in a 31-18 victory over Detroit on Saturday night. WASHINGTON -- On the verge of a major stumble, Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals proved resilient. After Fridays 11-inning demoralizing defeat, the Nationals promptly lost the opener of Saturdays doubleheader and the prized rookie to an injured ankle. Without Harper in the starting lineup for the nightcap, Washington fell behind by two runs in the first inning. But the 19-year-old returned to single and score as a pinch-hitter, Roger Bernadina had a tiebreaking hit in the seventh inning and Washington earned a split of the day-night doubleheader with a 5-2 victory over Atlanta on Saturday night. The Braves won the first game 4-0 behind Ben Sheets strong performance. Instead of another loss and barely maintaining its division lead, John Lannan helped Washington snap a three-game losing streak and move ahead of Atlanta in the NL East by 2 1/2 games. "I think most of the guys in this locker room felt like it was a must win tonight," said closer Tyler Clippard, who pitched the ninth inning for his 16th save. "If they took three from us right away, it would have been a pretty big blow. To get this win tonight, John stepped up in a huge way for us, pitched great and our offence came through when we needed, too. It was a huge win." In between games, Nationals manager Davey Johnson said the MRI on Harper showed no break though he kept his centerfielder out of the starting lineup for Game 2. Harper entered in the eighth and singled, stole second and scored on Danny Espinosas single to right. The first-time All-Star stayed in as the right fielder in the ninth. "It feels all right," Harper said. "Once I get going, thats when it feels good. When I sit down, thats when it feels bad." Bernadina, who entered as a defensive replacement after Harper fouled a bunt off his left ankle in the first inning of the first game, finished 5 of 7 on the day including a go-ahead RBI single in the night game. Lannan (1-0) pitched seven innings for the win. Cristhian Martinez (4-2) allowed three runs -- two earned -- in 1 2-3 innings of relief behind starter Randall Delgado. In the opener, Sheets (2-0) pitched six shutout innings, Brian McCann and Chipper Jones homered. Outdueling Nationals starter Edwin Jackson (5-6), Sheets extended his scoreless innings streak to 12 in his return after missing last season because of Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Harper gave signs that he would play in the second game when he stepped into the on-deck circle in the seventh. After Sandy Leons leadoff single and with the scored tied at two, Johnson instead turneed to pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa, whose sacrifice bunt advanced Leon to second.dddddddddddd One out later, Bernadinas grounder into right field scored Leon. Harpers failed bunt attempt came in the bottom of the days first inning. Limping and doubled over in pain for several moments, he completed the at-bat by striking out. Harper returned to centre field in the second inning, but Bernadina replaced him on defence for the top of the third with the Nationals trailing 1-0. "(Bryce) was down hitting, trying to swing with it, and Michael Morse and (Adam))LaRoche saw him and said he cant even swing. So, thats why I took him out," Johnson said. The kid thought he could tough it out. "I didnt think I broke something," Harper said. "Pain doesnt really get to me much. I think if he would have left me in there I could have played, definitely." Riding the momentum of the earlier win -- their third straight -- the Braves jumped ahead 2-0 in the first. Jones stroked a two-out, RBI double into the right-centre gap of Lannan and Freddie Freeman followed with an RBI hit. Jones hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run in the first game. Recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, Lannan settled down and held the Braves scoreless over the next six innings, not allowing a hit over his final four innings. Despite a 4.89 ERA in the minors, the Nationals leader with 10 wins last season allowed only five hits, walked two, struck out three and hit two batters before the sellout crowd of 40,007. Including Fridays loss, the Nationals failed to score for 15 innings before scratching across a run in the fifth and six innings against Delgado. Trailing 2-0, Espinosa raced home from third with two outs in the fifth on a wild pitch. Washington loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth on two singles and a hit batter. Ian Desmonds RBI groundout tied it at 2. Also brought up from the minors to pitch game two, Delgado allowed two runs and six hits over six innings. In his second start of the season and with light rain falling intermittently, Sheets threw 91 pitches, allowing five hits with six strikeouts and three walks. Jackson struck out nine to match his season high while allowing five hits and two walks over seven innings. His one mistake was McCanns solo homer in the second inning, the 16th of the season for the Braves catcher and his seventh in 10 games. NOTES: With three RBIs, Jones has 1,601 for his career. ...
