MONCTON, N.B. -- It was an impressive CFL debut for rookie Brett Lauther. The native of Truro, N.S., booted four field goals -- including two in the decisive fourth quarter -- as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats defeated the Montreal Alouettes 28-26 on Saturday. Hamilton had placed Lauther on its practice roster after selecting the former Saint Marys Huskies kicker in the seventh round of the 2013 CFL draft. But he was promoted to the active roster to replace incumbent Luca Congi, who was benched after missing two field goals in last weekends 26-22 loss to Calgary. Lauther made good on his opportunity, making all four of his attempts. "I dont care about the stats," he said. "We got the win, thats all I really care about. "It was extra special that family and friends were in the crowd." Hamilton coach Kent Austin was definitely impressed with the rookie kicker but not surprised. "He has a past of making big kicks," Austin aid. "Thats kind of his M.O." Hamilton rallied for the victory by outscoring Montreal 15-7 in the fourth. Dan LeFevours one-yard TD run anchored the rally, which also included Lauthers field goals and a safety. The Ticats (6-6) erased a 19-13 third-quarter deficit en route to moving four points ahead of third-place Montreal (4-8) in the East Division standings. Hamilton improved to 2-0 at Moncton Stadium after downing Calgary 56-36 in 2011. LeFevours TD put the Ticats ahead 22-19 and was set up by Louie Richardsons recovery of Tyron Carriers fumble on a punt return. Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris appeared in his second Touchdown Atlantic game. Burris finished 15-of-27 for 176 yards and an interception as the Ticats earned their fifth win in seven games. "I think weve been improving and really thats all we really focus on. " Austin said. "They play with great effort and have a ton of fight in them." Montreal made it interesting as Josh Neiswander found Duron Carter on a 27-yard TD strike - Neiswanders second of the game - with under a minute remaining. But Hamilton recovered the onside kickoff to cement the victory. Neiswander was 26-of-36 passing for 294 yards with no interceptions. Prior to Saturdays game, the Alouettes placed rookie Tanner Marsh (thumb) on the nine-game injured list, joining veteran Anthony Calvillo (concussion) to solidify Neiswanders status as Montreals clear-cut starter. Jim Popp, Montreals GM and interim head coach, said Neiswander played well. "Hes got a real sense of running our offence," Popp said. "We did things to simplify our offence. "I thought this was one of our better games at sustaining drives." Despite the loss, Popp found some positive in the game. "The final score wasnt good but there was a lot of good in the game," he said. "Maybe the first game this year that we didnt turn the ball over on offence." Troy Smith and S.J. Green scored Montreals touchdowns. Sean Whyte added a convert and two field goals. Montreal opened the third impressively, with Smith, a former Heisman Trophy winner at Ohio State, scoring on a one-yard TD run to put the Alouettes ahead 16-13 as the convert was blocked. After Lauther opened the scoring in the first, Montreal took a 7-3 lead when Neiswander found Green on a 33-yard TD strike to cap a nine-play, 80-yard drive with the wind. Lauthers 40-yard field goal on the final play of the second quarter staked Hamilton to a 13-10 halftime lead. The Ticats opened the frame with the wind advantage and used a little razzle-dazzle to take a 10-7 advantage. Hamilton lined up for the field goal but after taking the snap, new holder Andy Fantuz flipped the ball to Beswick, who rumbled 10 yards for the TD. Usually on converts, punter Josh Bartel holds for the Ticats. Popp said he saw the play coming but the Alouettes still couldnt stop it. "We were yelling and screaming,"he said. "When theyre that far down there and its only five yards to get a first down, they may take a chance." Austin said the Ticats have been practising the fake for some time but were waiting for the perfect time to use it. "It wasnt a sure thing, we had to execute it," he said. "We wanted it to be close, we didnt want to do it on a 43 or a 47-yarder." Montreals defence held Hamilton to 288 total yards but the Ticats won the special-teams battle. Alouettes linebacker Chip Cox, the CFLs leading tackler, had seven tackles and an interception.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. Nike Flyknit Racer Kopen . PETERSBURG, Fla.UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Not only did the Los Angeles Kings stun the New York Islanders with three third-period goals in a comeback win, they did it with a bunch of fill-ins. Undeterred by a two-goal deficit in the final frame, the Kings stormed back to beat the Islanders 3-2 on Thursday night in most unpredictable fashion. Tyler Toffoli, playing in just his fifth NHL game this season, tipped Jake Muzzins drive past surprised goalie Kevin Poulin with 1:27 left. Tanner Pearson had tied it 2-2 with 7:45 remaining with a power-play goal in his first NHL regular-season game. Slava Voynov, who assisted on Pearsons goal, started the turnaround for the Kings at 5:34 of the third. Pearson, who made his NHL debut in last seasons playoffs, had to wait out a video review to see if his goal would hold up. He squeezed a shot past Poulin, and the puck barely trickled over the line. "I was praying it would cross the line, and it did," he said. "Im glad they didnt call it off. A special moment for sure." Due to injuries to forwards Jeff Carter and Kyle Clifford, Toffoli and Linden Vey -- who assisted on the final two goals -- were recalled from the minors earlier this month. Toffoli has at least one point in all five games he has played. "This shows the depth of our character," veteran defenceman Drew Doughty said. "Were missing guys and we found a way even when we were behind the 8-ball. Our special teams made the difference." Pearson was brought up to the Kings on Wednesday. His power-play goal helped make a winner of backup Ben Scrivens, who stopped 23 shots in place of regular Jonathan Quick. Quick strained a groin during overtime of the Kings shootout loss at Buffalo on Tuesday. It is unknown when he will rejoin the lineup. "Impossible to replace Quickie," Scrivens said. "I thought we played a very solid road game and did well on special teams. It was a solid team win all around." Aaron Ness gave the Islanders a 2-0 lead in the second period with his first NHL goal after Casey Cizikas put New York in front with his first of the season. The Islanders appeared in line for their second straight home win after an 0-4 trip, but instead sustained their most disheartening loss of the season. "That was a big physical team," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said of the Kings. "I thought we played decently and well enough to win. "Youre always frustrated when two points slip away. The big thing is how we respond..ddddddddddddWe have to find a way." Poulin stopped 21 shots while making his third straight start and fourth in five games ahead of Evgeni Nabokov. Poulin allowed only one goal in a loss at Carolina on Nov. 7 and one in a victory over Nashville on Tuesday. In between, he was beaten 4-2 at Montreal on Saturday. He was done in by the rough third period. Los Angeles scored the tying goal after Colin McDonald was sent off for a check to the head of Trevor Lewis. "They made a push, and their special teams and defence came through," Capuano said. "Thats what good teams do and thats what good special teams do." Cizikas had given the Islanders a 1-0 lead at 2:44 of the second when he got to a loose puck in front. Cizikas gathered it and flung a backhander that beat Scrivens, who had dived to try to smother the puck before Cizikas could fling it into the vacated net. It took only 2:14 more for Ness to double New Yorks lead with his first NHL goal. Ness, in his fifth game of the season and 14th in his NHL career, was the beneficiary of a crisp, cross-zone pass from Islanders captain John Tavares, who moved the puck from the right circle into the slot for a one-timed shot that beat Scrivens. Voynov fired an in-close shot off a pass from Anze Kopitar that pinballed past Poulin to cut the Kings deficit to 2-1. The game had many sloppy moments on both sides, with players losing control of the puck off their sticks and stumbling on what appeared to be uneven ice. More surprisingly, the game had several chippy plays between clubs that havent met since February 2012. Twice in the second period, the Kings were whistled for goalie interference after collisions with Poulin. Kopitar barrelled into Poulin late in the second period, and was pulled out of the net by his jersey by rugged Islanders forward Matt Martin. The physical play started early with Los Angeles Jordan Nolan fighting Islanders defenceman Matt Carkner just 1:47 in. Cizikas was called for roughing in the first period, and teammate Cal Clutterbuck was sent off for charging in the second. NOTES: Islanders LW Thomas Vanek missed his third straight game because of an upper-body injury. ... It was also the first NHL point for Ness, who was recalled from Bridgeport (AHL) on Nov. 7. He played nine games with the Islanders in the 2011-12 season. ... The Islanders were 0 for 4 on the power play. ... Kopitar has 3 goals, 4 assists in six games.
