HEROES Shea Weber - The Predators franchise blueliner scored a pair of goals in a 3-2 win against St. Louis.

SHEA WEBER CAREER YEAR EV SHOTS/60 EV PTS/60 CORSI% REL.

That lifted his save percentage to .924 in eight games, a nice contribution from the backup, and putting him in good company among backup goaltenders this season. ZEROES Gilbert & Emelin - The Montreal defence pairing of Tom Gilbert and Alexei Emelin spent most of the night chasing Panthers in the defensive zone, with Emelin (7 shot attempts for, 20 against, 25.9%) posting the worst possession stats among Habs defencemen. Nail Yakupov - Even in a rare Oilers win, they got more of the same from their young winger. Yakupov started 75% of shifts against Los Angeles in the offensive zone, yet finished with 27.6% (8 for, 21 against) of even-strength shot attempts. Hes the rare forward to start more than two-thirds of his shifts in the offensive zone this season, yet fall below break-even on attempted shot differential. LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Brian Elliott - Returned to the St. Louis net, for his first game since November 25 after suffering a lower-body injury, and stopped 44 of 47 shots in a 3-2 loss at Nashville. Derek Roy - Made his Oilers debut, registering an assist, and playing 14:53, primarily on a line with Teddy Purcell and Nail Yakupov. Brayden McNabb - The Kings defenceman left Tuesdays 3-2 shootout loss to Edmonton after getting clipped with a high stick by Oilers rookie Leon Draisaitl. Nikita Nikitin - Returned to the Oilers lineup for his first game since December 3, yet played a modest 11:15 against Los Angeles. SHORT SHIFTS The Predators got two-point games from both LW Gabriel Bourque and RW Olli Jokinen in their 3-2 win over St. Louis. Coming into the game, Bourque and Jokinen had combined for five points this season and had the two lowest ice times in the game for Nashville. Jokinen also had the best possession stats (18 shot attempts for, 6 against, 75.0%) for the Predators. Panthers G Roberto Luongo stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss to Montreal…Oilers G Ben Scrivens turned aside 37 of 39 shots in a 3-2 shootout win against Los Angeles; it was his first win this season while recording more than 32 saves…Canucks G Ryan Miller had 31 saves on 32 shots in a 3-1 win at San Jose. FANTASY TIPS Its a busy night on the ice for the last day of 2014, so here are half a dozen players that you may want to get into your lineup: Mathieu Perreault - Leads the Jets with 12 points (7 G, 5 A) in 12 games in December, not bad considering his start to the season, which included no goals and three assists through his first 19 games. Andrei Vasilevskiy - Tampa Bays top goaltending prospect was recalled from the AHL, again, and it looks as though hell get the start against Buffalo. He stopped 94 of 100 shots in three games with the Lightning recently, when Ben Bishop was injured. Loui Eriksson - Hes still not generating shots like he did during his peak years in Dallas, but Eriksson has eight points (4 G, 4 A) in his past six games. Matt Calvert - The Blue Jackets winger has only nine points in 25 games this season, but has four points (1 G, 3 A) in the past four games and played a season-high 21:33 last game. Justin Abdelkader - On a three-game point streak, the Detroit winger has been playing and scoring more this year, thanks in large part to frequent linemates Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Colton Sceviour - Getting a chance with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin on the Stars top line, Sceviour has five points (1 G, 4 A) in his past seven games.

But they failed at the easiest part — beating the Raiders — and will miss the playoffs once again.Dreams get crushed. Nightmare, running back C.J. Spiller said.Oakland has the second longest active post-season drought at 12 but has done a good job of playing spoiler in the past five weeks, beating Kansas City, San Francisco and Buffalo after starting the season 0-10.I cant say enough good things about this team, interim coach Tony Sparano said. I love the guys in that locker room. Theyre fighters. Anytime somebody counts them out they bounce back. Its a great sign of character.The Bills came into the game vowing not to overlook the two-win Raiders. But Orton struggled after an early touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins, throwing an interception and posting five straight three-and-outs on Buffalos next six possessions to put the Bills in a hole they never could overcome.The Bills ran for just 13 yards despite Spillers return from a broken collarbone. That was their worst rushing day since gaining 4 yards against Tennessee on Nov. 23, 1997.At the end of the day, they got after us up front and they kicked our butt up front, coach Doug Marrone said. When you do that, its difficult to run, pass, do a lot of things.Instead of having a playoff berth possibly on the line neext week in New England, the Bills can start looking ahead to next season and figuring out what to do at quarterback.dddddddddddd Orton failed to get Buffalo over the hump after replacing ineffective second-year player EJ Manuel.Orton went 32 for 49 for 329 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.Carr wasnt that sharp, completing just 17 of 34 passes for 214 yards, but the rookie did what Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers couldnt: throw a touchdown pass against Buffalos stout defence.He tied the game with a scoring throw to James Jones in the second quarter and then sealed it with a 1-yarder to Jamize Olawale with 2:51 to go.You see what that defence did to the best quarterbacks in the league, Carr said. When you turn the film on and see what theyre doing you know its going to be tough. At the start it sure was tough.That came after Oakland stopped Buffalo on a third-and-1 near midfield when Ray-Ray Armstrong deflected a pass to Chris Hogan and Carr converted a third-and-22 with a 51-yard pass to Andre Holmes.Darren McFadden then ran it 25 yards down to the 1, and Carr hit Olawale two plays later to seal Buffalos fate.After Janikowski missed a 48-yard field goal attempt, Orton threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Robert Woods with 1:09 to play to cut it to 26-24. But Woodson recovered the ensuing onside kick to end it.The Raiders got a pair of field goals from Janikowski in the third quarter to take a 19-10 lead, but the Bills managed to stay within striking distance by keeping Oakland out of the end zone.Buffalo then got right back into it on the opening play of the fourth quarter when Orton connected on a 29-yard touchdown pass to Scott Chandler to make it 19-17.But that was as close as it would get.NOTES: The 13 yards rushing allowed by the Raiders were tied for their third-fewest since the merger. ... Bills DT Marcell Dareus (knee) and CB Stephon Gilmore (concussion) left the game with injuries.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
