SUNRISE, Fla. -- Nick Bjugstad snapped out of his scoring slump and spoiled Drew MacIntyres first NHL start. Bjugstad had two goals and an assist to lift the Florida Panthers to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. Brad Boyes and Brandon Pirri also scored for the Panthers. Roberto Luongo, who returned after missing Tuesdays game with an upper-body injury, made 27 saves. Bjugstads goals -- his first two after 21 games -- came less than three minutes apart in the third for his first two-goal and three-point game of his career. "It was a good night," Bjugstad said. "We had to get pucks to the net. First game for that goalie and we wanted to get shots on him. It worked out for us." Paul Ranger and Tyler Bozak scored for the Maple Leafs, and MacIntyre stopped 33 shots. The 30-year-old was making just his second appearance for Toronto this season. "Its been a long, long time but it was awesome. I have few regrets," MacIntyre said. "I was hoping it would be a win, thats how I envisioned it." MacIntyre was drafted by Detroit in the 2001 NHL Draft, which took place in the Panthers arena. "I looked up right at the end of the anthem and saw the Draft 2001 flag and I smiled at myself and said, Its been a fun ride. ... I found it so funny that this rink is my first game." The Panthers won for just the third time in 12 games. The Maple Leafs, who were in playoff contention most of the season, have lost six straight road games in regulation and are 2-11-0 in their last 13 games. The Maple Leafs were eliminated from post-season contention on Tuesday after a 3-0 loss at Tampa Bay. "Very challenging time right now for our group mentally," Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said. "I thought wed have a little bit more compassion for the goaltender that was going in the net for his first NHL start. ... Its very disappointing." At times, the Leafs certainly played like a team that was going through the motions. "Its the first one since were officially out, so its tough. Thats no excuse, weve got to have more pride than that," Bozak said. Leading 2-1,the Panthers stretched their lead on a wraparound goal by Bjugstad, who came from behind the net and stuffed it past MacIntyre at 3:23 of the third. "Its good to get that off my back and not worry about it anymore," Bjugsatd said about ending his scoring drought. Bjugstads second goal made the score 4-1. His short-handed shot from in front off a pass from Tomas Fleischmann easily got by MacIntyre at 6:02. Rangers shot from the point made the score 4-2 with 6:03 left. Boyes broke a 1-1 tie with 3 seconds left in the second. Bjugstad brought the puck from behind the net and passed in front of the crease to Boyes on the right side. He tapped the puck past MacIntyre. The Panthers took a 1-0 lead on Pirris goal 6:06 in. Pirri fired a shot from the top of the left circle and it hit the top right of the net. Pirri has points in five of the past six games. "Getting points is nice, but the team won in the end. Thats whats important," Pirri said. "Were just trying to build every game and every day get better." The Maple Leafs tied it 1-all on the goal by Bozak. Jake Gardiner dropped a pass to Bozak in the left, who wristed to past Luongo on the glove side for his 19th goal of the season, a career-high. NOTES: Pirri celebrated his 23rd birthday on Thursday. ... MacIntyre has played for over nine different minor league teams over a 10-year career.

It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points.

The stakes were higher, the competition more fierce and the atmosphere was that of a playoff game - something the young, upstart Raptors have five weeks to better prepare themselves for or the result will be eerily similar. Atlanta Braves Jerseys . -- The guys in green raced off the court and into the locker room where they danced and sang, compared whose shot was most likely to end up featured on "One Shining Moment," and checked Twitter to see who was giving them a shoutout.In the next World Cup bidding process, a vastly different set of FIFA rules should be in place.It had to be that way after the fallout from the 2018 and 2022 bidding contests, which were finally resolved Friday.At a meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco, FIFA President Sepp Blatter closed Michael Garcias investigation of World Cup hosts Russia and Qatar, and also looked ahead to the next bidding contest — and fresh rules of engagement.I am focused on the future, said Blatter, and pointed to a list of proposals that world footballs governing body is considering for the 2026 bids.Blatter said FIFA wants to make sure everyone can be confident that the 2026 bidding process will be fair, ethical and open.This might be Garcias long-term legacy at FIFA. Its his recommendations that have now been endorsed by German law professor Martin Nolte, who was consulted by FIFA.Heres a look at how future votes are expected to be handled:___NO COLLUSION: Never again will FIFA choose two World Cup hosts together, which some say invites vote trading pacts. These were widely alleged in the 2018-2022 contests, but not proven.FIFA has also taken the ultimate voting decision away from the much-discredited executive committee. In the future, the ruling board will propose up to three candidates for a vote by FIFA member federations. There are currently 209.However, Garcia also recommended that board members be barred from visiting bid nations, or being visited by bid officials.Garcia also wants bid nations barred from voting, as happens in Olympics Games and UEFA European Championship hosting contests.___TIGHTER RULES: The FIFA code of ethics, and bid conduct rules specific to the 2018-2022 campaigns, seemed to leave gaping loopholes.That should now change.According to FIFA, Nolte advised that reporting requirements for gifts, procedures for friendly matches and the role of consultants need to be tightened.Payments linked too a friendly match hosted by Qatar between Brazil and Argentina were flagged by Garcias report but not judged to have influenced the hosting outcome.ddddddddddddOther bidders were also prepared to send national teams to play matches in voters countries.Garcia has opened proceedings against then-FIFA voter Franz Beckenbauer, the German great whose business associates were employed as consultants by Australias 2022 bid.___PROJECTS CURBEDNo World Cup bid has seemed complete without a budget to spend on projects across the football world, in the name of leaving a legacy.That should stop, according to Nolte.The promotion of football development projects by bid teams outside of the country or member association concerned should no longer be permitted, FIFA said Friday.___BUDGET AUDITOne idea seared into the 2018-2022 saga is that Qatar bought the World Cup.The phrase was written by FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke in a May 2011 email to now-disgraced former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner.Valcke later explained it meant Qatars very important budget and (to) have used it to heavily promote their bid.Exactly how much Qatar spent is unclear as the bid was not obliged to open its books.In the future, bid teams should be subject to a strict legal obligation to allow an audit upon completion of the application and award procedure and to send the corresponding report to FIFA, the legal advice stated.___SAVE. DONT DELETERussias winning 2018 bid denied Garcias investigation team key evidence by simply not having it. The Russians said they used computers that were leased and then destroyed, and email accounts were not retrieved.The bid teams should be subject to a strict legal obligation to store all documents relating to their activities and to keep them available for FIFA for a specified period, FIFA said Friday.Garcia has suggested all documents should be stored at least five years.
