GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- No. 25 Florida will be without its most versatile player for the rest of the season.Coach Jim McElwain said Monday that receiver Dre Massey will have season-ending knee surgery, a big blow considering the Gators were counting on the junior college transfer to make an immediate impact this fall.Massey injured his right knee during the opening kickoff in Floridas 24-7 victory over UMass on Saturday night. He continued to play until halftime.Theres obviously disappointment any time something like that happens, McElwain said. And yet the beautiful thing about teammates, family, is theyre there to support, elevate, pick him up. Thats what we saw. He had a lot of family members here, too, for the first [game].I know it was disappointing for him and yet hes got a lot of ball in front of him. Hell get this thing handled.Massey is capable of lining up at receiver, running back, quarterback, returner and even punter. He did it all at Holmes (Mississippi) Community College last year. He caught 21 passes for 548 yards and six touchdowns, and carried 59 times for 452 yards and three scores. He also punted three times (averaged 22.3 yards) and threw three passes (all incomplete).The Gators (1-0) had planned to get him on the field alongside fellow speedsters Antonio Callaway and Brandon Powell. Now, though, Massey will have to wait until 2017 to make an impact at the major college level. He will have two more years of eligibility remaining.Thats a hard injury to have happen to him, but I think he showed how tough he is, quarterback Luke Del Rio said. Its going to be tough to lose a great player like Dre, but were talented in that room and well rally around him and support him through the rehab process.Florida will turn to several freshmen to fill the void. Freddie Swain and Josh Hammond caught passes in the opener, and Tyrie Cleveland and Rick Wells are back after serving one-game suspensions. Cleveland and Wells were suspended for firing BB guns inside a residence dorm in July. The legal case is still pending.Cornerback Jalen Tabor and tight end Cyontai Lewis also are returning from one-game suspensions for fighting in practice.All four could play when the Gators open Southeastern Conference play Saturday against Kentucky (0-1).Lewis is expected to bolster the teams receiving corps in Masseys absence, and Tabor should solidify a secondary that allowed receptions of 24, 30 and 53 yards against the Minutemen.Were going to have a lot more exciting plays, linebacker Jarrad Davis said. I think a lot of guys are going to be able to really let their guard down and go play now. Were locked tight back there, and its going to be really exciting to see what goes down when hes there.Jose Urquidy Jersey .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche.

Batiste, who briefly signed with the Eskimos in 2006, has spent time with several NFL teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins.PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan keeps insisting there isnt a switch his team can flip that makes two-goal deficits vanish within a matter of minutes.It just seems that way.Bryan Rust had his first career hat trick, Sidney Crosby added his NHL-leading 17th goal and the Penguins raced past the Ottawa Senators 8-5 on Monday night. Pittsburgh poured in six goals over the final 32 minutes after spotting the Senators a 4-2 lead.This group has provided enough evidence that regardless of what happens, we have the firepower, the talent level, the capability to win games, Sullivan said. Theres a belief that regardless of what the score is, we can win.Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel each had a goal and two assists for the Penguins, and Matt Cullen and Justin Schultz also scored. Matt Murray made 17 saves after relieving an ineffective Marc-Andre Fleury in the second period.Anytime youre forced to change goalies it gets everybodys attention, Cullen said.Pittsburgh has won three straight overall and improved to 7-0-2 in its last nine against the Senators. The Penguins also won a game in which they trailed by two for the 13th time since Sullivan took over as coach last December.This team (Pittsburgh), you just open the door a little bit and theyll just barge in, Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. So, we have to be better with a two-goal lead, thats for sure. Well learn how to do that.Matt Stone had a goal and two assists for the Senators. Erik Karlsson, Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone and Dion Phaneuf also scored for Ottawa, which lost in regulation for just the second time in its last eight games.Craig Anderson spent most of the night under siege by the Penguins and stopped 36 of the 43 shots he faced before being pulled following Rusts successful penalty shot 12:36 into the third. Rust picked up his first hat trick since his college days playing for Notre Dame on an empty-netter with 2:28 remaining. The crowd waited until the goal was upheld on review before showering the ice with hats.I just think they didnt think I would get a hat trick, joked Rush, who finished with four points in all.Rust opened the scoring by taking a pretty feed from Malkin and jamming it by Anderson just 1:45 into the game, setting the tone for a wild three periods that produced 13 goals on a combined 80 shoots.ddddddddddddThe Senators chased Fleury when Hoffman pounded home a one-timer from the right circle to make it 4-2 at 7:08 of the second period. Fleury stopped 12 of 16 shots and was hurt by shoddy play in front of him and at least one bad bounce: Stone knocked a carom off the glass behind the Pittsburgh goal out of midair and into the open net.You hate to leave your goalie hanging out to dry, Cullen said. The goals we gave up, there were a couple that were unfortunate. Murray entered to a loud ovation from the 445th consecutive sellout crowd in Pittsburgh and his team responded almost immediately, scoring three times in a span of 6:09 to take the lead. Cullens short-handed breakaway sparked the surge. Kessel tied it with a nasty wrist shot from between the circles and Schultz finished it with a wrist shot of his own to give the Penguins a 5-4 lead.Ottawa stuck with Anderson, making his first start since taking a brief leave of absence to be with his wife as she battles throat cancer, even after the deluge. It backfired. Malkin squeezed past two defenders to flip a backhand by Anderson 1:05 into the third to put the Penguins up 6-4.Phaneuf brought the Senators back within one with Ottawas third power-play goal, but Pittsburghs beleaguered penalty killers finally got a stop a couple of minutes later and Rust went high with the backhand on his penalty shot to give the Penguins the breathing room they needed.Game notesOttawa went 3 for 5 on the power play.
