BUFFALO – The Leafs may have two surprise additions to their opening night roster. Cheap Phoenix Coyotes Jerseys . Jake Gardiner is inching himself further and further into the mix on the Leafs blue line, while Matthew Lombardi may be ready to start the season. A long-shot to make the opening night roster, the 21-year-old Gardiner continues to blow away expectations. On Saturday at the First Niagara Center, he logged a game-high 26 minutes, chipping in with his third assist in four preseason games. "Its far from a lock," said President and GM Brian Burke, during the second intermission of a 3-2 exhibition loss to the Sabres. "There are still some things Id like to see him get better at in his own end, but he has put himself in the mix." "I dont feel any pressure," said Gardiner, "but I do feel, like he said, [that] Im playing my way into a tough decision for them. Despite a clog of NHL defencemen in front of him – including Mike Komisarek, Cody Franson and Carl Gunnarsson - Gardiner is quickly making himself a very real option for the club for the opener on October 6th. There was guarded hope internally that hed be ready to make an impact at some point this season, but not this soon. "[Hes] really made a pretty solid impression on all of us," said head coach Ron Wilson. "Generally, hes almost been our best defenceman in every game so we have to continue looking at him." "Hes an explosive guy that does smart things with the puck at high speed," added Burke. "Those guys are valuable." An impressive skater, Gardiners knack for joining the rush and creating offensively has him knocking on the door of an NHL job. His neutral-zone feed to Mikhail Grabovski on Saturday kick-started the Belarusians second goal of the night versus the Sabres. Lombardi meanwhile, continues to stride in the right direction. The 29-year-old – acquired in a trade with Nashville – missed 80 games last season with a concussion, but has been skating since mid-August and has now been cleared for full contact at practice. Wilson was even hopeful at the prospect of getting him into an exhibition game, potentially next weekend against Detroit. "Im not going to tip my hand," said Wilson, clearly intrigued by Lombardis presence, "but he can play centre or probably left wing. "He brings another element of all-out speed. Weve been watching him in practice and hes a roadrunner. Probably up front would be the fastest guy on our team, even quicker than [Mikhail] Grabovski or [Nikolai] Kulemin. You can never be too fast and hes got some experience which will help too." Even the suggestion of playing Lombardi on the wing hints at the early returns of Nazem Kadri and Matt Frattin. With the top six seemingly locked up, the only available position for Lombardi would be third line left wing. Kadri and Frattin were both vying for that job, but Wilsons inference suggests that neither has done quite enough to grab hold of the position. "Thats hard," said Wilson. "Weve still got three games left." Kadri has just one assist in four preseason games, while Frattin has tallied two goals and two assists. Said Burke of Kadri, "Hes dangerous with the puck, sometimes for the wrong team. Were still seeing too many turnovers high in the attacking zone, but hes definitely improved and does some good things." The Leafs will make their second round of cuts on Sunday, likely dropping down from 47 players to a number in the mid-twenties. "Overall, Im happy the way camp is going," said Burke. "I think the guys we brought in to do certain things are doing them. I think the young guys are pushing which is their job in a camp. Matt Frattins pushing, Kadris pushing, Colborne I think has played well, Jake Gardiner, these are young guys that are pushing and thats what training camp is all about."

Lampard will have a scan and be assessed by medics on Thursday before a decision is made about whether the Chelsea player can remain in the 23-man squad, which has already been submitted to UEFA. On Monday, central midfielder Gareth Barry was ruled out of the tournament because of a stomach injury and replaced by Phil Jagielka. England can make changes to its squad due to injuries, which must be verified by a member of UEFAs medical committee, any time before the teams Euro 2012 opener against France on June 11. Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has been put on standby as cover for Lampard. If the 33-year-old Lampard is ruled out, Hodgson could pair captain Steven Gerrard with Tottenhams Scott Parker in midfield. Parker had been struggling with an Achilles injury, but recovered in time to feature in Saturdays 1-0 victory over Norway. "The injury is fine and being treated by the England medicall team," Parker said in Wednesdays edition of The Sun newspaper. cheap jerseys from china. "The biggest challenge is regaining full match fitness. "I played against Norway and Im getting stronger and have 10 days of training to get me in shape, so fingers crossed Ill be fully fit when the tournament gets under way." Englands final warm-up match is against Belgium on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. The squad travels on Wednesday to its Euro 2012 base in Krakow, Poland. Before the injury, Lampard said he had renewed belief about Englands Euro 2012 prospects after Chelseas unexpected Champions League triumph earlier this month. The Blues, under interim coach Roberto Di Matteo, won their first European Cup by beating Bayern Munich on penalty kicks. "We will try and bring the fact weve achieved something this year, potentially against the odds with Chelsea, and maybe thats what England will be up against odds-wise this summer," Lampard said. "We showed what can be achieved and there is nothing wrong with that feeling (of being underdogs) as long as we are focused as a group." ' ' '
