ROME -- First there was Edinson Cavani. Then came Gonzalo Higuain. Now its Arkadiusz Miliks turn to take over the scoring duties at Napoli.Quickly making Higuains Italian-record 90 million euro ($99 million) transfer to Juventus a distant memory, Milik scored two headers as Napoli came from behind to beat Dynamo Kiev 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday.It was a magical night for me and a perfect evening for the entire squad, Milik said.Add the goals from Kiev to the pair he scored in a 4-2 win over AC Milan in Serie A and Milik has four from only seven shots on target this season.Thats the kind of productivity that will spur the artisans on Naples famed San Gregorio Armeno street to create a Christmas figurine in Miliks image.Cavani figurines used to be big sellers before his move to Paris Saint-Germain three years ago, and Higuain is being treated as a public enemy after his July transfer to a domestic rival.Im pleased that the Neapolitan fans are happy to have me in Azzurro but its only the fourth match, Milik said. We need to stay calm.While Higuain scored 36 goals last season to break a 66-year-old Serie A record, its possible that Miliks finishing ability may align better with Napolis array of talented wingers.At 1.86 meters (6-foot-1), Milik is slightly taller than Higuain and much more proficient on headers.With Dries Mertens, Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne providing the crosses, three of Miliks goals have come on headers. Last season, Napoli as a team scored only eight goals with headers.Im happy with Milik but I dont want to make unfair comparisons with Higuain, Napolis second-year coach Maurizio Sarri said.With a transfer fee of about 35 million euros ($40 million), Napoli may have got Milik from Ajax at a bargain.The 22-year-old Poland striker scored 32 goals in 52 league matches with Ajax the last two seasons and is considered a likely successor to Robert Lewandowski, Polands captain and Bayern Munich standout.Milik also scored in Polands 1-0 win over Northern Ireland at the European Championship.Callejon is excelling in Higuains absence, too, scoring two goals in each of Napolis last two Serie A matches.We have a deeper squad this year, Napoli defender Raul Albiol said.Runner-up to Juventus last season, Napoli is again second through three rounds, two points back and level with Roma.Last weekend, captain Marek Hamsik scored his 81st Serie A goal for Napoli to match the total of club great Diego Maradona. Then Callejon added two more in a 3-0 win at Palermo.Its the 10th year that Im wearing this shirt and I think Sarris style is the most attractive football Ive ever played, Hamsik said. The squad is having fun.Attempting to win its first Serie A title since Maradona led the club to the scudetto in 1987 and 1990, Napoli next hosts a Bologna side Saturday led by former coach Roberto Donadoni that has won two of its first three matches.Up next in the Champions League is a home game against Benfica, which drew 1-1 with Besiktas in the other Group B match Tuesday, putting Napoli in early control of the group.The first match is always important, especially when you win it on the road, said Albiol, who joined Napoli three years ago from Real Madrid.The 57-year-old Sarri spent 25 years coaching small and provincial clubs in every division of Italian football before finally hitting the big time with Napoli last season.It took me 25 years to get here and now it seems like Im finally reaching the end of the road, Sarri said before his Champions League debut. But Im not the type of person to get emotional. Im not satisfied. I want to continue enjoying myself.Milik, so far, has provided plenty of enjoyment.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Robert Horry Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. Chris Paul Jersey . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. http://www.therocketsofficial.com/Authentic-Clyde-Drexler-Rockets-Jersey/ .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers. Austin Rivers Rockets Jersey . It might not have mattered. While the Dodgers are preparing for the playoffs, the Padres showed their future has promise behind two rookies. Tracy McGrady Rockets Jersey . Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Pekka Rinne is having a remarkable month for the Nashville Predators.P.K. Subban scored twice in the second period and Rinne made 24 saves, helping Nashville to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night.Viktor Arvidsson also scored and Ryan Ellis added three assists for the Predators, winners of two of three.Just the way we played good defense and made good decisions with the puck led to good offense and ultimately staying out of our end keeping their chances down, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. They are a very dangerous team, very fast, very skilled, and you really have to pay attention to what you are doing on the ice and I thought our guys were really detailed tonight.Rinne improved to 6-1-2 in November. He made 15 saves through two periods and stopped 9 of 10 in the third to earn victory.I was able to make a couple of big saves in the first and that obviously gives you good confidence, Rinne said. Ive been feeling really good as of late, just trying to keep it rolling, and try not to focus too much on how many shots Im going to get.Tyler Johnson scored and Ben Bishop made 27 saves for Tampa Bay, which got its only defeat in the final game of a five-game trip.We didnt have the puck enough, we didnt create enough offensive zone time, and when you are defending a lot, chances are you are going to get a lot of penalties called against you, Lightning forward Brian Boyle said. Its not a good recipe for success.Arvidsson scored the games first goal at 4:25 of the first.Ryan Johansen won a faceoff against Ondrej Palat in the circle to the left of Bishop. The puck came back to Ellis, who passed to Roman Josi on the right boards. Josi threw the puck toward the net and Arvidsson was able to deflect it past Bishop on the far side.ddddddddddddSubban doubled the Nashville lead at 9:55 of the second.With Nashville on a power play, Ellis had the puck atop the right circle and sent a pass to Subban above the high slot. Subbans one-timer beat Bishop between the pads.The three-point night matched a career high for Ellis.Subban scored his second of the night 2 1/2 minutes later. From the left boards, Filip Forsberg found Subban, again in the high slot. Subbans slap shot through traffic beat Bishop low to the stick side.The one thing about this team that has been different for me is theres always guys in front of the net battling, creating traffic, Subban said. As a guy who likes to shoot the puck and get it to the net, its good to know because when you get the puck, you dont even have to look. You know theres guys around the net or in front and we have success when we continue to do that.The Lightning scored with 49.7 seconds left in the third on Johnsons power-play goal with Bishop pulled for an extra attacker.Its tough to score when youre not generating too much, Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. We just looked like a tired group. Weve got to regroup because that was a winnable hockey game for us and we let it slip.Game notes Forsberg played his 200th NHL game. ... Subban has at least one point in his last five games played against Tampa Bay. ... The Lightning are 0-3-0 against Western Conference teams this season. ... Tampa Bay is 1-3-2 in its last six games against Nashville.UP NEXTLightning: Return home Wednesday night to face Philadelphia.Predators: Face Dallas at home Wednesday night. ' ' '
