UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Scottie Upshall and the Florida Panthers have had little to celebrate this season. But four unanswered goals to secure a 5-3 win over the New York Islanders was reason enough to savour the moment. Upshall scored twice in the third period as part of the four-goal outburst as the Panthers snapped a four-game losing streak and sent the Islanders to yet another discouraging loss Sunday. Upshalls 11th of the season broke a 3-3 tie at 10:31 of the final period. The goal came on the rebound of shot by Shawn Mattias, who also scored two goals for the Panthers. Upshall tapped the loose puck past backup goaltender Anders Nilsson, who started in place of Evgeni Nabokov. He scored again at 15:26 on the power play to make it 5-3. Tim Thomas made 35 saves for the Panthers (23-31-7). "We came out determined in the third," said the 30-year-old Upshall, a first-round pick by Nashville in 2002 who almost completed a natural hat trick with two minutes left. "We needed a spark and we found it. And we played with an edge." The Islanders entered the third with a 3-1 advantage after Thomas Vanek scored twice in the first and Ryan Strome added a goal late in the second. But Floridas Marcel Goc and Matthias scored early in the third to tie the game at 3 before Upshalls late scores. Vanek opened the scoring at 6:41 with his 20th of the season and added his 21st on the power play at 7:39. The goals were his first since Jan. 25. Vanek was a major acquisition by the Islanders from Buffalo on Oct. 27 and has 17 goals in 47 games for New York. The Austrian left wing said he wants to test free agency this summer. Thus, the Islanders might try to trade him before Wednesdays deadline while they can still garner assets in return. The Islanders lost for the ninth time in 11 games. And it was the 12th time in their disappointing season in which they surrendered a two-goal lead, winning only two of those contests. "We seem to find ways to lose," said Andrew MacDonald, also a pending free agent who could be traded. "Its tough to see games slip away. When you get the lead, you should be able to hold it, most of the time. Its discouraging." MacDonald also addressed the idea he could be leaving the only NHL organization he has known. "I thought about it today, it weighs on your mind," the 27-year-old defenceman said. "You try not to let it get to you." After Matthias scored for Florida to make it 2-1 at 18:15 of the second, Strome restored the two-goal margin for the Islanders 59 seconds later with his second of the season. Gocs 11th of the season at 3:16 of the third came on a 40-foot floater from just inside the left point to make it 3-2 early in the third. Matthias scored his second of the game and ninth of the season at 4:18. The afternoon matchup was chippy from the start. Rival tough guys Krys Barch of the Panthers and the Islanders Eric Boulton squared off 2:25 into the game. Eight seconds later, a skirmish ensued between Brian Strait of the Islanders and Jonathan Huberdeau of Florida. "We didnt quit, we stayed involved," added Matthias. "We played a real gritty game and were glad to get the two points." The Islanders beat Toronto in overtime last Thursday in their first game back following the Olympic break. But they were drubbed 6-1 on Saturday by the New Jersey Devils as Jaromir Jagr scored his 700th career goal. The Islanders played without defenceman Travis Hamonic, suspended one game for instigating a fight near the end of Saturdays loss.

Verroken, whose Sporting Integrity group is dedicated to assisting sports organisations and athletes with effective anti-doping policies, says such supplements can put a large strain on the heart.Sakho is being investigated by UEFA after an alleged anti-doping violation following a Europa League tie against Manchester United. The probe is believed to relate to the use of a fat-burning substance. The 26-year-old is expected to request his B sample be tested ahead of Tuesdays deadline.When asked by Sky Sports News HQ if there were any health risks involved in taking fat-burning supplements, Verroken said: Huge risks.If you are increasing the heart rate the important thing to know is what you are also going to be doing - if you are exercising at the same time - because you are overloading the heart and that really would not be a good thing if your heart has some congenital problem or you are demanding more of your ....... without proper hydration, proper food.

And again, if you are trying to dry out the ....... when you are involved in intense exercise, there are really big risks in terms of cardiovascular problems.Verroken is not convinced fat-burners improve performance though, and she believes there are alternative means available which are less dangerous.She said: Its a difficult question really, because if your intention is to improve your performance, I think there are far better ways of trying to do this. Sakho is being probed over an alleged anti-doping violation But certainly some people might encourage the use of these type of supplements as a way of giving you perhaps a litttle bit more energy, offsetting fatigue so that perhaps you could hang on in there that little bit longer.ddddddddddddWe do know that some people use them as a way of training for longer, and if they are consuming those really they have got to look at the point of which they get to exhaustion and the ....... is very, very under-pressure and certainly the heart has been beating faster to try to speed up the metabolism.

They make the heart beat faster and certainly that is their action in the ......., to stimulate the ....... and really increase your energy levels, make you feel you have a little bit more energy and burn off the fat in the ....... cells. Sakho is expected to request a test of a B sample And Verroken insists the Premier League should not be criticised because UEFA discovered the alleged violation, as she believes that is down to the timing of an individuals test.Verroken said: We have a range of programmes going on across sport, some by international bodies, some by national bodies, so really its all a matter of timing that testing according to the kind of performance schedule, the training schedules of athletes across different sports.I dont think its fair to perhaps compare one testing program with another. In some respects its a bit of a lucky dip almost, because if you are using a supplement, it may not be a contaminated version of that supplement, it may not contain a prohibited substance.But the next batch that you use may very well contain that prohibited substance, so if thats the timing of when the testing programme goes on then certainly in some respects its more bad luck than anything else. But thats what happens in anti-doping, we have to create the deterrent in order to deliver the detection. Also See: Liverpool video Liverpool fixtures Liverpool stats Get a £10 free bet!
