Augsburg, Germany (SportsNetwork.com) - Augsburg will be aiming to repeat its upset of Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich on Saturday as the two sides tangle in a battle of top-three clubs. Augsburgs inclusion in the top three is certainly a surprise, but no more so than the teams 1-0 win over the champions last April, which also took place at the SGL Arena. That result ended Bayerns 53-game unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga, but the hosts will certainly have their work cut out for them if they want to repeat that performance. Bayern has won 11 of 14 games in league play, scoring 33 times while yielding just three goals. In fact, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has allowed just one goal in his last 12 league appearances. Goals figure to be difficult to come by for Augsburg, but the club can at least take some confidence from the fact that they are riding a four-game winning streak that has propelled them to the lofty heights of a top-three place. Wolfsburg is second in the table, seven points back of Bayern, and the club will seek its ninth win in 10 Bundesliga matches as Paderborn comes to town with the visitors having earned just two points from a possible 12. Bayer Leverkusen and Monchengladbach meet up on Sunday with both sides level on 23 points, one point from third place, while Schalke is also on 23 points and hosts Cologne having qualified for the knockout round in the Champions League in midweek. Borussia Dortmund climbed off the bottom of the league last weekend and the club eyes a second straight win at Hertha Berlin, which is level with Dortmund on 14 points, just one place above the drop zone. Stuttgart sunk to the bottom of the league last weekend and the club will try for its fourth win of the campaign at Mainz, while second-from-the-bottom Werder Bremen hosts Hannover and bottom-half sides Freiburg and Hamburg square off at Mage Solar Stadium. On Friday, Hoffenheim grabbed a 3-2 win over Eintracht thanks to a goal from Roberto Firmino in the 87th minute, which came 10 minutes after Eintrachts Haris Seferovic leveled the contest.

Yannick Weber Jersey . -- Derek Jeter spoke for 25 minutes, 44 seconds and answered 26 questions about his decision to retire at the end of this season.NASHVILLE -- Undeterred by his scoring drought, Ryan Ellis just kept shooting and it paid off Tuesday night. Ellis ended a 42-game scoring drought by notching the first of Nashvilles three third-period goals and added an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. Shea Weber scored in the first period, Craig Smith and Viktor Stalberg followed Ellis with goals in the third, and David Legwand had three assists to help Nashville snap a three-game losing streak. Lee Stempniak and Mikael Backlund scored for Calgary, which has lost four of its last five. Weber opened the scoring at 15:52 of the first period. With Nashville on a power play, Roman Josi sent a pass from above the right faceoff circle to Weber above the left, where he blasted a one-timer over the glove of Flames goaltender Karri Ramo. The Predators outshot Calgary 15-10 in the first. "We turned the puck over in the first period," Calgary coach Bob Hartley said. "We kind of gave them the first period that we didnt want to give them. We had no intensity. If its not for Karri Ramo, we could have gone on the plane after the first period." The Predators entered Tuesday with the leagues seventh-ranked power play, but had not scored a goal on the man advantage in their last four games. A night after recording his first-career NHL shutout in Carolina, Ramo got the start Tuesday and made 30 saves. The Flames drew even with 1:04 remaining in the first. From behind the Nashville net, Jiri Hudler carried the puck just above the goal line on the left side and slid a pass to an unchecked Stempniak in the lower part of the right faceoff circle. His shot beat Nashville goaltender Carter Hutton for his seventh goal of the season. Stempniaks goal was his first since Dec. 7, a span of 17 games. "I thought I did a good job tonight of handling the puck and keeping the forecheck at bay," Hutton said. "I thought we had the edge in the first. I thought (Ramo) made a lot of good saves and for me, I wwas able to make a couple of saves and handle the puck and get in the game.dddddddddddd" Hutton saw his first game action since a disappointing effort in Carolina on Jan. 5 that drew some criticism from Nashville coach Barry Trotz. He recovered nicely Tuesday night, making 22 saves. "That was a good bounce-back game for him," Trotz said. "I thought we did a really good job of containing Calgary for the most part, especially in the first two periods." Nashville went in front for good at 55 seconds of the third when Ellis carried the puck in on the left side, cut to the high slot and beat Ramo with a slap shot for his second goal of the season. "You just keep shooting, I think thats the biggest thing," Ellis said. "Our forwards did a good job of driving the net, and luckily it went in." Less than two minutes later, Smith gave Nashville a 3-1 lead on another Predators power play. Seth Jones slap shot from the centre of the blue line hit traffic in front of the Calgary net, and Smith dug the puck out and beat Ramo with a wrist shot to the glove side. Calgary though they had cut the Nashville lead at 4:17 of the third, but the officials ruled that Mark Giordano had played the puck to a teammate with a high stick. Stalberg put Nashville ahead 4-1 at 10:52 of the third when his redirection of Ellis shot got by Ramo, but Backlund made it a two-goal game at 13:07 with a nice move off the right half wall before beating Hutton on the stick side with a wrist shot. Backlund has a goal in each of his last three games. "Its nice for personal confidence," Backlund said. "Thats what everybody wants to do, and everybody tries to do. Im happy about it, but at the same time, if we dont win games, Im not satisfied." NOTES: Hudler had two assists in the game. He has assists in three consecutive games. ... Nashville is 17-2-4 when scoring first this season. ... The Predators concluded a five game home stand 2-2-1. . It was the first three-assist game for Legwand this season and the fourth of his career. ' ' '
