TORONTO -- Toronto Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock briefly considered pulling Frederik Andersen in what was ultimately the worst game of his NHL career, a 7-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.Andersen gave up a career-high seven goals on only 24 shots Tuesday night, the third time in his first five starts the 27-year-old has allowed at least five goals and fourth time hes allowed four or more. Andersen is sporting an unseemly .851 save percentage so far this season.I felt like everything just bounced the wrong way and (I) wasnt able to make any saves when we needed to, Andersen said.Tampa Bay struck for four goals on the first 11 shots, including two by Steven Stamkos who matched a career-high with four points. Still Babcock stuck with his struggling No. 1, whom the Leafs acquired in a summer trade with Anaheim.Hes my guy, I want him to play, Babcock said after Torontos fifth loss in six games to start the season. So I could pull him and then say `OK I showed you! But what did I show him? To me dig in there with the rest of the guys, make the next save and give us a chance to come back and win the game. You cant do that sitting on the bench.Andersen arrived in Toronto with considerable pressure, having signed for five years and $25 million. He was instantly crowned the clubs undisputed starting goalie, a position he never held over three seasons with the Ducks.After the latest defeat, which followed a 5-4 shootout loss in Chicago, Andersen said he was still adjusting to a new team and city with infinitely brighter lights and significantly more attention. He was also trying to rediscover a confidence which has eluded him so far this fall, an injury before training camp foreshadowing a rocky October.Definitely an adjustment, he said of the move to Toronto from quieter confines in Anaheim. But youve just got to keep doing what youre doing, dont try to change too much. I think thats something that Ive got to be better at, just play my game and then the results should come.It didnt take long for Tampa Bay to get to Andersen, Stamkos scoring the games first goal 79 seconds in.Andrej Sustr intercepted Auston Matthews failed pass attempt in the Toronto zone and then found Stamkos alone behind the Leafs defense and though the Lightnings captain lost control of the puck, Leafs defenseman Matt Hunwick inadvertently batted it past his own goaltender.Stamkos re-signed with the Lightning for eight years and $68 million after flirting briefly with the Leafs ahead of the July 1 signing date.Killorn upped the Tampa lead to 2-0 six minutes after Stamkos scored.Stamkos whistled a one-timer past Andersen from the top of the faceoff circle. It was second goal of the game for Stamkos and fifth in six games this season.The seven-goal shelling eclipsed Andersens previous career-high of six goals, which came last March, against the Maple Leafs.Youve just got to challenge yourself to work harder, Andersen said of digging out from the early rut. Thats the only thing to get out of it if you arent feeling like youre being hit with the puck or seeing the puck; youve got to just work harder to see it.Babcock stressed his faith in Andersen.It hasnt gone as good as he would like it to go, Babcock said. (But) were very confident in his ability. We did a lot of work in advance to know what hes capable of doing. Hes done it for three years straight.Its very important that we support him, the coach added. But hes got to get to work too and do his part.Toronto outshot Tampa 13-9 in the first but trailed 3-0.The Lightning scored their fourth goal on only their 11th shot. Stamkos fired a pass into the slot and the deflected puck eventually made its way to Hedman, who tucked in his first goal this season.In the second period Peter Hollands shot hit Bishop in the mask. The goaltender fell immediately to the ice and lost teeth on the play. He searched the ice with teammate Brian Boyle, who eventually seemed to locate the lost teeth.Bishop remained in the game, yielding a late period power-play goal to Nylander. The 20-year-old got his fourth goal and eighth point this season. Nylander, who added a third-period assist, has eight goals and 20 points in his last 18 NHL games and at least a point in five of six games this fall.Kucherov, Namestnikov and Drouin added third-period goals for Tampa, Van Riemsdyk and Matthews both scored just over a minute apart, but the late rally fell short.Matthews has 10 points in his first six NHL games, vaulting into first place in the NHL in scoring.UP NEXT:Lightning: play at Montreal on Thursday.Maple Leafs: host Florida on Thursday.

PHILADELPHIA -- That chip Carson Wentz says he has on his shoulder has nothing to do with being snubbed by the Cleveland Browns.The rookie quarterback makes his first NFL start Sunday when the Eagles host the Browns, who traded the No. 2 pick to Philadelphia instead of staying put and selecting Wentz.My focus is on playing them, Wentz said Wednesday. I dont really want to address the past and everything. Im really ecstatic Im here.Browns coach Hue Jackson told Pro Football Talk Live on Tuesday: We didnt draft Carson Wentz because we didnt think it was the right fit for our team at this time.Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta told ESPN.com in July the team didnt draft a quarterback -- he didnt mention Wentz by name -- because it didnt consider any player in this draft to be good enough to be a top 20 quarterback in the NFL.Cleveland signed Robert Griffin III in free agency and accumulated several high draft picks by trading down. Thats sound strategy for a rebuilding team. RG3 will be the 25th different quarterback to start for the Browns since 1999. The list includes Eagles coach Doug Pederson.Everybody is going to have their opinion, Pederson said. That is just the way this business is, but we are very comfortable with Carson and the direction he is headed.Jackson, by the way, later praised Wentz in a conference call with Philadelphia reporters.I think Carson Wentz can be whatever he wants to be. I really do, Jackson said. I think hes going to be a good player.Wentz arrived at thee teams practice facility at 5:15 a.ddddddddddddm. along with backup quarterback Chase Daniel. They beat Pederson to the building -- he got there at 5:45. Practice started at 11:30.Wentz is spending more time cramming for his debut after being promoted from No. 3 quarterback to starter last Saturday when the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to Minnesota.Extra preparation is pretty normal, Wentz said. This is just the beginning of the new normal.Part of the reason some teams didnt value Wentz as highly as Philadelphia was the fact he played at a Division II school. Wentz made 23 starts at North Dakota State, leading the Bison to consecutive FCS championships.Coming from a smaller school, you kind of have a chip on your shoulder so to speak, he said. It doesnt matter where you come from, if you can play, you can play.Clevelands defense is wary of Wentz, even if he missed the last three preseason games with injured ribs.He didnt play at a D-I school, but they obviously see a lot in him, Browns cornerback Joe Haden said. We are definitely excited to go out there and try to mix it up. He is not really experienced and hasnt seen too many different defenses, so just going to try and disguise and go after it.---AP Sports Writer Tom Withers in Cleveland contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi ' ' '
