GREEN BAY, Wis. - Julius Peppers crossed the goal line and caught his breath. But his work wasnt done after returning an interception 49 yards for a touchdown. Teammate Morgan Burnett pointed to the stands a€” time for Peppers first Lambeau Leap. One of many for the Packers on Thursday night. Aaron Rodgers threw for three scores, and Eddie Lacy ran for a season-high 105 yards and two touchdowns in the 42-10 rout of the Minnesota Vikings. Jordy Nelson hauled in a 66-yard touchdown catch. Things were going so well in Green Bay that even Peppers found his way to the end zone through the mist. But something was missing. (Burnett)just said, Go, go, go, go! Peppers recounted. This is all new to Peppers after joining the Packers in the off-season as a free agent. It was actually pretty tough to get up there. I was pretty tired after that run, so I barely got up there, Peppers said. It was tough. The Vikings had it much worse. The Packers led 28-0 after the first half played in a light rain. They essentially toyed with Minnesota the rest of the way. Green Bay outplayed us, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. They were more physical than we were. They did a much better job all night. Peppers had the highlight-reel play in the second quarter after picking off a pass over the middle from Christian Ponder, who was hit by tackle Luther Robinson as he released the throw. The 34-year-old Peppers veered left across the field and waited for blocks before striding the final 10 yards along the sideline to make it 21-0 with 7:06 left in the second quarter. Peppers became the first player in NFL history with 100 sacks and 10 interceptions. I like the way it went tonight, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. Yeah, Ill take this. Ponder struggled in getting the start at quarterback with rookie Teddy Bridgewater out with a sprained left ankle. Jamari Lattimore intercepted Ponders pass over the middle on Minnesotas drive after the Peppers touchdown, setting up Rodgers 11-yard scoring pass to Davante Adams to give Green Bay a four-touchdown lead with 4:55 left in the first half. That was Rodgers 200th career touchdown a€” though he let Adams keep the ball in honour of his first career score. Im very proud of Aaron, McCarthy said. It seems like hes in the point of his career now where every week or every other week hes breaking a record. The rest of the game was a mere formality. Fans took delight in showering former Green Bay receiver Greg Jennings with boos whenever he touched the ball. Jennings finished with two catches for 31 yards. Rodgers was 12 of 17 for 156 yards a€” and the offence wasnt really at its best. There were several three-and-outs sprinkled among the touchdown drives. But after a short week to get ready for a Thursday night game, the Packers will surely relish this win over a long weekend. On the touchdown to Nelson, Rodgers found the NFLs leading receiver on play-action. Nelson caught the pass stride at the 20 and easily outraced safety Harrison Smith into end zone for the Packers second touchdown. Rodgers also connected with Randall Cobb for an 8-yard touchdown pass set up by three straight long runs by Lacy. Cobb scored his league-leading sixth touchdown of the season. The Packers struggling running game also got back on track, with Lacy running for touchdowns on back-to-back drives in the third quarter. He barrelled over safety Robert Blanton into the end zone on his second score, from 10 yards out. Eddie, you know, hes going to be a guy whos just going to be continuing to lay on people and to be more of a force as the weather continues to turn here, Rodgers said. In contrast, Minnesota rarely advanced past midfield. Its only venture across the 50 in the first half ended with Burnett forcing Matt Asiata to fumble after an 11-yard run, and Casey Hayward recovered the Vikings third consecutive turnover. Under pressure much of the night, Minnesota could rarely get anything going through the air until late with the game well in hand. Ponder was 22 of 44 for 222 yards. Green Bay finished with six sacks, including 1 1/2 apiece for Mike Daniels and former Viking Letroy Guion. The Vikings finally broke the shutout on Ponders 6-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter. But they still trailed 42-7. Playing like that, you dont have much to say. It was embarrassing. Thats not the way I expected to come out and play, Ponder said. Minnesota had the most notable injury when receiver Cordarelle Patterson left with a hip injury early in the third quarter after making a 6-yard catch. For Green Bay, defensive lineman Datone Jones left in the second quarter with an ankle injury. Stephen Nogosek Jersey .

There hasnt been as much of that lately, though tonights visit to the Florida Panthers could present the Senators with a decent opportunity to win consecutive games for the first time in three weeks. Viewers in the Senators region can watch the game live on TSN5 at 7:30pm et/8:30 at. You can also listen to the action on TSN Radio 1200 starting at 5:30pm ET. Ottawa (10-7-4) began the season 7-3-2 and allowed 2.17 goals per game in that span. Over a 3-4-2 stretch since, its giving up 3.11. The Senators are making their third stop on a five-game trip, which began with a loss in Detroit before Tuesdays 3-2 shootout win at St. Louis. Erik Condra and Alex Chiasson scored third-period goals to help Ottawa overcome a two-goal deficit in the final 12 minutes. Robin Lehner made 27 saves and stopped all three shootout chances as the team focused on returning to its disciplined form. This was a good win for our team, Lehner said. It was very important for our team to come back here and get two points. We played the right way, tried to get back to a structured game. Its something we needed. Lehner has played three of the teams last four and gone 2-1-0 with a 2.28 goals-against average, while Craig Anderson tries to work through a stretch of recent struggles after a stellar start to the season. Anderson has a 3.69 GAA and .894 save percentage over a 1-2-1 stretch after opening the season with a 1.72 GAA and league-best .952 save percentage while going 4-2-2. That start included a 1-0, 30-save victory in Florida on Octt.dddddddddddd 13. Should Anderson return to face the Panthers (8-6-6), hes got a 10-2-0 record and 1.67 GAA in his last 12 starts against them to fall back on. Clarke MacArthur scored in the latest win and has 11 points over an eight-game streak against Florida. The Senators have won 14 of the last 18 meetings and will also be facing an uncertain goaltending situation. Roberto Luongo left midway through Wednesdays 1-0 home win over Carolina, but Al Montoya concluded the shutout with 22 saves. (Luongos) been so good for us, its tough to see a guy go down with an injury like that, but hopefully its minor, Montoya told the teams official website. For me it was just about believing in my game. Ive been working hard with the goalie coach (Robb Tallas). Its just knowing what I can do and contributing when I get the chance. Luongo hasnt been ruled out, but the team did recall goalie Dan Ellis from AHL San Antonio on Thursday when Scottie Upshall landed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. Should they elect to turn to Montoya, they could be in good hands. He has a 1.99 GAA in three starts and three relief efforts this season. Nick Bjugstad remained hot for the Panthers with the only goal against Carolina, his sixth in as many games to go along with three assists. The pucks just going in for me, said Bjugstad, who leads the team with eight goals. Its not going in much for anyone else. No other Panther has more than four, and the rest of the team has four goals in five games. Floridas 2.05 season scoring average ranks 28th. The power play has been barren in the last three (0 for 10) and gone 5 for 37 over 12 games. ' ' '
