OTTAWA -- Mika Zibanejad has no intention of taking anything for granted. The Ottawa Senators recalled the 20-year-old from Binghamton of the American Hockey League Tuesday and he knows he has a lot to prove if he intends on staying in Ottawa. Zibanejad had been expected to make the team out of camp, but after failing to live up to expectations was returned to the AHL. The demotion was surprising considering how well Zibanejad had played last season, but in some ways the Senators felt the young prospect allowed himself to become too complacent. At the end of training camp Senators general manager Bryan Murray said, "The other guys stepped up way above him in camp, and he didnt do anything about it." Zibanejad was told his level of play allowed two others players to steal his job. Harsh words, but they resonated with Zibanejad. "You dont want to take anything for granted, but I was hoping to build off the things I did last year and the season I came from," said Zibanejad. "To get that message and reaction from them was an eye-opener for me, but apparently it was a good thing and I feel like Im back on track and where Im supposed to be at so hopefully I can just keep going here." After being sent down Zibanejad was determined to prove he belonged in the NHL. "When something like that happens you want to prove them wrong, but I tried not to think about it too much. I thought about playing hard and doing the stuff they wanted me to work on. I hope I took it the right way." Through Binghamtons first six regular-season games Zibanejad has two goals and five assists to lead the team in scoring. Last season the 62", 211-pound native of Huddinge, Sweden, finished fourth among Senators in scoring with 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) in 42 regular-season games with Ottawa. "I had a pretty good talk with Luke (Richardson) when I got there the first day," said Zibanejad, referring to the former NHLer who now coaches Binghamton. "He understood the situation and he helped me a lot through this time and his message was to play and not worry about it too much. All I can control is my play and how I react to it and I think that helps a lot that you get that talk and that confidence from him." Zibanejad was recalled as a precaution as Jean-Gabriel Pageau has a minor injury and the Senators didnt want to find themselves short-handed as they prepare to face the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. It appears Zibanejad will centre the fourth line between Derek Grant and Erik Condra if line combinations from Tuesdays practice are any indication. While MacLean wouldnt confirm that Zibanejad would play Wednesday he did say they were considering it and when asked what the young centre needed to do to earn playing time MacLean was clear. "He has to play good," said MacLean. "We made the call down there and said whos the best player and they said it was Mika. Before that it was Derek Grant. Mikas been their best player and now we want him to come up and play with speed, play with energy, use his size and shoot the puck and just do the things that he does to be successful and if he does those things consistently he can stay in the lineup and ultimately in the National Hockey League." Zibanejad feels hes benefited from his time in Binghamton and is hopeful he can find similar success in the NHL. "I hope I built something down in Binghamton and I just have to keep building on it," said Zibanejad. "Keep shooting, keep skating and competing hard. I think that was the biggest message going down was compete and be hard on the puck and play like I can and I should and I think I did that and Im ready to take it to the next level."

What is most impressive to Bears coach Art Briles is how his team, without several key offensive players, responded after quickly facing its first double-digit deficit of the season. Baylor is still undefeated, with a chance to move into the top four of the BCS standings, after Bryce Petty again accounted for five touchdowns in a 63-34 victory Saturday night over Texas Tech. "When youre down 14-0, youre down 20-7, and then you withstand that surge against a good team and come back and finish the way we finished as a team, and to me, thats impressive," Briles said. "That shows you have a tough football team, a tough-minded football team thats mature and believes in whats happening inside the locker room." Petty threw three TD passes and ran for two scores for the second game in a row. His 31-yard pass to Antwan Goodley for a 31-yard score with 4 seconds in the first quarter made it 21-20, putting Baylor (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) ahead to stay. Goodleys Big 12-best 11th TD catch came immediately after K.J. Morton intercepted a pass. The Bears stretched their school-record winning streak to 13 games. They are the outright Big 12 leader after No. 23 Texas absorbed its first conference loss earlier in the day, and are one of six undefeated FBS teams. "Tonight showed us a lot. Were a resilient team," said Petty, who was 17-of-31 passing for 335 yards. "I think theres a lot of talent involved, but we have a lot of guys that work hard. And thats what youve got to have. Its more than just talent. Youve got to have those guys that are going to push through a little adversity." Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4), which scored touchdowns on its first three drives and led 14-0 only 8 minutes into the game, lost its fourth straight since a 7-0 start for first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury. "We knew that they were going to score. They scored on everybody," Kingsbury said. "Its a great offence, it really is. ... The quarterback is really good and receivers everywhere. We knew theyd score. We just had to limit it and limit our mistakes, and we didnt do that." Kingsbury was the starting quarterback at Texas Tech when Briles was an assistant coach there from 2000-02. Baylor played its first game since Briles this week got a new 10-year contract through the 2023 season. The coach is in his sixth seasson with the Bears, who had 12 consecutive losing seasons since the inception of the Big 12 when he arrived.dddddddddddd Next week, the Bears play at No. 12 Oklahoma State (9-1, 6-1), which won 38-13 at Texas hours earlier. Baylor was fifth in the BCS standings last week, behind Stanford -- which lost for the second time this season, 20-17 to Southern California on Saturday night. The Bears played without their top two running backs, Big 12 rushing leader Lache Seastrunk (groin) and Glasco Martin (knee), and 103-yard-a-game receiver Tevin Reese. All got banged up in the Bears 41-12 win over Oklahoma nine nights earlier, Reese the most serious with a dislocated right wrist that required surgery and will force him to miss at least the rest of the regular season. And they still surpassed their FBS-best scoring average of 61 points that was already on pace to break a major college scoring record. They had 675 total yards, only 11 below their nations best average. Shock Linwood, effectively the Bears third-string running back, ran 29 times for 187 yards and a touchdown while Devin Chafin, another redshirt freshman, had 11 carries for 100 yards and two TDs. Levi Norwood had TD catches of 40 and 58 yards, and also returned a punt 58 yards for a score that cut the gap to 20-14. Linwood had 182 yards after coming in against Oklahoma and was the Big 12 player of the week. "I believe it gave me confidence for me to go out there and perform like I did," Linwood said. Baker Mayfield, Techs starting quarterback for the first time since the fifth game, completed 28 of 51 passes for 314 yards and four touchdowns. His only pick came when he threw a pass right into the chest of the leaping Morton. Bears kicker Aaron Jones became the NCAA career leader for extra points with nine more, pushing his career mark to 260. The previous record was the 253 by Art Carmody of Louisville from 2004-07. Standout tight end Jace Amaro had touchdown catches on the Red Raiders first two drives. There was a 6-yard TD on a halfback pass from Kenny Williams on the 15th play of a game-opening 75-yard drive before Amaro got wide open for a 20-yard score from Mayfield the next time they had the ball. Amaro took a crushing hit from Ahmad Dixon while holding on for an 18-yard catch to the 4, two plays before Mayfields 3-yard TD to Jakeem Grant with 4:28 left in the first half got the Red Raiders within 28-27.
