Leicester kick-started their European Champions Cup campaign and continued an impressive Welford Road record against French opposition by beating last seasons runners-up Racing 92.The Tigers knew they had to roar following a 42-13 drubbing by Pool One rivals Glasgow nine days ago - or face having their quarter-final hopes hanging by a thread.And even though it was far from pretty, they delivered after flanker Brendon OConnor scored an early try, before two Owen Williams penalties and then 16 points from second-half substitute Freddie Burns saw Leicester home 27-17.Burns booted three penalties, then he claimed a 70-metre interception try after collecting Maxime Machenauds pass to Chris Masoe, before converting the clincher as Leicester avenged a Champions Cup semi-final loss to Racing six months ago.New Zealand superstar Dan Carter scored 12 of Racings points through a try, two conversions and a penalty, while wing Juan Imhoff touched down five minutes from time, yet the reigning Top 14 champions never got going as Leicester made it 15 games unbeaten against French opponents at Welford Road since Biarritz beat them in January 2005.The Tigers have still got it all to do in a group that also includes Munster, and their December back-to-back meetings with the Irish province could prove pivotal.It was not all trouble-free for Leicester though, and there was a long delay near the end when full-back Telusa Veainu went down injured following an attempted tackle on Racing lock Francois van der Merwe before being carried off.Leicester handed a home debut to Australia Test centre Matt Toomua, while prop Marcos Ayerza and lock Ed Slater returned up-front. South Africa international wing JP Pietersen also made the starting line-up after missing the Tigers last three games.Carter, Imhoff and Joe Rokocoko all featured for Racing, whose scheduled opening Champions Cup game against Munster in Paris last weekend was postponed following the death of Munster head coach Anthony Foley.The trio were cleared of anti-doping breaches by the French Rugby Federation earlier this week after tests conducted following the Top 14 final victory over Toulon in Barcelona four months ago.But Carter had barely touched the ball before Leicester struck in impressive fashion with a fourth-minute try after securing close-range lineout possession and then shipping the ball wide, patiently going through-phase play before scrum-half Ben Youngs found an unmarked OConnor, who touched down wide out.Carter then opened Racings account through an eighth-minute penalty following an infringement by Leicester lock Dom Barrow, whose afternoon lasted only 10 more minutes before he went off following a clash of heads with his team-mate Dan Cole.Racing had their moments in attack, but were flustered by a combination of poor handling and aggressive Leicester defence, and the Tigers punished them through two Williams penalties during the second quarter, although not before Toomua departed injured.The games scrappy nature did not worry Leicester, with the result far outweighing performance following their capitulation at Glasgow nine days ago, but they allowed Racing back in by conceding a soft try just nine minutes after the restart.Carter scored it, courtesy of throwing two dummy passes and executing a hand-off on Youngs, yet Leicester were guilty of wafer-thin defending as they allowed the World Cup winner a ludicrously easy run.Carters conversion cut the deficit to a point, but then it became the Burns show as he kicked two penalties and converted his try for 13 points in six minutes, and Racing were finished, despite a late Imhoff touchdown that Carter converted, before Burns 77th-minute penalty sealed the deal.

OTTAWA -- For what its worth, the Arizona Coyotes will have the advantage of being the more rested team when they take on the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre Tuesday night.The Coyotes, who will be playing just their second game of the season after opening with an overtime victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on home ice Saturday, were kicked back in their Ottawa hotels while the Senators were getting crunched 5-1 in Detroit on Monday.The game in Ottawa marks the first of six in a row on the road, within a 10-day span, for the Coyotes. All in the Eastern time zone.I think its great for our team to get on the road, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett told the Arizona Republican. Well see what were made of early.That would be plenty of youth, for starters. The Coyotes dressed four rookies against the Flyers, including winger Lawson Crouse, defenseman Jakob Chychrun and centers Laurent Dauphin and Christian Dvorak. A fifth freshman, 2015 third overall pick Dylan Strome, was a healthy scratch Saturday and could be making his debut against the Senators.Were going into some buildings where were not going to have time to be young and inexperienced, said Tippett, whose team will also make stops in Montreal, New York for both the Islanders and the Rangers, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Were going to have to dig right in.The Senators, meanwhile, will attempt to bounce right back from suffering their first defeat. After openning the season with an overtime win and a shootout win at home, they outshot the Red Wings 32-25 but had only a shorthanded goal by winger Ryan Dzingel to show for their efforts.dddddddddddd.It was the second in two games for Dzingel, who played 30 games for Ottawa as a rookie last season and was then was the surprise of camp for new coach Guy Boucher.We werent competing, Boucher said of the teams effort at The Joe. And thats what you deserve when you dont compete.While the Coyotes are expected to start No. 1 goalie Mike Smith, the Senators will go back to their starter, Craig Anderson. Backup Andrew Hammond played in Detroit and gave up a bad goal, the first of a hat trick by defensemen Mike Green, that opened the flood gates for the Red Wings. Their outburst saw them score three times in a 5:34 spread to take a comfortable lead into the intermission.Youre asking for trouble when you react like that after a goal, said Boucher, whose power play was 0-for-3 and is now 0-for-9 on the season. Were getting good shots but were not screening the goalie. Hes making good saves because he can see the puck.The Senators will try to change that against the Coyotes.We know the mistakes we made, said Senators defenseman Dion Phaneuf. Weve got an important game (Tuesday) and its about responding. ' ' '
