SYDNEY -- Andreas Mikkelsen held off Sebastien Ogier to win the Rally of Australia by 14.9 seconds on Sunday, giving Volkswagen a victory in its final race in the World Rally Championship.Norways Mikkelsen started the final day of the rally with a narrow two-second lead over his Volkswagen teammate, who was recently crowned the world drivers champion for the fourth straight year.Ogier closed the gap to just 0.3 seconds at the midpoint of the dusty Bucca stage, the second of five stages on the final day. But the Frenchman then spun his Volkswagon Rolo R near the finish and completed the stage 19.6 seconds slower than Mikkelsen, giving the Norwegian a commanding overall lead.Mikkelsen began the rally in third place in the drivers standings behind Ogier and Belgiums Thierry Neuville, hoping a win would lift him into second place and give Volkswagen its fourth consecutive one-two finish in its final championship. The company has said it will not compete in WRC again after this season.But Neuville, driving a Hyundai, finished the race in third place, ensuring hed remain in second overall in the drivers standings.The plan was to try and win the power stage because I would like to try and beat Thierry for that second place, but Im still happy about this, Mikkelsen said. Its been such a perfect end to the season ... Its just sad to see this team and the car come to an end. I will miss them.Ogier and Mikkelsen now find themselves looking for new cars for next season, likely putting pressure on drivers on other teams.Mikkelsen dominated Volkswagons final rally, leading after all but one stage and overcoming a bizarre incident on the second day when his clutch and brake pedal became wedged together.The race was also delayed on the 21st stage for almost a half hour when Eric Camilli rolled his Ford onto its roof, causing a fire to break out in the car. He retired from the stage but appeared unhurt.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Lightning are not exactly limping home following a successful five-game road trip.But that doesnt mean they dont have wounds to heal before hosting a Philadelphia Flyers team arriving at Amalie Arena with some injuries of their own.Tampa Bay returns home after collecting eight of 10 points on the road, but the Lightning lost captain Steven Stamkos for four months to a knee injury along the way. Tampa Bay is also missing top defenseman Anton Stralman, who has missed five games with an undisclosed upper-body injury suffered on Nov. 12 against San Jose.Though Jonathan Drouin returned to the lineup, the effects of those missing and those playing through injuries -- Brian Boyle and Valtteri Filppula have also missed games -- is taking a toll that was evident in a loss to Nashville on Monday.We just looked like a tired group, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. That was a winnable hockey game for us, and we let it slip. We have to regroup for Wednesday.Boyle said the lack of the right energy was noticeable.We had the speed that we normally would play with, but were not working hard enough, he said. Thats on us. We have to be way better. Its an easy game if a team isnt pressuring you, not being on top of you, not hitting you. We just werent skating ourselves into position.Though Stralmans status has remained day-to-day, he skated with the team for the first time during Mondays morning skate, although he was wearing a designated no-contact red jersey.One player the Flyers know they will be missing iis center Sean Couturier, who left Tuesdays 3-1 victory at Florida following a collision with Vincent Trocheck in the second period.dddddddddddd Couturier had to be helped off the ice and was unable to put any weight on his left leg.The team reported that Couturier was being sent back to Philadelphia for further evaluation and is ruled out for Wednesdays game against Tampa Bay. Both the Philadelphia Inquirer and CSN Philadelphia reported the injury was a knee strain and the evaluation was to determine if surgery was required.It looked like (Couturier) got tangled up. I heard him yelling there, Mason told the Inquirer. He was obviously in some pain.Mason, meanwhile, earned first star honors for the victory at Florida, making 38 saves in his fourth consecutive start, which included Saturdays loss to the Lightning in Philadelphia. With backup Michal Nuervirth out of the lineup and rookie Anthony Stolarz yet to make his NHL debut, Masons performance on Tuesday could land him another start despite playing on consecutive nights.He was the best player on the ice, winger Dale Weise, who scored his first goal in 16 games, told the Inquirer of Mason.But Mason deferred any credit directed his way.It was a real strong game from the whole team, he said. Im going to point to the guys out front. They did a great job of moving bodies and giving me a good lane to the point shots and the shots from the outside. ' ' '
