DETROIT -- The Detroit Pistons have agreed to deals with free agents Caron Butler and D. Kevin Garnett Jersey .J. Augustin, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday night because the team has not announced the deals. The team is set to pay Butler $4.5 million next season, with an option for 2015-16. Augustin will make $6 million over two years. Detroit has missed the playoffs the last five seasons, and the Pistons recently hired Stan Van Gundy as their new coach and team president. The first order of business this off-season has been to add some perimeter help for the teams imposing set of big men. The 6-foot-7 Butler played 56 games last season for Milwaukee and Oklahoma City, averaging 10.5 points and shooting 39 per cent from 3-point range. Augustin was waived by Toronto early last season, but the 26-year-old point guard caught on with Chicago after that and ended up averaging 13.1 points for the season. He shot 40 per cent from beyond the arc. The Pistons have also agreed to terms with Jodie Meeks, who shot 40 per cent from 3-point range with the Los Angeles Lakers last season. Only one Detroit player in 2013-14 -- Kyle Singler -- shot over 34 per cent from 3-point range while playing major minutes. The Pistons were unable to take advantage of big men Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith because of the teams inability to produce outside the paint. Monroe is a restricted free agent, but if he comes back, Detroit would still have an imposing frontcourt. The Pistons now have more options on the perimeter as well, with Meeks, Butler and Augustin joining holdovers Singler, Brandon Jennings, Will Bynum and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. The Bolts havent lost on the road since dropping a 3-0 decision at New Jersey on Dec. 14. The Oilers, who are last in the Western Conference with 31 points, enter Sunday having lost four straight and 10 of their last 12 games. The club has allowed a total of 18 goals over its last four outings and Edmonton has surrendered five markers in each of its past two trips to the ice. After losing at San Jose by a 5-1 count on Thursday, the Oilers dropped a 5-2 decision the following night in Anaheim. Ben Lovejoy notched his first career two-goal effort to lead the Ducks, who overcame an early 2-1 deficit to breeze past the Oilers at Honda Center. Boyd Gordon and Nail Yakupov had first-period goals for Edmonton and Ilya Bryzgalov recorded 32 saves in the loss. The Oilers led 2-1 after Yakupov recorded his eighth goal of the season with 8:54 left in the opening period. However, Lovejoy scored twice in the final 2:48 of the period to give Anaheim the lead for good. "It was a little stunning behind the bench. It was great to get that first one and for them to come right back the way they did, it took the wind out of our sails a little bit. It was a bit of a crazy period, back and forth," said Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. Edmonton is back home after going 0-2-11 on a recent three-game road trip, but the Oilers have lost three of their last four tilts as the host. Dana Barros Jersey. Tonights test marks the start of a three-game homestand for the Oilers, who are just 6-11-2 in front of the home crowd this season. Tampa won for the seventh time in nine games overall by blanking the Calgary Flames by a 2-0 score on Friday. Ben Bishop stopped 19 shots for his fourth shutout of the season, tying him with Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins for the NHL lead. Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov scored for the Lightning, and Palat extended his point streak to a career-best five games. "I feel like every game, my confidence is getting better," Palat said. "Maybe its because I play with Marty (St. Louis) and Johnny (Tyler Johnson)." Bishop is expected to get the start on Sunday and he is 2-0 with a 1.00 goals against average in his career against Edmonton. The American netminder helped Tampa beat a visiting Oilers club by a 4-2 score on Nov. 7 and Bishop also notched a shutout in Edmonton on Feb. 25, 2011, when he was a member of the St. Louis Blues. Tampa has won two straight and six of its last nine meetings with the Oilers, but Edmonton has claimed two in a row and four of the last six encounters in Alberta. The Lightning are scheduled to close their road trip Tuesday evening in Winnipeg. Tampa Bay could have defenceman Sami Salo back in the lineup on Sunday after he sat out the last four games due to an upper-body injury. Salo has one goal and six assists in 34 tests for Tampa this season. ' ' '
