ANAHEIM Bo Scarbrough Jersey Cowboys , Calif. (AP) The Anaheim Ducks will have plenty of reasons to be proud of their yearlong resilience and late-season determination to make the playoffs after an incredible stretch of early-season injury woes.

They’ll also have plenty of time to reflect on those achievements during an extra-long summer for a team that couldn’t put it together in the postseason.

The Ducks began the process of breaking up for the offseason this weekend after the San Jose Sharks completed a four-game sweep of their first-round series.

”There’s a numbness that’s kind of subsiding now,” coach Randy Carlyle said. ”After the run and the season-long trials and tribulations that you go through, you get to the playoffs and win out and get second place in the division, and four games later, a week later, you’re out of it, which is really numbing.”

Anaheim had made the Western Conference finals in two of the previous three seasons, and its six consecutive playoff berths constitute the second-longest active streak in the NHL. The Ducks finished with their fifth consecutive 100-point season – the league’s longest active streak – and went 10-1-1 with five straight victories to close the regular season, even surging into second place in the Pacific Division.

But the Ducks’ streak of five straight Pacific titles ended Youth Mike White Jersey , and then their season ended in embarrassing fashion.

The Ducks made the playoffs for the 11th time in 13 seasons, but perhaps they simply ran out of steam. Their mad dash to reach the postseason was necessitated by the slow start caused by the club’s numerous injury problems during the first half. Their top two centers – Ryan Kesler and Ryan Getzlaf – missed huge chunks of early play, while goal-scoring forward Patrick Eaves never suited up all year because of Guillain-Barre syndrome.

”The adversity that we faced this year was unlike anything I’ve ever seen, especially at the start of the year,” said top defenseman Cam Fowler, who missed the playoffs with a shoulder injury. ”We grinded it out, and to get to the 100-point mark was fantastic. But at the end of the day, you have to make a name for yourself come playoff time, and unfortunately we didn’t do that this year.”

Once the Ducks get over the hurt Youth Tyquan Lewis Jersey , they’ll evaluate the core of talent that remains in Anaheim after years of contention. General manager Bob Murray will have to decide whether that core is championship-caliber when healthy or whether it’s time to break up one of the NHL’s most consistent winners.

Here are more things to know as the Ducks head into a long offseason:

MORE SPEED

Murray is among the observers who think the Ducks simply don’t play fast enough to compete optimally in the modern NHL. The Ducks’ heavy, punishing style of play under Carlyle has won plenty of games over the past two years, but it wasn’t enough to keep them in a series with the Sharks, who aren’t even the fastest team around. Carlyle will be back next season to make the necessary changes, Murray confirmed. How much of the Ducks’ core returns will be up to Murray, who has built and rebuilt the franchise around Getzlaf and Corey Perry, who will both turn 33 next month.

BEAUCH BYE

Defenseman Francois Beauchemin says he is retiring after spending the past 13 seasons in the NHL, including three separate stints with Anaheim. His departure removes another link to the Ducks’ championship season, although Getzlaf Youth Lamar Jackson Jersey , Perry and Carlyle are still around.

BIEKSA NOT BACK

Veteran defenseman Kevin Bieksa also indicated he is unlikely to return after three seasons. He was disappointed with his lack of playoff action after returning from hand surgery. The Ducks’ once-incredible depth on defense has been taxed in the past year with the expansion draft-related departures of Shea Theodore and Clayton Stoner and the trade of Sami Vatanen to New Jersey for Adam Henrique. Murray will need to reload the Ducks’ blue line, with prospects Jacob Larsson, Marcus Pettersson and Andy Welinski likely getting shots at a full-time job.

EAVES RETURN

The season-long loss of Eaves was a huge setback, but the Ducks are optimistic their heavily bearded forward will return in the fall. Eaves also had recent shoulder surgery and will turn 34 next month, but he has been the type of consistent goal scorer the Ducks lacked. He would also provide veteran leadership after the possible departures of Beauchemin, Bieksa, Antoine Vermette, Jason Chimera and others.

OFFSEASON LISTS

Most of the Ducks’ core is locked up through next season or beyond, including Getzlaf Justin Bethel Jersey Falcons , Perry, Kesler, leading scorer Rickard Rakell, Andrew Cogliano, Fowler and defensemen Hampus Lindholm and Josh Manson. Anaheim has several key restricted free agents: Nick Ritchie, 20-goal scorer Ondrej Kase and defensemen Brandon Montour and Welinski.

ANAHEIM Authentic Sebastian Janikowski Jersey , Calif. (AP) Ryan Miller couldn’t help but crack a smile when remembering the mess the Anaheim Ducks found themselves in.

After two Ducks players put the puck over the glass on back-to-back plays while already on the penalty kill in the third period, Miller just dug in and helped drag Anaheim to its longest winning streak of the season.

Miller stopped 41 shots for his 42nd career shutout as the Ducks beat the Dallas Stars 2-0 Wednesday night for their fourth straight win.
Article continues below ...
”We can laugh about it now, but when you watch those two float out of the rink you get a little anxious,” said Miller Authentic Ryan Getzlaf Jersey , who picked up his third shutout of the season.

Ryan Getzlaf scored short-handed and Hampus Lindholm had a power-play goal for the Ducks, who took sole possession of third place in the Pacific Division.

It was the Ducks’ second straight shutout, after Miller came on for the third period in relief of an injured John Gibson in a 2-0 win at Vegas on Monday.

Miller made 20 saves against the Golden Knights and picked up where he left off with an early stop on Mattias Janmark’s backhand. It wasn’t until Getzlaf and Josh Manson each took delay-of-game penalties following a slashing call on Cam Fowler that the veteran goalie showed how locked in he was by turning away dangerous shots by Jamie Benn and Jason Spezza in succession.

”It was a pivotal point in the game, definitely Authentic Bob Uecker Jersey ,” Miller said. ”I just told myself get one at a time and see what we can do.”

Miller stopped seven shots during the 5-on-3, setting the stage for the Ducks to make it 2-0 at 4:28 of the third on Getzlaf’s eighth career short-handed goal.

Getzlaf left the penalty box and was on the receiving end of a long pass from Francois Beauchemin. Ben Bishop came out of his crease to play the bouncing puck but Getzlaf chipped it over him before the goaltender could knock it away. The Ducks’ captain then composed himself and scored into an open goal for his 11th multi-point game.

”Get there faster than (Bishop),” Getzlaf said of his mindset during the sequence. ”I just noticed that their D-men had been out there a long time so they were probably going to change thinking I was going off. Clearly, I was fresh.”

Lindholm gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead with 6:45 left in the first Cheap Joseph Noteboom Jersey , barreling in to bury the rebound of Getzlaf’s shot into an open net for his third power-play goal of the season. It was Lindholm’s 38th career goal, breaking a tie with Fredrik Olausson for fifth place in franchise history for the most by a defenseman.

”I think we did a lot of good things tonight, but just couldn’t win the special teams,” said Bishop Wholesale Breeland Speaks Jersey , who made 15 saves.

The Ducks entered the game tied with the Los Angeles Kings for third place in the Pacific Division, and the Stars are in third in the Central Division. Not surprisingly, there was playoff intensity and caginess at the start. The Ducks went into the power play where Lindholm scored with two shots on goal and got two in eight seconds with the man-advantage, their only four shots in the period.

The game also ended on a playoff-like note DJ Moore Jersey Elite , with Benn and Corey Perry fighting while teammates on both sides jawed and postured.

Miller wants the Ducks to maintain that feisty play and spirit.

”We recognize where the season is at,” Miller said. ”We’ve built a good game. We have to stick with it.”

NOTES: Stars C Martin Hanzal left after the first period and did not return with a lower-body injury. … The Ducks have won four in a row at home against the Stars. Anaheim hosts Dallas on April 7 to close out the regular season. … Kari Lehtonen will start in goal for the Stars against the Kings in the second game of a back-to-back on Thursday night.

ENGLEWOOD Cheap Tracy Walker Jersey , Colo. (AP) The Denver Broncos promoted linebacker Kevin Snyder to their active roster Saturday with second-leading tackler Todd Davis nursing a high ankle sprain.

Davis is listed as questionable for Monday night when the Broncos (3-3) visit the Kansas City Chiefs (5-2). He missed practice all week.

To make room for Snyder, the Broncos waived wide receiver Hunter Sharp, who they recently signed because of a rash of injuries at the position. Cody Latimer (knee) is set to make his return from a monthlong absence with a knee injury Authentic Kemoko Turay Jersey , however, and Emmanuel Sanders is as possibility to play despite missing a second week of practice with a sprained right ankle.
Article continues below ...
”We’ll see how he feels on game day,” coach Vance Joseph said.

Snyder spent some time on New England’s roster as a rookie in 2015 and was on Denver’s practice squad last December. He also played in all four of the Broncos’ preseason games this year.

Also questionable for the Chiefs game are defensive end Derek Wolfe (finger Authentic Kyle Lauletta Jersey , foot), who returned to practice Saturday, and tight end Virgil Green (shoulder) Wholesale Derwin James Jersey , who practiced all week.

Swing tackle Donald Stephenson (calf) was ruled out for the second straight game.

With Menelik Watson (calf) returning at right tackle, Allen Barbre goes back to left guard.

The Broncos get a boost with the return of pass rusher Shane Ray from a broken wrist, but rookie tight end Jake Butt won’t make his debut against the Chiefs.

After running routes last week Authentic Kenny Young Jersey , Butt was limited to individual work this week as he makes his way back from a knee injury in his final game at Michigan, which dropped him from a first-round prospect to the fifth round.

”I think Jake’s getting closer. He hasn’t played football since his bowl game, the Orange Bowl against Florida State http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/josh-sweat-jersey ,” Joseph said. ”That’s tough for a guy to go from rehabbing for almost six or seven months to playing in an NFL game. … We have more time with him so we’ll see where he’s at next week.”

The Colorado Avalanche have a Filip Forsberg problem Vita Vea Super Bowl LI Jersey , and unless they can somehow make it go away in the next four to six games, their season will go away.

Forsberg scored two goals in the third period Thursday night to snap a tie and lift the Nashville Predators to their 11th straight win over Colorado, a 5-2 decision that gave them a 1-0 lead in a best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinal.

If the Avalanche are to win Game 2 on Saturday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., they have to figure out a plan to neutralize Forsberg Logan Cooke Super Bowl LI Jersey , who in 21 career games has lit them up for 15 goals and 11 assists.
Article continues below ...
Goal number 15, an unassisted effort at 12:10 of the third period Thursday evening which saw Forsberg totally undress former Predator Samuel Girard by dangling the puck between his legs before flicking a wrister by Jonathan Bernier, was trending late Thursday night and Friday morning on social media.

“That was unbelievable,” Nashville forward Austin Watson said of Forsberg’s marker. “I don’t know if you guys panned over to the bench, but all of our jaws dropped. He thinks of doing things out there that wouldn’t even happen in my dreams.”

As Forsberg continues to gain experience and combine it with his abundant skills http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/barkevious-mingo-jersey , he’s becoming the Predators’ figurative X button. Press it, and you gain separation from any opponent, even one like Colorado that was every bit Nashville’s equal for about 2 1/2 periods Thursday night.

The Avalanche’s speed and aggression made them a worthy foe. They led for most of the first 30 minutes and were never truly out of it until a power play after Forsberg’s second goal failed. But at the same time, what Forsberg did is a reminder of why the Predators are the top seed and why Colorado is a heavy underdog.

“It shows us we’re right there with them,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “I think the first two periods we outplayed them for big parts of it. We’ve got a big one here on Saturday. We’re going to try to steal that one and get them back to the Pepsi Center where we’re really good.”

In order to return to Denver with a split Authentic Brian Roberts Jersey , Colorado will have to improve on special teams. It failed on three power-play chances, including a brief 5-on-3 late in the first period, as Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne came up with some clutch stops.

The Predators also needed just 10 seconds to score on their first man advantage, Craig Smith erasing the Avalanche’s last lead at 8:50 of the second period. It’s those types of quick turnarounds that marked Nashville’s run to the Stanley Cup Finals last spring.

Most importantly, Colorado has to keep Forsberg from finding open space and getting on the scoresheet. As recent history shows Jeremiah Attaochu Jersey Elite , that’s a lot easier said than done, especially on his second tally.

“I always feel like he’s at his best when he’s a power forward first,” Predators coach Peter Laviolette said of Forsberg. “Then he brings his skill element into it, and that’s exactly what he did on that goal.”

ST. PAUL Wholesale Rick Leonard Jersey , Minn. (AP) Mikael Granlund helped the Minnesota Wild get a big win over a division foe.

He scored the tiebreaking goal in the second period and the Wild beat the Dallas Stars 4-2 on Wednesday night.

Jared Spurgeon, Eric Staal and Jason Zucker also scored for Minnesota, which won for just the second time in six games. Charlie Coyle had two assists and Alex Stalock made 24 saves.
Article continues below ...
Leading by one until Zucker’s empty-net goal in the final minute, Minnesota limited Dallas to six shots in the final 20 minutes.

”I think it’s huge against a team like that, a team that was ahead of us in the standings, a big game anytime you’re playing against a division opponent and keeping it a two-point game instead of a three-point game is obviously a lot better Authentic Nomar Garciaparra Jersey ,” Stalock said.

Minnesota entered the game having allowed 50 third-period goals, second-most in the league.

”Well, I think the players also know that it’s been a chore. They were mad at that. … I thought we had probably our best third period in a while,” said coach Bruce Boudreau.

Spurgeon said the Wild are learning to simply stay the course.

”I think in the past sometimes we sit back and try to defend. Today, we were going at them,” he said.

Tyler Seguin and Mattias Janmark scored for the Stars Cheap Kalen Ballage Jersey , now two points up on Minnesota for fourth place in the tight Central Division.

”This is a divisional team so it’s a huge two points,” said center Martin Hanzal. ”We weren’t ready and we weren’t good enough in the first and pretty much the whole game.”

With the Wild on the power play and the game tied 2-2, Granlund charged in from the left wall to put home a rebound after a redirect from Zucker was stopped by Ben Bishop at 13:08 of the second period.

”Hopefully we can play with the lead a little bit more here. It’s more fun,” said Granlund, who had a career-high 26 goals last year, has eight this season and only one in his previous 11 games.

It marked just the fourth time in 12 games Minnesota scored more than two goals.

Seguin’s fourth goal in three games – a redirect of an Esa Lindell shot – gave the Stars a 1-0 lead midway through the first period Authentic Danny Salazar Jersey , but Spurgeon tied the game by tapping in a cross-crease feed from Coyle with 40.4 seconds left in the frame.

Dallas lost for just the fifth time in 21 games when scoring first.

”We had a lot of momentum when we took the break, and obviously, with the show tonight, we’ve lost the momentum,” said Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock, whose team was 4-1-2 in its previous seven games.

Staal scored 5:12 into the second before Janmark scored on the power play.

Wednesday was a step forward for a pair of previously injured Wild players.

Goaltender Devan Dubnyk served as the team’s backup after missing six games with a lower body injury and left wing Zach Parise said after the team’s morning skate he is going to AHL Iowa for a rehab assignment Oren Burks Jersey Elite , although the team has not officially announced the move. The plan is for Parise, who had back surgery Oct. 24, to play Thursday in Iowa, return to Minnesota and decide the next step.

NOTES: Minnesota is 6-0-2 against Dallas since Jan. 9, 2016. . Jamie Benn assisted on Janmark’s goal to pass Sergei Zubov for second place in Dallas history with 550 career points. Mike Modano had 1,050. … Wild RW Nino Niederreiter missed his second game with a foot/ankle injury. … Boudreau coached his 800th career game. He is 477-232-91 in 11 NHL seasons http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/johnny-townsend-jersey , including stints with Washington and Anaheim. … To make room for Dubnyk, Minnesota reassigned G Steve Michalek to Iowa.

HOUSTON (AP) Rookie D’Onta Foreman had the best game of his young career on Sunday http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/saquon-barkley-jersey , running for two fourth-quarter touchdowns to help the Houston Texans to a win over the Arizona Cardinals.

But in a season of disappointment, that high was followed with another low as Foreman was carted off the field with an ankle injury after his second touchdown.

Foreman’s big day helped the Texans, who have already lost stars J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson to season-ending injuries, snap a three-game skid with the 31-21 victory.
Article continues below ...
”It was a bittersweet day,” Foreman said, adding that he didn’t yet know how serious his injury was.

The Texans (4-6) went on top when Foreman scored his first career touchdown on a 3-yard run early in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals were stopped for a loss on a fourth-and-1 later in the fourth. Coach Bruce Arians said he regretted not punting on that play.

”Very simple – I cost our team the game … when you can’t gain a foot Authentic Manny Ramirez Jersey , you deserve to lose, especially if you make the decision I made and the play I called,” he said. ”There’s your headline, you can write it.”

Foreman dashed 34 yards on the next play to push the lead to 31-21 with about six minutes left.

”I just wanted to get something started,” Foreman said. ”I felt like in … the first half I didn’t really play like I wanted to play and I knew in the second half I just had to go out there and try to make some plays and try to help us win the game and I feel like I did that.”

Foreman was injured on the play, falling to the ground in the end zone. He appeared to be in a lot of pain as he reached for his ankle. He was looked at on the field for a few minutes before he was helped to the cart and taken off the field as the crowd chanted: ”Foreman Authentic Sergei Bobrovsky Jersey , Foreman.”

Blaine Gabbert threw for 257 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in his first start of the season with Drew Stanton dealing with a sprained knee and Carson Palmer out for the season with a broken arm. But Gabbert threw interceptions on consecutive drives in the fourth quarter to seal Arizona’s fate.

The Texans won despite two turnovers by Tom Savage, who has lost six fumbles and thrown three interceptions in just four starts this season. He finished 22 of 32 for 230 yards and two touchdowns in his third start since Deshaun Watson was injured.

Rookie Ricky Seals-Jones, who didn’t have a catch entering Sunday, finished with 54 yards receiving and two touchdowns for the Cardinals (4-6). Seals-Jones, who is from nearby Sealy, Texas Adidas Jeff Skinner Jersey , added his second touchdown on a 28-yard grab to make it 21-17 with about five minutes left in the third quarter.

”Ricky has been really impressive in practice against our defense,” Arians said. ”We put some plays in for him, and he responded well.”

Houston took a 17-14 lead when the team opened the second half with a drive capped by a 28-yard touchdown reception by DeAndre Hopkins. He grabbed a 34-yard pass on third-and-8 on the play before to keep the drive going.

The Texans took a 7-0 lead when Lamar Miller grabbed a 7-yard pass from Savage before falling out of bounds early in the second quarter. Miller, a sprinter at Miami, then started a relay baton celebration where he ran before pretending to hand off to Hopkins, who passed it on to Braxton Miller http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/nathan-shepherd-jersey , who finished the bit by handing it off to Bruce Ellington.

Savage was sacked by rookie Budda Baker later in the second quarter and fumbled. Baker recovered the ball to give Arizona possession at the Houston 17.

Two plays later, Gabbert connected with Larry Fitzgerald on the 20-yard touchdown pass to tie it at 7-7. Fitzgerald passed Tony Gonzalez (15,127) for the fifth-most receiving yards in NFL history on that play and ended the day with 91 yards receiving to give him 15,157 yards.

Patrick Peterson intercepted Savage and returned it 22 yards late in the third quarter to give Arizona great field position again. This time Gabbert found Seals-Jones on an 11-yard TD pass to put the Cardinals up 14-7.

The Texans added a 34-yard field goal late in the second quarter to cut the lead to 14-10 at halftime.

INJURY UPDATE

Houston CB Kevin Johnson left the game in the fourth quarter after sustaining a concussion.

DRE DAY

Houston inducted Andre Johnson as the inaugural member of the Texans Ring of Honor on Sunday. Johnson spent 12 seasons in Houston and is the team’s leader in yards receiving (13,597), receptions (1 Authentic Phil Rizzuto Jersey ,012) and touchdown receptions (64). He was given a red jacket and feted with a halftime ceremony attended by dozens of former Texans.

Johnson said he never thought about the possibility of being honored like this when he was playing.

”I just wanted to come here and play. Just do things the right way,” he said. ”I just wanted to be a good football player.”

NEW YORK (AP) Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott was granted another legal reprieve Tuesday night in the running back’s fight to avoid a six-game suspension over domestic violence allegations.

A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking the league’s suspension Authentic Matt Adams Jersey , clearing Elliott to play Sunday at San Francisco.

U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty’s ruling comes five days after a federal appeals court overturned a Texas court’s injunction that had kept Elliott on the field.

Crotty granted the request for a temporary restraining order pending a hearing before the presiding judge, Katherine Polk Failla, who is on vacation. He ordered the league to appear before Failla by Oct. 30 to argue why the suspension should not be blocked until courts in New York and Texas can rule on challenges the players’ union brought against the suspension.

Elliott, last year’s NFL rushing leader as a rookie Adidas Nolan Patrick Jersey , was barred from the team’s facility Tuesday as players returned from their off week. The NFL placed him on the suspended list Friday, a day after the ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

CLEVELAND (AP) – Just five minutes into his Boston career, new Celtics star forward Gordon Hayward gruesomely broke his left ankle, an injury that may end his season.

Hayward Cheap John Franklin-Myers Jersey , who signed a four-year, $128 million free agent contract this summer, went up for an alley-oop pass midway through the first quarter and collided with LeBron James. Hayward’s leg twisted underneath him as he came back to the floor. The 27-year-old collapsed under the basket and looked in horror as his left foot was pointing outward.

He put his hands to his face and dropped back to the floor as a hush fell over the charged sellout crowd inside Quicken Loans Arena, which had come to boo Kyrie Irving in his return to Cleveland after being traded to Boston this summer.

Hayward’s new teammates huddled in prayer at their bench as a distressed James covered his mouth and several Cleveland players nearby looked away. Hayward had his leg placed in an air cast P.J.

COLUMBUS Cheap Danny Shelton Jersey , Ohio — The Dallas Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets meet for the second time this month Thursday night at Nationwide Arena.

Since the Stars were beaten 2-1 by the Blue Jackets in Dallas on Jan. 2, they’ve won four of five games, with a six-day break in the middle.

Dallas (26-17-3) won back-to-back games at the start of a four-game road trip this week, taking down the Boston Bruins 3-2 in overtime Monday night and the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Tuesday at the second night of a back-to-back.
Article continues below ...
“We’ve got confidence (now), that’s for sure,” Stars defenseman John Klingberg said.

The Blue Jackets (25-18-3) return from the NHL-mandated five-day break on a two-game losing streak, falling to two of the worst teams in the league. They lost 3-1 to the Sabres in Buffalo last Thursday and 5-2 at home to the Vancouver Canucks the following day.

In the Stars’ win at Detroit Authentic Kareem Martin Jersey , Jason Spezza bounced back from being a healthy scratch the night before to score two power-play goals, including the winner. Spezza had been struggling for several weeks but responded to the tough-love move made by Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock.

“Well, I was not happy about it and didn’t like the decision, but you have to get through that and just work, move forward,” Spezza said.

“Obviously, I haven’t produced what I wanted to Authentic Justin Verlander Jersey , but I think I can play a bigger role and, hopefully, this is a step towards getting there and getting confidence of (Hitchcock) and just me getting some momentum off this.”

Klingberg was happy to see Spezza have a big game after the benching.

“It’s huge, it’s really huge for us,” Klingberg said. “I don’t really know what to say, but I feel really happy about him getting back into the lineup and score like that. We all know how good he is and he responded really good to the scratch.”

Klingberg certainly hasn’t been slumping. He had two assists against the Red Wings to give him at least one point in eight consecutive games, the first Stars defenseman with a streak that long since Sergei Zubov in 2006.

Selected to play in the NHL All-Star Game later this month Uchenna Nwosu Super Bowl LI Jersey , Klingberg leads all defensemen in points by a wide margin with 43 in 46 games.

“I think I play a good all-around, and part of my game is scoring points, and I feel good and have good confidence,” Klingberg said.

The Blue Jackets, hit hard by injuries while going 4-5-1 in their last 10 games, made a move that they hope will help their depth. They picked up veteran Jussi Jokinen off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old Jokinen is expected to be slotted into the lineup right away. In 32 combined games this season for the Edmonton Oilers and the Kings, he has one goal and five assists.

Two seasons ago with the Florida Panthers Wholesale Dante Pettis Jersey , Jokinen produced 60 points.

“We’re doing this to get a guy who can step into our lineup right now,” Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. “We need players. We know very well he’s had a great career, and he can help us.”

Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella recalled having Jokinen on his team 10 years ago when they were both with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He said Jokinen might end up playing center in Columbus.

“Smart player, good teammate, has put up points in the National Hockey League,” Tortorella said. “I’m not sure what’s gone on the past year. He’s kind of bounced around a little bit. I asked him, when I talked to him this afternoon Bills Phillip Gaines Jersey , ‘Does he have any gas in the tank?’ He’s ready to play.”

The Blue Jackets officially added another player to their injury list on Wednesday. Forward Sonny Milano, who has eight goals and five assists in 35 games, is expected to be out 4-to-6 weeks with a torn oblique suffered in a Jan. 8 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

“I think he’s broken through,” Tortorella said of Milano. “Is he a full-fledged National Hockey Leaguer? He still has some work to do, with the consistency of everything, so it (stinks) that he gets hurt.”

Forward Tyler Motte was recalled from Cleveland of the American Hockey League to take Milano’s place on the roster.

Motte has three goals and four points in 29 games with the Blue Jackets this season.

DALLAS (AP) Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is denying a 2011 allegation of sexual assault after a weekly alternative newspaper in Oregon published details of a case that prosecutors didn’t pursue Authentic Michael Gallup Jersey , saying they didn’t believe there was evidence to support the claim.

The report in the Willamette Week in Portland, Oregon, came two weeks after a Sports Illustrated account that portrayed a hostile work environment for women in the front office of the Mavericks.

The woman claimed Cuban reached inside her pants and penetrated her vagina with his finger while they were taking a picture in a Portland nightclub. In an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday, Cuban wrote, ”It didn’t happen.”

In a report explaining why they weren’t pursuing the case, prosecutors wrote that ”there is no evidence to corroborate the complainant’s statement and there is evidence contradicting the claim.” The report also said the woman didn’t want to proceed with the allegation.

BASEBALL

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – The Arizona Diamondbacks are bringing back the bullpen cart.

The Diamondbacks announced the team will use an OnTrac bullpen cart to transport relief pitchers from both bullpens at Chase Field prior to entering a game.

The last known use of a motorized vehicle in Major League Baseball was in 1995 Nick Nelson Jersey Elite , when the Milwaukee Brewers used a motorcycle with a sidecar. Mike Fetters, Arizona’s bullpen coach, was the closer for the Brewers that season.

Baseball historians have tracked the use of bullpen carts to 1950, when the Cleveland Indians first used a ”little red wagon.” The first official use came in 1951 with the Chicago White Sox. The Kansas City A’s added one in 1955 and by the 1960s, the carts could be found across the majors and minors.

Five NFL players have been given the franchise tag, with only Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell getting the exclusive tag.

Bell, who has been adamant about not playing under the tag for a second straight season Authentic Danny Shelton Jersey , can’t negotiate with any other teams. Pittsburgh must offer him the average of the top five running backs’ salaries. Both sides plan to continue negotiating.

Also getting franchise tags were Miami wide receiver Jarvis Landry, Detroit defensive end Ezekiel Ansah, Dallas DE DeMarcus Lawrence, and Los Angeles Rams safety Lamarcus Joyner. They can talk with other teams, but their current team would get compensation if they leave.

The only player given the transition tag was Chicago cornerback Kyle Fuller.

MIAMI (AP) – Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross says he won’t force his players to stand for the national anthem, even though he believes kneeling is a counterproductive way to promote social justice.

Ross’ comments in a statement released by the Dolphins came after the New York Daily News reported that he said all of the team’s players will stand for the anthem in 2018. Ross was in New York on Monday to be honored by the Jackie Robinson Foundation and receive its ROBIE Lifetime Achievement Award.

”I have no intention of forcing our players to stand during the anthem, and I regret that my comments have been misconstrued Ronnie Harrison Jersey Elite ,” Ross said in his statement.

”I’ve shared my opinion with all our players: I’m passionate about the cause of social justice, and I feel that kneeling is an ineffective tactic that alienates more people than it enlists.”

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – A former on-air personality at ESPN has filed a lawsuit alleging she was subjected to sexual harassment at the cable television sports giant and then ostracized for complaining about it.

The lawsuit filed Sunday in federal court in Connecticut by Adrienne Lawrence describes an atmosphere in which male employees openly watch pornography on their computers and keep ”scorecards” naming female colleagues they are targeting for sex.

The network said in a statement that it investigated the allegations raised by Lawrence and they are without merit.

Lawrence, who served a fellowship at ESPN, said in the lawsuit that she was subjected to unwelcome advances from anchor John Buccigross. She says he sent her unsolicited shirtless photos and used inappropriate nicknames like ”doll” for her.

DOPING

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) – IAAF president Sebastian Coe says Russians could be stopped from competing as neutral athletes if the country fails to shows ”dramatic progress” in the fight against doping.

Russia has been suspended since 2015, when the World Anti-Doping Agency found evidence of widespread doping. The only Russians allowed to compete at IAAF events since then have been designated as neutral athletes.

Coe says ”unless dramatic progress is made we Ed Dickson Jersey Elite , and we genuinely hope it is being made, then we will have to review at our council meeting in July the status of the neutral competitors and the potential for the congress to decide upon the ultimate sanction, I guess, which is expulsion.”

Coe says the world needs to know Russian athletes are in a ”system of confidence and trust.”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Saints All-Pro defensive end Cameron Jordan grinned playfully as he glanced up at a bottle of red wine in the top shelf of his locker and asked if anyone knew Carolina quarterback Cam Newton’s address.

A bottle with the name ”Jordan” on the label – even if it isn’t made by the Saints star’s family – might be the last thing Newton wants right now.

Drew Brees and his receiving corps came through when Carolina stifled New Orleans’ prolific backfield Orlando Brown Jr. Super Bowl LI Jersey , and a relentless Jordan spearheaded a late defensive stand to seal a 31-26 an NFC wild-card round victory on Sunday.
Article continues below ...
”You can’t be more happy about the way we played in terms of how we finished the game,” Jordan said. ”We almost let them back in the game, but here I am standing as winner. Here I am, as a Cam Jordan, sending Cam Newton a bottle of Jordan wine.”

Brees passed for 376 yards and two touchdowns, but one more completion would have considerably lowered the stress level on the Saints’ sideline. Coach Sean Payton kept the offense on the field on fourth-and-short with two minutes remaining and Carolina out of timeouts, hoping for one more first down that would have allowed New Orleans to run out the clock.

But Brees couldn’t find an open receiver, was flushed out of the pocket and decided his best option was to throw it up for grabs. It was intercepted by safety Mike Adams Authentic Kalen Ballage Jersey , which turned out better for New Orleans than an incompletion because it meant the Panthers had to start from their own 31 instead of mid-field.

Still, Newton completed three straight passes to move the Panthers to the Saints 26-yard line with 58 seconds left before New Orleans’ resistance stiffened.

”I’m frustrated,” Newton said. ”I hate that I couldn’t do enough to get a win today for a lot of guys that I think so highly of.

”I just have to be better,” he added. ”I’m not going to take the cowardly way and point somebody else out.”

The comeback bid began to fizzle when Jordan induced an intentional grounding penalty on Newton, making it third-and-25 on the Saints 34 and a requiring 10-second runoff that left 20 seconds on the clock.

After an incompletion in the end zone, Vonn Bell sacked Newton on a safety blitz , ensuring the Saints (12-5) swept all three meetings with Carolina (11-6) this season, in addition to winning the first postseason game they’ve played in four seasons.

”The coaches wanted to get the ball out of the quarterback’s hands fast Wholesale Da'Ron Payne Jersey ,” Bell said. ”They dialed it up and I said, `Go make a play.”’

Brees’ touchdowns went for 80-yards to Ted Ginn and 9 yards to tight end Josh Hill. Fullback Zach line and running back Alvin Kamara each ran for short touchdowns, the latter set up by Michael Thomas’ 46-yard reception .

”What we’ve shown offensively is we have a lot of ways to be effective,” Brees said, mentioning clutch first-down catches by Brandon Coleman and Willie Snead in addition to the big plays by Ginn and Thomas. ”The ball was spread around quite a bit and guys were making plays when they had the chances.”

Thomas caught eight passes for 131 yards on a day when the Saints needed the passing game to compensate for a ground game that struggled to get going. Thomas said when he noticed the Panthers playing with one safety deep instead of their usual two, ”you’re licking your chops with a quarterback like Drew Brees and the talent we have. We knew what we had to do and it was on the receivers.”

Ginn, a former Panthers receiver, celebrated the sweep of his former team by holding up a broom in the locker room.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

Helped by the presence of tight end Greg Olsen – who did not play in the teams’ previous two meetings – Newton marched Carolina into Saints territory more often than not. But the Panthers stalled four times inside the New Orleans 25 in the first three quarters. They settled for four field goal attempts on those drives Authentic James Daniels Jersey , one of which kicker Graham Gano surprisingly missed from 25-yards.

Jordan called the Saints’ red-zone stops ”huge.”

”Had half of those been touchdowns, we’d be sitting in a different spot,” Jordan said.

KEY STATS

Olsen had eight catches for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Newton finished 24 of 40 passing for 349 yards and two touchdowns, including a 56-yard scoring strike to Christian McCaffrey that pulled the Panthers within a touchdown with 4:09 left.

Saints running backs Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara, who combined for more than 3,000 yards from scrimmage this season, were held to 68 total yards.

RUSHING THE PASSSER

Newton was sacked four times, once each by Bell Robert Griffin III Super Bowl LI Jersey , Jordan, Jonathan Freeney, and David Onyemata. The sack by Onyemata came as Newton tried to spin away from Tyeler Davison and slammed his head into Onyemata’s chest. Newton appeared to be checked for a concussion, but missed only one play before returning to the game on Carolina’s next possession

Newton sat on the field near the sideline after the play, and while a new NFL rule calls for players to be taken to the locker room to be evaluated for concussions if they appear to be struggling to stand, Newton said part of his helmet got pushed into his eyelid. Panthers coach Ron Rivera offered a similar explanation and added that Newton only sat down to give backup Derek Anderson more time to warm up.

The NFL said it planned to discuss the matter with the Panthers medical staff before commenting further.

SANTA CLARA Jihad Ward Super Bowl LI Jersey , Calif. (AP) If Ben McAdoo faced questions about his job security as coach of the New York Giants heading into the week, just imagine what it will be like following a loss to the previously winless San Francisco 49ers.

A disappointing season in New York may have hit a new low as the Giants were thoroughly beaten 31-21 on Sunday by a team that hadn’t even held a lead at any point in a game the previous five weeks.

”We’re not a good team right now,” linebacker Jonathan Casillas said. ”Not a good team right now. Hopefully we can go ahead and turn around to be competitive and compete. It’s sad that I’m sitting here talking about us competing in games instead of talking about winning but that’s the truth.”
Article continues below ...
It’s performances such as this that have raised questions about McAdoo’s future with the Giants (1-8), who came into the season with high expectations following a playoff berth last season.

McAdoo has been under fire after a report this past week from ESPN that quoted an anonymous player as saying the players have given up on the season and don’t view McAdoo as a leader.

The Giants have not fired a coach during the season since 1976 when Bill Arnsparger was let go after a 0-7 start and replaced by John McVay Connor Williams Super Bowl LI Jersey , who had more success as an executive who helped build the 49ers dynasty in the 1980s.

”That doesn’t have anything to do with anything,” McAdoo said of his job security. ”We have to find a way to win a game. We have to address what happened out here on the field today, take a look at the tape and be honest with each other.”

There won’t be a lot of good to see on this tape.

The defense was gashed by big plays through the air and on the ground, the Giants were barely able to touch rookie quarterback C.J. Beathard after he had been sacked 14 times in three starts. Eli Manning celebrated a milestone start by failing to lead the Giants (1-8) to a score in the second half until a garbage time touchdown long after the game had been decided.

Even the special teams had issues with Aldrick Rosas setting up a San Francisco field goal by sending the opening kick out of bounds and then missing a 34-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half.

”We got schooled Carlton Davis Jersey Elite ,” cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said. ”I did not see enough relentless play, attitude. You name it, I did not see it. Everything we should have done, I felt we did not do it.”

The Giants allowed Beathard to throw TD passes of 83 yards to Marquise Goodwin and 47 yards to Garrett Celek in the second quarter Wholesale Russell Bodine Jersey , and then gave up a 33-yard TD run by rookie Matt Breida in the fourth quarter.

Manning committed a key fumble with the Giants driving in the first half of his 208th consecutive start , tying brother Peyton for the second-longest streak by a quarterback in NFL history, trailing only Brett Favre’s 297.

Manning’s numbers looked good as he completed 28 of 37 passes for 273 yards and two TDs, but the offense generated only one first down on three drives in the second half when San Francisco expanded its lead from 17-13 to 31-13.

”We’re in this situation Wholesale Jason Sanders Jersey , we’re the reason we’re in it,” Manning said. ”So we just have to keep working, compete every week and expect to win every week.”

SAN JOSE Authentic Pernell McPhee Jersey , Calif. (AP) On a road trip where Washington struggled to generate any offense, Nicklas Backstrom’s goal was enough to send the Capitals home on a good note.

Philipp Grubauer made 24 saves for his fifth career shutout and Backstrom broke a scoreless tie late in the second period to help the Capitals salvage the final game of their California swing with a 2-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday.

”I just thought it was a pretty complete team effort,” coach Barry Trotz said. ”I would probably say the last seven, eight periods we played pretty well. We just didn’t get the results that we wanted in all three games here.”
Article continues below ...
Washington was outscored 7-1 in losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles to open the trip before a narrow win in San Jose moved the Capitals one point ahead of Pittsburgh for first place in the Metropolitan Division, pending the Penguins’ game in Toronto later.

Alex Ovechkin Authentic Darius Leonard Jersey , two goals short of 600 for Washington, was held scoreless for the third straight game. Marc-Edouard Vlasic thwarted one chance for Ovechkin to get goal No. 599 with a strong back check and goalie Martin Jones robbed Ovechkin on a partial breakaway midway through the third period to keep San Jose’s deficit at 1-0.

Lars Eller’s empty-net goal sealed the win for the Capitals.

The Sharks were unable to get anything past Grubauer and fell to 3-2 on their six-game homestand. San Jose failed on two power-play chances, falling to 1 for 32 with the man advantage over the past 14 games.

”We were one shot away from tying that game or maybe going the other way, but definitely that second period we didn’t have that push that we needed,” Sharks captain Joe Pavelski said.

Jones made 24 saves for the Sharks but couldn’t stop Backstrom’s one-timer late in the second period after Washington appeared to enter the zone offside.

Brett Connolly found Backstrom alone in the faceoff circle andCe for his 17th goal of the season. Sharks coach Peter DeBoer didn’t challenge for offside Tarvarius Moore Super Bowl LI Jersey , and the goal stood.

”It wasn’t offside. It wasn’t offside,” DeBoer said. ”He didn’t touch it before the other (player) came out and tagged out, so it clearly wasn’t offside. That’s why we didn’t call it.”

The Sharks controlled play for much of the first period but were unable to turn that into goals as Timo Meier hit the post during a power play on San Jose’s best opportunity. Tomas Hertl also hit the post on the power play in the second period as San Jose failed to take advantage of two penalties by Tom Wilson.

”It could have gone the other way today,” Grubauer said. ”They had four or five posts. It could have gone a different way, too. Lucky and blessed to get the two points.”

The Capitals took over in the second Authentic Ronnie Harrison Jersey , outshooting the Sharks 12-3. That heavy pressure finally paid off late in the period with Backstrom’s goal that was Washington’s second on the trip.

”It’s hard to be satisfied with your game when you’re not scoring or winning,” Backstrom said. ”That’s something we all are as a hockey player. We want to win and that’s what counts. We weren’t happy with our situation. But obviously it’s nice we turned it around tonight and got two points. That’s huge.”

NOTES: The Capitals had not won in regulation at San Jose since their first trip to the Shark Tank on Oct. 30, 1993, when they won 4-2. Washington had 13 losses, one tie Ryan Jensen Super Bowl LI Jersey , one overtime win and one shootout win since then. … The Capitals are 24-3-3 when scoring first.

Jameis Winston couldn’t help the reeling Tampa Bay Buccaneers end their losing streak.

Winston left Sunday’s game at New Orleans with shoulder soreness after the first half. Winston was 7 of 13 for 67 yards and the Bucs’ extended their losing streak to five games in a 30-10 rout. Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced him.

Winston sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder on Oct. 15 at Arizona Wholesale Bryce Petty Jersey , and he landed hard on the shoulder when he was sacked in the final minute of the first half against the Saints.
Article continues below ...
”It’s the same thing that’s been happening every week,” Winston said. ”I don’t know whose call it was, but they pulled me.”

Starting defensive end William Gholston was carted off the field with a neck injury. Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said Gholston Wholesale DJ Chark Jersey , who moved his arms and legs while the Bucs medical staff treated him on the field, was getting neurological tests at a hospital.

Also, left tackle Donovan Smith went out with a knee injury.

Saints left tackle Terron Armstead took himself out of the game with a chest injury late in the first half Wholesale Troy Niklas Jersey , but said after the game that he was hurt on his first play and tried to play through it. In the third quarter, the Saints said safety Kenny Vaccaro was out with a groin injury.

Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant left his team’s 28-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a sprained ankle in the third quarter, and defensive tackle Brian Price was helped off the field after a knee injury in the fourth quarter.

Chiefs defensive lineman Allen Bailey left in the third period and has a sprained knee ligament.

The Bengals were without some key players as they were dominated in a 23-7 loss to the Jaguars.

Starting right tackle Jake Fisher was taken to a hospital with an undisclosed illness. Nose tackle Pat Sims left in the first quarter with a right calf injury and did not return. Running back Jeremy Hill Jihad Ward Super Bowl LI Jersey , who started the first seven games, was scratched because of an ankle injury. Hill was not on the injury report all week.

The 49ers fell to 0-9 in their 20-10 loss to Arizona and now they will be without safety Jaquiski Tartt. He has a broken arm that will likely sideline him for the rest of the season. FB Kyle Juszczyk (neck), WR Trent Taylor (rib) and LB Elijah Lee (knee) also left with injuries.

The Seahawks lost running back Eddie Lacy in the first quarter to a groin injury in their 17-14 loss to the Redskins.

Houston tight end Ryan Griffin sustained a concussion in the third quarter against Indianapolis. It’s his second concussion this season.

LAKE FOREST Anthony Miller Jersey Elite , Ill. (AP) The Chicago Bears were looking for a coach to get the most out of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and help a founding NFL franchise emerge from one of its worst runs.

They believe Matt Nagy is the right man.

The Bears hired Kansas City’s offensive coordinator as their 16th head coach Monday, hoping he can develop their promising quarterback and turn around a struggling team.
Article continues below ...
The Bears announced the move a week after firing coach John Fox, who went 14-34 in three seasons for a .292 winning percentage that is the second-lowest in team history. Chicago was 5-11 this season and hasn’t finished above .500 since letting Lovie Smith go following a 10-6 finish in 2012, two years after its most recent visit to the playoffs.

The 39-year-old Nagy spent the past 10 seasons working under Andy Reid in Philadelphia and Kansas City. He did not call plays until late this season, but drew praise for his work with Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith.

In Chicago, the former quarterback at Delaware and then the Arena Football League will be trying to develop Trubisky Da'Shawn Hand Super Bowl LI Jersey , last year’s No. 2 overall draft pick.

”He’s a good football coach, first of all,” Reid said. ”I appreciate the way he comes to work and the attitude he brings. He puts his own flare on things. I think that’s important to know. Everybody does it their way.”

Nagy coached in high school and was still working in real estate when he served as a coaching intern with the Eagles during training camp in 2008 and 2009. He got a big break, though it came with a pay cut, when he took the job as a coaching assistant during the 2010 season.

Bears general manager Ryan Pace has plenty riding on him.

Pace put his reputation on the line when he traded up a spot with San Francisco to draft Trubisky even though he made just 13 college starts at North Carolina. It’s up to Nagy to help polish a quarterback who showed some promise with his strong arm and quickness after he took over for Mike Glennon.

If Trubisky succeeds, there’s a good chance the Bears start winning. That would likely mean a long future in Chicago for Pace Authentic Chase Edmonds Jersey , who recently got a contract extension through the 2021 season.

The Chiefs won the AFC West, only to blow an 18-point halftime lead in a playoff loss to Tennessee on Saturday. That didn’t stop the Bears from moving quickly on Nagy, interviewing him Sunday and hiring him a day later.

Chicago also met with Philadelphia quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, offensive coordinators Pat Shurmur (Minnesota) and Josh McDaniels (New England), Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards and Chicago defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. There were no known second interviews.

Though the defense performed well under Fangio, Nagy inherits a roster with holes. The Bears had no playmaking receivers Nate Solder Super Bowl LI Jersey , and their offensive line got banged up this season.

Pace has had some big hits in the draft such as running back Jordan Howard (2016, fifth round) and notable misses such as oft-injured receiver Kevin White (2015, first round). Injuries have consistently exposed a lack of depth, and Pace’s record in free agency has so far been shaky; he has struggled to find replacements for talented players no longer with the team such as receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, tight end Martellus Bennett and kicker Robbie Gould.

Fox at least helped restore some of the professionalism that was missing under former GM Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman. But Fox’s conservative approach and some questionable decisions during games were sore spots.

The Bears were 3-15 against the NFC North under Fox and dropped all six division games this past season. That will be one of the many things Nagy will need to help solve.

”Up-and-coming, smart guy Wholesale Tanner Lee Jersey ,” Chiefs assistant head coach Brad Childress said of Nagy. ”He’s played the quarterback position, so he gets it. He knows how to teach. He’s got a great demeanor about him. He’s got a creative mind. I think he’s got everything going for him.”
