HOUSTON -- Houston freshman defensive tackle Ed Oliver has been disruptive since his collegiate debut against Oklahoma when he had two sacks. Iago Aspas Jersey .Seven games into his career, hes beginning to take over and has 23 tackles in the last two games combined for the 11th-ranked Cougars .From week to week I guess the game has slowed down a little bit compared to Oklahoma, he said. I was kind of just running around, and now it seems like Im kind of just playing football.Oliver is tied for the team lead with 43 tackles, is second in the American Athletic Conference with 9 1/2 tackles for losses and has three sacks.Hes also become adept at batting down passes and added two in a win over Tulsa on Saturday to give him five this season. Oliver finds it amusing that people are so interested in his success in this area.If I cant get the sacks I guess Ill bat the ball down, he said. Just watching the quarterbacks hand and time it up when it comes out and hit it. Its not really hard.Though Oliver downplays his success in breaking up passes, coach Tom Herman knows how rare it is for a defensive tackle to knock down as many as he has. And he raved about his contributions to Houstons defense.Everybody wants to point to his physical tools, which are obviously exceptional, Herman said. But the thing that makes Ed Oliver Ed Oliver is his tenacity and his motor. That guy goes full speed from snap to whistle, every single play that hes in. If he cant get to the quarterback, hes got a knack for jumping up and batting balls down.His skill in that area has some wondering if he looks up to Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, who has knocked down so many passes in his career that hes earned the nickname J.J. Swatt. Though Oliver appreciates Watts game and said it would be awesome to work out with him one day, he actually looks up to another NFL defensive lineman.Probably the person I look up to the most is Suh. Ndamukong Suh, Oliver said of the Miami Dolphins defensive tackle. Very dominate, o-lineman are actually scared of that dude. So If I could be like anybody, Id be like him.Its hard to imagine that very many people would be frightened of Oliver off the field, with his easy smile and jokes galore. But the 6-foot-2, 290-pound Oliver loves how intimidating he is in games.That makes your job easier if people are just moving out the way, he said with a laugh. Its fine with me.Oliver was the star of Hermans recruiting class this year. It was a bit of a surprise that he chose Houston after being rated as one of the best defensive tackles in the country following a senior season in which he had 83 tackles, including 20 for losses, nine sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception.He wasnt sure what the atmosphere would be like playing for the Cougars, but he has enjoyed it so far as the team has gained more national attention thanks to starting the season 5-0 before a loss to Navy last week.I always liked the big stage, he said. I didnt think the stage could get that big here but it was and I just play.Oliver had a season-high 12 tackles on Saturday night after finishing with 11 in the 46-40 loss to Navy. Unflinchingly honest, he was excited to have a big game in a win after his tackles didnt mean much last week since Houston lost.At least this one wont be forgotten like last week, he said. At least theyll talk about the (12) tackles.Oliver did so much on Saturday night that he didnt even realize how many stops he finished with against Tulsa and playfully argued with a reporter who told him he had another double-digit performance.That doesnt mean hes surprised that hes been so successful early in his career.I knew I would be able to play with the game speed, he said. I knew it wouldnt be a big jump as far as game speed, but I had no idea I was going to have (this many tackles).---More college football coverage at www.collegefootball.ap.org Marco Asensio Jersey . Murray beat Sam Querrey 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3 to clinch Britains opening-round victory against the United States on Sunday at Petco Park.

With their top three point guards and Kobe Bryant all sidelined by injury, the Lakers signed Marshall out of the D-League on Friday before their home game against Minnesota. For Sir Bradley Wiggins, finishing second is just first loser.The seven-time Olympic medallist has admitted anything less than gold in the Rio velodrome will leave him gutted as he prepares for the qualifying round of the mens team pursuit on Thursday.Britain are the reigning Olympic champions in the event after claiming gold in London with a new world record, but were pipped to the world title this year by old foes Australia.Wiggins is already the owner of four Olympic golds, and is a veteran of the same number of Games after his first appearance at Sydney 2000, but he insisted he is still hungry for more -- even at the ripe old age of 36.Im only here because I want to win another gold medal, Wiggins said. Im not here to win a bronze or a silver.The golds are really the only ones that matter when youve got as many as I have. Thats just the reality of it. If were all sat in front of you having won silver, you can expect us to be pretty pissed off.Thats why were here, to win a gold medal, and well be gutted if we dont.Wiggins will be joined in the team pursuit quartet by Ed Clancy, Steven Burke and Owain Doull, with Tour de France star Mark Cavendish unlikely to feature unless there is an injury in the line-up.Cavendish, who this year moved to second on the list of Tour de France stage winners, appeared to express frustration at being omitted from the quartet after quitting the Tour early to prepare for Rio.The Manxman will only ride in the omnium as he attempts to claim the Olympic medal that has so far eluded him, but on Tuesday he told Sky Sports: The reason I left the Tour early [is] because of the team pursuit.Brad has been super stressed, he added. He wants to be the hero and all that. Im kind of jjust doing the omnium stuff now. Sergio Ramos Jersey. Thats what I was aiming for the whole time. The team pursuits a bonus to that anyway.Wiggins, however, will be keen to quash any sense of disquiet in the camp as he stressed his belief that it will take another world-beating time to claim gold and keep the Australians at bay.Ive said that its going to take a world record to win the gold, Wiggins said. We dont have to mince our words, weve always realised that its going to take [3 minutes] 50 [seconds] or a sub-50 to win. Thats the bar weve set ourselves.Im sure the Aussies are thinking that way as well. Thats what brings world records, when youve got eight of the worlds best team pursuiters pushing each other on the track.Despite the apparent grumbles from Cavendish, Wiggins insisted he has never experienced working in a team like the 2016 edition. And thats coming from an Olympian who has won team pursuit gold, silver, and bronze, in Beijing, Athens, and SydneyFrom a group perspective, I dont think Ive ever been in a team these last 16 years where everyones as strong as each other, he said. Its reassuring. You just have to do your own individual job, knowing that everyone else is going to do theirs.I wouldnt say its a done deal, but we know what were capable of doing now. If we execute that on an Olympic stage, I know what it should give us.Youre not going in with any doubts. Ive been in [the same place] a few times going into the Olympics on an individual level but being part of a team is different. Ive always said you need four guys to deliver on the day. Its a good place to be. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
Total QBR measures nearly every aspect of quarterback play including passing, designed runs, scrambles, turnovers and penalties. Matt Niskanen Jersey . QBR also strives to separate the performance of the individual quarterback from the rest of his team, in order to rate the overall efficiency of each quarterback in the league, also accounting for opposing defenses; quarterbacks who face tougher defenses will have their ratings adjusted upward in proportion to the difficulty of their opposition, and those who face weaker defenses will have their ratings adjusted downward. The new, adjusted QBR is now the number youll find under the Total QBR column at the QBR page.?For a full explanation of how ESPN determines QBR, click here.With that, a look at the top 10 in ESPNs current QBR rankings through Week 12 of the 2016 season.

The Olympic and world long jump champion, who broke the British indoor record with a leap of 8.26 metres in Albuquerque earlier this month, has revealed a small muscle tear put paid to his chances of competing at the Emirates Arena.Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ he said: We are doing everything we possibly can to make sure it heals quickly and I am seeing my physio daily to get on with that. Im very, very disappointed to not be jumping this weekend - it was going to be a fantastic competition.

Reassurance came from Paul Tesori, his caddie and close friend whose newborn son is in intensive care in a Florida hospital. "Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Bill Snyder recalled this week arguably the lowest point of his coaching career.It was nearly two decades ago, when Kansas State rolled into the Big 12 title game unbeaten and ranked No. 1. The Wildcats needed only to beat Texas A&M to have an opportunity to play for a national championship, but squandered a big lead in an overtime loss that spoiled their season.That, Snyder said this week, was a hard loss.He hopes for a much different result against the Aggies later this month.Kansas State heads to the Texas Bowl in Houston to face its old conference rival, and just like in 1998, there will be more at stake than simply a trophy and some bragging rights. Those closest to the program believe things are lining up for Snyder to contend for one more conference title, and just maybe, force their way into the College Football Playoff and make another run at a national championship.Knocking off the Aggies on Dec. 28 would serve as a catapult toward those lofty aspirations, sending a Kansas State team filled with underclassmen into the offseason on a high note.Next year is next year, Snyder said, but surely it could. Hopefully that would be the case. As Ive said every year, each year has totally different dynamics than previous years. Its one step at a time. More often than not, the previous year and how things play out is not necessarily a good indicator of where the next team is going to go.Indeed, some of the Wildcats best seasons have come after lackluster efforts, while some of their worst seasons have come after achieving some of their greatest heights.But the way they perform in bowl games tends to be a harbinger. They were coming off a Fiesta Bowl triumph when they ran unbeaten through the regular season in 98, and they were coming off a Holiday Bowl victory in 2003, when they beat mighty Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game.There is also something to be said for momentum: Kansas State (8-4) has won five of its last six, and has been on an upward trajectory ever since a season-opening loss at Stanford. The youth that had Big 12 coaches picking the Wildcats to finish eighth has slowly matured, and now a team that starts three freshmen and regularly plays three times that many is hardened and experienced. Brock Nelson Jersey. .Everything that weve accomplished so far, it was not expected of us, Kansas State linebacker Trent Tanking explained. We could go from the team that was considered young and inexperienced to the team that finished the season strong.Not to mention the team that is poised for bigger things next season.Start with the offense, where the only starters who will be lost to graduation are offensive lineman Terrale Johnson, wide receiver Deante Burton and running back Charles Jones. All of them have backups who have played considerably this season, which should smooth their departure.Their big playmakers are all due back: quarterback Jesse Ertz, running backs Alex Barnes and Justin Silmon, wide receiver Byron Pringle and tight end Dayton Valentine.Defensively, the Wildcats will lose stalwart defensive end Jordan Willis, veteran safety Dante Barnett and three other starters. But similar to the offense, their backups played meaningful snaps, and two freshmen starters will have a year of seasoning.Then there is the schedule itself.The nonconference includes home games against Central Arkansas and Charlotte sandwiched around a trip to Vanderbilt, giving the Wildcats a chance to get off to a good start. The Big 12 slate sends most of the elite teams, including Oklahoma, West Virginia and Baylor, to Manhattan.In other words, things are lining up perfectly for a big season.Still, Snyder is reluctant to gaze too far into the future. The 77-year-old coach hasnt even confirmed he will be back next season, though thats the assumption.He certainly isnt going to think about what next year holds with Texas A&M sitting on the horizon.Im proud of the young people in our program and their coaches for embellishing and making a commitment to daily improvement, he said, and as youve heard me say so many times, its not totally consistent but at the end of the day weve gotten better on a very regular basis and Id attribute any success that weve had to that year-in and year-out.

Because Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin have been the face of the Vancouver Canucks since they debuted during the 2000-01 season, it would be tough for fans to see them wearing any other jersey, but the organization needs nothing more right now than to trade the superstar twins. Howie Morenz Jersey .Vancouver has lost nine straight games and dropped to second-to-last place in the Pacific Division. The Canucks are 15th in the NHL in even-strength Corsi for percentage, which suggests they are closer to a mediocre team than a lottery team, but there is no statistical reason to believe they will climb out of the early-season hole, as the Anaheim Ducks did last season.The Canucks are severely lacking in depth at both forward and on defense, and have a past-his-prime goaltender making $6 million. This seasons struggles may be the final straw for ownership, which should have bought into a full rebuild several years ago. But judging by the offseason signing of veteran Loui Eriksson to a long-term contract, a teardown was something the owners did not support. Now they are left with no other choice.

TAMPA, Fla. Walace Jersey . -- Victor Hedman wanted to make up for an opening 20 minutes of play where he turned the puck over several times.And the Tampa Bay defenseman did that starting in the second.

The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. http://www.officialbrazilstore.com/world-cup-renato-augusto-football-jersey/ . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise. I dread solo runs the way the average person hates tax time. The solitary nature of the run forces me to turn inward, and as a goal-oriented overachiever with a fear of failure, I hate the introspection that these runs cultivate.The thought of spending hours wrestling with my body, willing it to keep going, with no distractions and no community support makes me question my sanity. Ive tried all of the recommended tips and mental tricks, as well as fitness gadgets and apps to make solo running for long distances better.Only one thing has done the trick: virtual runs.I joined two virtual running groups on Facebook because of my love for Harry Potter --?Nerd Herd Running, with money going to the nonprofit Stupid Cancer, and the Hogwarts Running Club, who donates to a different organization every race. When I ran the Dementors Kiss 5K with the Hogwarts Running Club, we raised $45,000 for Miles for Cystic Fibrosis. I liked the idea that the money I spent fueling my running habit also had a larger purpose.Virtual races are runs of a predetermined length that can take place at any location of your choosing during a particular week. You pay the race registration fee and receive a runners bib in your email. Certain running groups require that you submit a proof of time, and after a couple of weeks, you receive a finishers medal.These races dont require travel, so theyre easier on the wallet. And best of all, there are no long lines at the porta-potty.For me, these runs are the perfect combination of nerd culture and running community. Running is one of those activities I never thought I would do. I abhorred physical exercise as a child. I was sedentary in my early 20s from a combination of depression and self-loathing. I wanted to be invisible.One phone call changed my life.It was my 27th birthday, and I needed serious convincing that I should live another year. My childhood friend Jillian called. Buried under the floral comforter in my bedroom, iPhone on speaker, I told her that I am not sure I wanted to continue living.She persuaded me to make a list of all the things I couldnt do, but that I dream of doing. On my list was a completing a marathon.Jill suggested we start small, with a princess-themed 5K. We registered, trained and finished the race together. From there we took on 10Ks and half-marathons and multiple-day challenges.Ive been running, off and on, ever since. Exercise is my version of Defense Against the Dark Arts.?I let my imagination loose on these runs.***Its 5 a.m. when my earbuds go in, and the fusion of sight and sound begins a seamless transition to the Harry Potter Universe. My mind fills in the gaps of my elaborate fantasy. Everyday sights and sounds, with theeir metronomic regularity, transform into rhythmic spectacle. Gabriel Jersey. .My environment becomes animated -- lampposts change into floating candles, illuminating my path. The local YMCA, which towers above the rest of the landscape, morphs into the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, strong dramatic architecture silhouetted against an enchanted navy sky.For the first half of my run, I evade the dark forces. Halfway through, my left heel is sore, and my right knee threatens to be uncooperative.I stop.Thats when the Dementors show up. In the Harry Potter Universe, theyre mystical figures shrouded in black gossamer cloth, and they thrive on despair. Their main purpose is to suck the happiness and good memories out of the people that they come across.In my mind theyre always hovering on the periphery, waiting time until I let my guard down. Doubt doesnt take long to blossom once its taken root -- I know that from near fatal bouts with depression. Those brushes with the spectral always left me listless and unmotivated, wracked with nightmares and harboring the belief that I was devoid of talent.I have to keep running. I make it past a large tree Ive dubbed the Whomping Willow before I was forced to stop again. Up ahead I see a Boggart, a shape-shifting creature that takes on the form of the thing you fear most.The resurrected corpse looks like me, but smells like betrayal -- wet, decaying flesh giving way due to neglect. Brain slightly atrophied, cloaked in anger, frustration and fear. She utters sharp, mean statements: I am not fast. I am not brave. I am a failure.My run has a new sense of urgency, to prove the other me wrong, to conquer the things that threaten to drown me if I ever give myself permission to think about them.I am the protagonist. I cant outrun this variant of myself. I have to face her. I surrender to the run; I stop obsessing about the time.I pull the terrible memories and places out of myself and leave them on the pavement. In this alternate universe, I could be gifted and hardworking, and villains were always vanquished, even though all enchantments come with a price. I dont have to be fast -- I just have to finish.Monsters, after all, can be defeated. I know I deserve to cultivate hope, to have peace. I understand it is my right to be happy. My creativity allows me to believe in the incredible, to not be limited by the bounds of my own experience. I know, at the end of all of this, that I can endure.Latria Graham is a writer, editor and cultural critic. She is currently living in South Carolina.

Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Bengals cornerback Adam (Pacman) Jones pleaded not guilty Tuesday to an assault charge after police say he hit a woman at a nightclub last week, the latest in a string of legal troubles hes had. An lawyer for Jones, 29, entered the plea a day after he was arrested and then released on his own recognizance. He attended the start of the Bengals training camp Tuesday and worked out with the team in the afternoon, but declined to comment. Jones is accused of hitting a 34-year-old woman at a downtown Cincinnati nightclub Wednesday shortly before midnight. A police report lists the injury as apparently minor. Jones attorney, Edward Perry, declined to comment. "The situation Adam Jones is in obviously is not something you want to get involved in," coach Marvin Lewis said. "Its unfortunate that hes in this situation. Thats really about all I can add to it." Surveillance video of altercation, obtained by a local radio station and verified as authentic by Cincinnati police, appears to show Jones approaching two seated women outside the club. Then, a third woman approaches Jones and appears to confront him. The grainy video shows the woman reach toward Jones face but its unclear what she does or whether shes holding anything in her hand. Jones then appears to hit the woman, who falls to the ground but quickly gets up and follows Jones off-camera as another man with him ushers him away. The woman in the video, identified by police as 34-year-old Shannon Wesley, did not return a call for comment. Jones could be punished by the National Football League under its conduct policy. Spokesman Greg Aiello said the league would review the latest arrest when appropriate. Jones wasnt suspended for an arrest in July 2011, when he was accused of being disorderly, shouting profanities and trying to pull away as officers arrested him at a bar in downtown Cincinnati. John Timu Jersey. As part of an agreement to settle that case, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour count of disorderly conduct in Hamilton County Municipal Court and was sentenced to one year of probation and 50 hours of community service. Hed stayed out of trouble until his latest arrest. Last year, he was ordered to pay $11 million in damages to two Las Vegas strip club employees injured in 2007 when a gunman claiming he was doing Jones bidding opened fire outside the club after Jones and his entourage were kicked out. A club manager was paralyzed from the waist down and a bouncer was wounded. Jones said he had no role in the shooting and pleaded an equivalent of no contest to misdemeanour conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct. The gunman, Arvin Kenti Edwards, is serving four to 10 years in prison. Jones got into a lot of trouble early in his career. The cornerback was the sixth overall pick in 2005 but repeatedly had off-field issues with Tennessee, resulting in suspensions. He missed the entire 2007 season on suspension and sat out the 2009 season when no team was interested. The Bengals gave him another chance and he has taken advantage of it, developing into their third cornerback and punt returner. Instead of being a distraction, hes blended into one of the leagues top defences. Cincinnati finished sixth last season in yards allowed. Hes also become close to some of the other defensive players. "I didnt know much about him before, but hes been one of my best friends since a little while after he got here," cornerback Leon Hall said. "We kind of meshed. We live not too far from each other. We dont have the same personality, but weve clicked pretty well. Hes been a pleasure for me ever since he came out here."

Negating the AFLs most potent forward line wont be light work at the SCG on Saturday night but Sydney hope many hands will make it happen. Fred VanVleet Jersey .Team defence has long been in vogue but few sides have predicated the need quite like Adelaide.The Crows star-studded forward line boasts no shortage of threats and looms as one of the most imposing hurdle the Swans must clear if theyre to avoid another straight-sets finals exit.Eddie Betts, Taylor Walker, Josh Jenkins and Tom Lynch are all capable of busting the semi-final open , having each booted 40-plus goals this year.No team this year have bettered Adelaides average of 16.7 goals a game.Their starting six are all genuine forwards and they know each other really well. Its a great mix of talls and smalls ... theyve got such good balance and theyre so well drilled, Swans defence coach Henry Playfair said.They really spread the load well.Well be relying on team defence. We expect the guys to get across and help, we try and prevent any one-on-ones. Thats part of the back six mentality then youve got the team mentality of midfielders getting back to fill space and forwards putting pressure on, preventing any quick balls coming in.Its an approach the Swans have nailed for most of the year, conceding an average 9.6 goals to claim the title of the leagues stingiest side.It went awry in week one of the finals, when Greater Western Sydney recorded an upset 36-point win in the most high-stakes derby yet.The frequency, speed and precision at which the ball came into the forward line didnt make life easy for Sydney defenders Heath Grundy, Dane Rampe and Aliir Aliir. Playfair noted they could have done better.We hung in there and and fought on but we didnt necessarily go out and get after the game enough, from our back half, Playfair said.Even though we were under the pump with some quick entries, when we got our chance we didnt really take them on.We just have to play with a bit more intensity, energy and life in our game. Dont sit back and expect it to happen.Rampe played on Lynch, while Grundy handled Jenkins in round four when the Crows prevailed by 10 points in a classic.Nick Smith will again be handed the job on in-form livewire Betts, who booted six goals in the Crows elimination final win over North Melbourne.Nick has played on him previously and knows him really well, so at times hell got to him. Eddie also spends a fair bit of time up the ground as well, Playfair said.Thats a different challenge and I wont divulge too much on how well handle it.But Eddie is such a dangerous player and youve got to have someone watching him pretty closely all the time.SYDNEYS MASTER MISERS *Conceded a league-best average of 9.6 goals a game in 2016 *Dane Rampe included in 2016 All-Australian side, while Nick Smiths capacity to shut down the leagues best small forwards was rewarded with All-Australian selection in 2014 *Havent conceded more than 14 goals in a match at the SCG since 2013 ADELAIDES FEARSOME FORWARDS *Averaging a league-best 16.7 goals a game in 2016*Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins and Tom Lunch all included in 40-man All Australian squad this year*Have booted 14 goals or more in 19 of 23 games in 2016.

BUFFALO, N. Jeff Carter Jersey .Y. -- For once, Buffalo Sabres coach Dan Bylsma couldnt complain about his teams lack of offense.Anders Nilsson stopped 46 shots, plus three more in the shootout, to stymie the Sidney Crosby-led Pittsburgh Penguins.And one goal in regulation, plus minor league call-up Cal OReillys shootout tally, were just enough for the offensively challenged Sabres to pull out a 2-1 victory Saturday night.Well, it doesnt really matter at this point in time who its against, Bylsma said. But its a win we desperately needed and against one of the better teams, if not the best team, in the league.William Carrier scored in regulation for Buffalo, which hasnt scored more than twice in 10 straight games, dating to a 3-1 win at Winnipeg on Oct. 30.In snapping an 0-4-2 skid, Buffalos victory came on the heels of a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Friday after which Sabres forward Evander Kane expressed frustration about his teams lack of offense. He sarcastically said Buffalo had become the joke of the NHL because opponents needed only two goals to beat them.The difference on Saturday was the Penguins were unable to score twice.It took Pittsburgh 31 shots before Crosby beat Nilsson with a power-play goal to tie the game with 14:14 remaining in regulation.Its just one of those games where you leave feeling like you deserve better, said Crosby, who scored his 12th of the season and the 350th goal of his career. Ultimately, we have to find a way to bury a few chances. ... But he made some good saves. You have to give him credit.Pittsburgh has alternated losses and wins over its past five games since a 9-2-2 start, and was coming off a 3-2 overtime win at the New York Islanders on Friday night.The Penguins also lost to Buffalo for the first time in 10 meetings, since a 4-2 loss at Pittsburgh on April 23, 2013.Nilsson was solid in making just his second start in 11 games, and first since a 41-save performance in a 2-1 overtime loss to New Jersey on Nov. 11.Nilssons toughest saves came during overtime.A minute in, he kicked out his right pad to stop Phil Kessels drive from the right circle. A few seconds later, Nilsson squeezed his right arm just in time to trap Trevor Daleys shot.His best save came with 2:55 left in overtime, when he kicked out his left pad at the last moment to foil Kris Letang on a breakaway.After stopping Crosby and Evgeni Malkin on Pittsburghs first two shootout attempts, Nilsson sealed the win by stopping Letangs attempt to beat him through the legs.Obviously, they do have some very esteemed guys and some very good players in their lineup, Nilsson said. I tried to be as patient as possible and let them make the first move and try to make the save. And today I got lucky and was able to do that.OReilly scored on Buffalos third attempt by breaking up the right wing before cutting to the front of the net and beating Marc-Andre Fleury with a snap shot to the glove side.The goal came on the same day OReilly was called up from Buffalos AHL affiliate in Rochester. And it wasnt lost on Bylsma that OReilly has an established reputation for being a shootout specialist.OReilly has scored on six of 13 shootout attempts, with three of them game-deciding goals.Fleury was otherwise solid in stopping 32 shots through overtime.He was particularly sharp 2 minutes into the third period, when he got his glove up to stop Kanes shot from the left circle. Fleury then got across to his left to bat down Brian Giontas off-balance shot from the slot.Game notes Crosby has 15 goals and 50 points in 32 career games against Buffalo. ... Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist missed his second game with a concussion. Coach Mike Sullivan said Hornqvist skated on his own earlier in the day, but there was no timetable yet for his return. ... Aside from OReilly, the Sabres recalled forward Cole Schneider from Rochester. OReilly was the AHLs scoring leader with 18 points (three goals, 15 assists), and Schneider was tied for second with 17 (seven goals, 10 assists). ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Heavyweight world titleholder Deontay Wilders 2016 fight schedule is over.Although Wilder retained his belt with a one-sided, eighth-round knockout of Chris Arreola on Saturday night at Legacy Arena, the two significant injuries Wilder suffered in the bout will keep him out of the ring for the rest of the year, promoter Lou DiBella told ESPN.com on Sunday.Wilder, who broke his right hand and suffered a probable right biceps tear, spent most of the night at UAB Hospital. He will be back at the hospital soon, likely for two surgeries, one to repair each injury, DiBella said.Hes definitely going to need surgery on his right hand, DiBella said. He will have it as soon as is practical. He will likely also require surgery on his biceps.After the fight, Wilder, who was obviously in pain, winced as his right glove was removed and had ice put on his biceps. Then he came to ringside and told media members that he believed his hand was broken and displayed his disfigured biceps. Later in the dressing room, Dr. David Williams, an Alabama commission physician, diagnosed the broken hand and said Wilder also had a probable distal biceps tear.The 30-year-old Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs), one of boxings biggest punchers, has broken his right hand at least twice previously. After a first-round knockout of Travis Allen in 2009 (Wilders seventh professional fight), Wilder had the hand surgically repaired; pins were inserted to stabilize it. Wilder suffered a stress fracture in the same spot during his world title victory against Bermane Stiverne in January 2015, although he did not require a second procedure.Wilder, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, likely suffered the injuries against Arreola (36-5-1, 31 KOs) in the fourth round, when Wilder badly hurt Arreola, knocked him down with an onslaught of shots, including a big right hand, and then nearly stopped him in the final seconds of the round.Deontay is definitely out for tthe remainder of the year, but we will know more in the next few days, DiBella said. Luc Robitaille Jersey. Wilder fought through the injuries but essentially stopped using his right hand after the fourth round. But he was strong enough with his left jab and hook to continue breaking down Arreola, 35, of Riverside, California, until his trainer, Henry Ramirez, asked referee Jack Reiss to stop the bout after the eighth round. Arreolas left eye was swollen closed, and he had a bad cut over his right eye.These are very significant injuries and he was hurt early in the fight, so the fact that Deontay kept up his work rate as a one-armed fighter was pretty remarkable, DiBella said. He put such a beating on Arreola with one arm. Some damage was done early, but Deontay showed huge heart and will. He has the heart of a lion, the heart of a champion. Theres no reason to think he wont be back and be fine in 2017.Also on Sunday, Wilders team, including DiBella, co-manager Shelly Finkel and DiBella attorneys Alex Dombroff and Judd Burstein, met for about two hours with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman and others from the sanctioning body, whose title Wilder holds, to discuss the situation related to the failed drug test of mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin of Russia. DiBella declined to discuss the specifics of the meeting.Wilder was supposed to fight Povetkin on May 21 in Russia, but Povetkin tested positive for trace amounts of the banned substance meldonium and the fight was called off nine days beforehand. The WBC then permitted Wilder to have an optional defense, which came against Arreola.About two weeks ago, Povetkin and his team met with WBC officials to present their side of the story. The WBC has to decide whether Povetkin will keep his mandatory status and if there will be any punishment.
