Canucks' Luongo gets 3rd straight shutoutRoberto Luongo made 26 saves for his third straight shutout, setting personal and franchise records while leading the Vancouver Canucks to a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night. Luongo, who began the streak against Chicago and Anaheim, hasn't allowed a goal in 193 minutes, 59 seconds and eclipsed a 32-year-old franchise record at 10:22, moving past former Canucks backup Ken Lockett. More... Predators steal win in nation's capitalMartin Erat scored with 22.2 seconds remaining in regulation time Thursday night to lift the Nashville Predators to a thrilling 6-5 victory over slumping Ottawa. The Senators have hit upon their longest winless streak in more than a year. Not since they dropped five straight between Oct. 28 and Nov. 8, 2006, have they gone this long without a victory. More... Maple Leafs snap losing streak in AtlantaThe Toronto Maple Leafs undoubtedly gave general manager John Ferguson Jr. a better night's sleep on Thursday, beating the Atlanta Thrashers 4-2 to snap a four-game losing streak. More... Favre injured as Packers fall to CowboysStanding on the sideline, scowling and gingerly holding his bandaged right arm, all Brett Favre could do was watch Tony Romo impersonate him. The kid was good. Too good for Favre and the Green Bay Packers. The Wisconsin native who spent all week denying Favre was his childhood hero sure played a lot like a young No. 4 Thursday night. More... Getzlaf lights up Kiprusoff and FlamesFormer Calgary Hitmen player Ryan Getzlaf continued his hot play of late, setting up two goals, including the game-winner, in leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Chris Kunitz gave Anaheim its first lead of the night, putting them ahead 2-1 off a neat setup from Getzlaf with 41 seconds left in the first period. More... NHL approves new schedule formatThe NHL has approved a schedule that will have each team play 24 divisional games, 40 in-conference matchups, 15 games against non-conference teams and three wild card games against out of conference teams. The format - used prior to the lockout - allows each team to play every team at least once in a season, but it would still be every other year before a player like Sidney Crosby or Alexander Ovechkin would play in every building. More... NHL approves sale of PredatorsThe National Hockey League's Board of Governors have approved the sale of the Nashville Predators to a local group headed by David Freeman. The Freeman group is expected to close on the sale within the next few days. The group came together to make an offer to owner Craig Leipold after he originally announced a deal to sell his team in May to Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie for $220 million. More... Knicks humiliated in Boston by CelticsThe Celtics cruised to one of the easiest victories ever on Thursday night, beating New York 104-59 to send the Knicks to their third-worst loss and their second-worst scoring performance of the shot-clock era. More... Ricciardi expects quiet Winter MeetingsThe Toronto Blue Jays head to next week's winter meetings with an open mind and nothing firm on their agenda. Unlike the past few years, general manager J.P. Ricciardi and his staff don't have any specific goals for baseball's annual shop-and-barter-fest. Instead this year's session, featuring an underwhelming free-agent class, will be a far more fluid affair for the Blue Jays, who are hoping something might develop out of the hours and hours of shoptalk and schmoozing. More... 2 Canadians in the hunt at PGA Q-schoolFrank Lickliter II shot his second straight 10-under 62 on Thursday at Orange County National to take a nine-stroke lead after the second of six rounds in the PGA Tour National Qualifying Tournament. The top 25 finishers and ties will earn 2008 PGA Tour cards, while the next number of players nearest 50 will get full Nationwide Tour exemptions. More... LeBron a game-time decision in TorontoAn MRI on LeBron James' injured left finger in Toronto revealed a sprain, and the Cleveland Cavaliers said their superstar would be a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Raptors. James hurt his index finger with 4:41 left in the second quarter on Wednesday night against Detroit when he was fouled on a drive by Pistons centre Nazr Mohammed, who slapped at the ball as James began to shoot. More... Raptors' injury situation still murkyThe Toronto Raptors injury picture remained murky Thursday as the team prepared to host the Cleveland Cavaliers. Chris Bosh wasn't at practice while Andrea Bargnani barely practised and T.J. Ford stayed behind long after his teammates left, trying to work himself back into game shape. All three players are nursing a various assortment of ailments heading into Friday's game against the Cavs (TSN, 7pm et/4pm pt). More... Jackson agrees to extension with LakersLakers coach Phil Jackson has agreed to terms of a two-year contract extension worth about US$24 million, putting him under contract through the 2009-10 season. A person with knowledge of the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Lakers hadn't made an announcement, confirmed the agreement. More... |
