The Kings are virtually a one-line team, and that becomes even more important with Anze Kopitar hurt, a Bruins defenceman rising up, an Islanders checker who can score and a lot more to wrap up the weekend in Scott Cullen’s Statistically Speaking. Comprar Adidas Ultra Boost Baratas . HEROES That 70s Line – The Kings’ trio continued their torrid start with a big game against Columbus Sunday. C Jeff Carter and RW Tyler Toffoli both tallied a goal and three assists, while LW Tanner Pearson scored a pair of goals, in the Kings’ 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets. All had strong possession stats, but Pearson was best of the three (18 shot attempts for, 4 against, 81.8%). The line has scored 16 of the Kings’ 21 goals this season. See how they compare with the top three goal-scorers on other teams, none of which comprises a regular line like those in Los Angeles. As a percentage of total team goals (minimum a dozen goals), there isnt a threesome close to Pearson, Carter and Toffoli.

Frans Nielsen – The Islanders’ checking centre notched a hat trick, with six shots on goal, on a night in which he was matched most often against Dallas’ formidable top line of Jamie Benn, Jason Spezza and Tyler Seguin. ZEROES San Jose Sharks – Even though they had an impressive win in Anaheim Sunday, losing 2-1 on home ice, against Buffalo (!) Saturday can’t be ignored. While LW Patrick Marleau had a top-notch possession game (28 shot attempts for, 7 against, 80.0%), individually he generated one shot attempt (which missed the net) in 20:00 of ice time. Columbus D – The Blue Jackets defence pairing of Fedor Tyutin (4 shot attempts for, 29 against, 12.1%) and David Savard (4 for, 21 against, 16.0%) got dominated, possession-wise, against Los Angeles Sunday. Sean Couturier – The Philadelphia tough assignment centre was stuck in the defensive zone (1 shot attempt for, 15 against, 6.3%) vs. Detroit, getting controlled by the Henrik Zetterberg line (with Justin Abdelkader and either Gustav Nyquist or Pavel Datsyuk).

LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Kings C Anze Kopitar left Sunday’s game against Columbus with an upper body injury. In the aftermath of Kopitar’s injury, Jarret Stoll moved up to centre Dustin Brown and Dwight King. With Ryan Callahan and Alex Killorn hurting, Cedric Paquette was called up and inserted into the Tampa Bay lineup, but then RW Brett Connolly left Friday’s game against Winnipeg with a lower-body injury and is considered week to week, leaving Tampa Bay rather thin up front. Call-up Jonathan Marchessault played 12:33 against Minnesota Saturday. Blue Jackets LW Nick Foligno was taken off the ice on a stretcher in Los Angeles Sunday. Foligno collided with a linesman.

Blue Jackets D Ryan Murray played 17:55 in his first game of the season, Sunday at Los Angeles. His role should expand quickly as he gets up to game speed. Ducks D Ben Lovejoy reportedly broke his hand in a fight with Sharks RW Joe Pavelski Sunday. Mark Fistric appears to be next in line on the Ducks’ defensive depth chart. FIRSTS Blackhawks G Scott Darling stopped 32 of 33 shots to beat the Ottawa Senators 2-1 Sunday. Darling, 25, was a sixth-round pick of the Coyotes in 2007 and the 6-foot-6 goalie climbed his way from the University of Maine through low-level minor leagues, including two full seasons for the Louisiana IceGators and Mississippi RiverKings in the Southern Professional Hockey League.

In the days leading up to the draft, TSN.ca and TSN Radio basketball analyst Duane Watson looks at some of the names that will be headlining the event. Tonight, Michigans Nik Stauskas of Mississauga, Ontario. http://www.baratasnmd.com/ . "Yes, Id like to get them in," Detroits rookie manager said. "Mother Natures going to have a say in that." Sure enough, the Tigers had their game against the Kansas City Royals postponed because of rain on Thursday.TORONTO -- Losers of 10 of their past 14 games, including a 14-1 rout Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays made some changes to their roster that included calling up top pitching prospect Aaron Sanchez. Sanchez and right-handed pitcher Esmil Rogers had their contracts selected from triple A-Buffalo and shortstop Ryan Goins was recalled from the Bisons. To make room, left-handed reliever Brad Mills was designated for assignment and catcher Erik Kratz and outfielder Darin Mastroianni were optioned to the minors. "You hope (to get a spark)," manager John Gibbons said. "That wasnt the purpose of it, but we could use a little bit of that, so well see. Itd bring a lot more excitement if we could get results on the field." The 22-year-old Sanchezs addition is the most intriguing, even as Gibbons said hell be used exclusively out of the bullpen. Sanchez was a first round pick of the Blue Jays in 2010 and is considered one of the top 50 prospects in baseball. "Hes got an overpowering, live fastball," Gibbons said. "He gets a lot of ground balls. Hes got a nice curveball. When hes on, hes a tough at-bat." Sanchez is a starter, but with 100 minor league innings under his belt already this season, the Blue Jays want to limit him to about 130. "We plan on using him," Gibbons said. "Were not going to baby him but well keep an eye on him." Sanchez said his first call upon learning he was going to the majors was made wearing just a towel in the visiting clubhouse Monday night in Allentown, Pa. Adidas NMD R1 Rebajas. , where the Bisons were playing the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. The Bristow, Calif., native then rode up to Toronto on Tuesday. "This has been an unbelievable 24 hours for me," he said. It has been a forgettable 24 hours for the Blue Jays after getting smacked by the Boston Red Sox in the series opener at Rogers Centre. Mills, who gave up eight earned runs -- including two home runs to David Ortiz -- was the first victim and got designated for assignment because Toronto needed someone who could eat up innings Tuesday and beyond. Thatll be Rogerss job for now. "After last night, if something happens early in this game or it went extra innings we had no length out of anybody out there," Gibbons said. "(Rogers had) been pitching much better down there, too." Goins will "play a lot" at second base, according to Gibbons, who wouldnt go so far as to say he was the de facto starter there. With Brett Lawrie still injured, Munenori Kawasaki could see more time at third base, with Juan Fransisco shifting to first. Kratz was sent down, Gibbons said, because the Blue Jays dont need a right-handed-hitting catcher this week. They still have switch-hitting Dioner Navarro and lefty Josh Thole on the roster. ' ' '
