Team Canada head coach Benoit Groulx announced that Zach Fucale will start in goal for Canada on Friday night in its first exhibition game against Russia, while centre Connor McDavid will be a scratch. Preston Brown Jersey . Fucale is 13-11 with a 3.20 goals-against average and .890 save percentage in 24 QMJHL games with Halifax this season. Theres a lot of things that influence stats and a lot of things happen. Im not worried about it, Fucale said. I know, my teammates know and my goalie coach and I have been working hard. I feel Im doing very good things on and off the ice. Those things will pay off. Fucale also brushed off talk about being traded, amid reports that coming out of Quebec on Wednesday that he could be on his way to the QMJHLs Remparts next month. That allows him to put trade talk aside for now. Im not focused on that, Fucale said. I cant control what goes on over there. Im just concentrating on helping this team win. Groulx wants Fucale to be himself in net, especially if that means chirping to stay on his game. One thing hes not worried about is the trade distracting Fucale. With the experience hes got, I dont think hell look further ahead, Groulx said. If that part is true, hes going to the Memorial Cup again. Its not a bad thing for him. I really feel that right now I dont see anyone here having his focus anywhere else than with this team. Groulx also pointed to Halifaxs bad start and a barrage of injuries as reasons for Fucales numbers dropping off. He also knows another season in the same junior league can take a toll. When its your fourth year in the league and youve been playing with three solid teams and then youve to come back for a fourth one, sometimes its tough to start the engine, Groulx said. But I thought he got better in November. He had an outstanding game against Russia at the Subway Series. I think he feels good about himself now. Hes mentally ready. Thats what hes showing us on the ice. Team Canada practised on Wednesday in St. Catharines, Ont., and once again, the skate wrapped up with a shootout drill. McDavid went 0-for-1, after going 0-for-3 the day before. Afterwards, he admitted being rusty as he returns from a broken hand and tries to get his timing back. McDavid was also a bit fatigued by all the talk of the New Years Eve showdown between him and fellow NHL draft prospect Jack Eichel. Its a little bit annoying, I guess, he explained. I mean, I feel like I know him, but Ive never even spoken to him. Joining McDavid in the press box for Fridays game are forward Nic Petan and defenceman Joe Hicketts.

Billy Price Jersey. .He said that stem cells were recently extracted from Nadal for a cultivation process to produce the necessary quantities.When we have them we will put them in the point of pain, he said, with the goal of regenerating cartilage, in the midterm, and producing an anti-inflammatory effect.Nadal, now 28, won a record ninth French Open along with three other titles this season before a stunning loss to teenager Borna Coric at the Swiss Indoors in October dropped him to No. 3 in the ATP rankings. That tournament was only his third since Wimbledon due to a wrist injury.The Mallorca island native has struggled with injuries over recent years.A knee injury caused him to miss several months in 2012 before coming back to full strength to win 10 titles in 2013, including the U.S. Open and again dominating at Roland Garros.Nadals 14 Grand Slam titles ties him with Pete Sampras on the all-time list led by Roger Federer and his 17 victories.
