DETROIT - The Detroit Tigers say injured designated hitter Victor Martinez does not need reconstructive surgery for his anterior cruciate ligament. Nicklas Lidstrom Red Jersey . Martinez had microfracture surgery in January and had the medial and lateral meniscus in his left knee repaired. He was expected to need another operation for the ACL, but the team says Dr. Richard Steadman determined that wouldnt be necessary. Steadman did perform a procedure recently to help the ACL heal. Manager Jim Leyland says its "as good a news as (Martinez) could have got" -- but insists its too early to speculate on a timetable for his return. The team says any chance of Martinez returning to play late this season would be determined when he has a follow-up MRI in July. (The Associated Press) Nicklas Lidstrom Authentic Jersey . The former IBF champion from Montreal was looking for a clear and decisive win in his comeback from a first-career defeat, and while others saw it as a close battle, the ringside judges gave him a 12-round unanimous decision over aggressive Russian Denis Grachev on Saturday night. Detroit Red Wings Jersey . The defending champions looked set to snatch a victory in injury time when Andres Iniesta was fouled in the area, but Sevilla goalkeeper Javi Varas stopped Lionel Messis penalty to cap his excellent performance of nine saves. "All penalties are complicated, and both luck and all the work you have put in play a part," Varas said. http://www.detroitredwingsteamshop.com/pavel-datsyuk-jersey/ . Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel preserved his sides clean sheet with a leaping catch of a shot by Martin Skrtel in the 54th minute. Brad Jones played the first half in goal for Liverpool and Peter Gulacsi took over after halftime. Tomas Holmstrom Jersey .P. Arencibia is going to be suiting up for another team this spring -- Team U. Terry Sawchuk Red Wings Jersey . The loss left Lazio tied with AC Milan in third place, 11 points behind Italian league leader Juventus. Emeghara put Siena ahead six minutes in with a header, Alessandro Rosina doubled the lead in the 23rd and Emeghara scored again in the 61st after accelerating past defender Giuseppe Biava.PITTSBURGH -- Sidney Crosbys broken jaw can take its time healing. The way his teammates are playing, there is no need for the Pittsburgh Penguins star to rush back. Pascal Dupuis scored twice, Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves, and the top-seeded Penguins opened the playoffs with a 5-0 romp over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night. "Its one win," Dupuis said. "We definitely feel good about it but weve just got to put this one behind us and get ready to work for the next one. Theyll definitely look at tape and come out harder, thats for sure." The Islanders will have to if they have any hope of making the series competitive. Making its first playoff appearance since 2007, New York fell behind less than 5 minutes in and never recovered. "I thought some guys worked hard and played a good game," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "Again, with our club we need all 20 guys going, and we didnt have all 20." That isnt an issue for the staggeringly deep Penguins. Rookie Beau Bennett, enforcer Tanner Glass and defenceman Kris Letang also scored for Pittsburgh, which had no trouble against the upstart Islanders even with Crosby relegated to cheerleader. Fleury earned his sixth career playoff shutout while playing behind a defence that appears to have learned a few lessons from last springs embarrassing opening-round loss to Philadelphia. The Flyers shredded Pittsburgh for 30 goals in six chaotic games. The Penguins have emphasized being responsible on defence all season, knowing their wealth of offensive talent will come to life when needed. Pittsburgh wasted no time against the Islanders, beating Evgeni Nabokov four times in the games first 22 minutes, including goals by Letang and Dupuis 32 seconds apart early in the second period. That sent Nabokov to the bench after he stopped just 11 shots. Kevin Poulin came on in relief and surrendered a soft goal to Glass. Capuano said it is too early to decide who will start in goal for Game 2 on Friday night. Whoever it is will need help from the guys in front of him. The Islanders havent won a playoff series in 20 years, and the drought will extend to 21 quickly if they cant keep Pittsburghs skaters in check. "When you make it easy on them, theyre going to light you up," New York forward Matt Martin said. "For most of the game we made it pretty easy on them, and if you do that theyre just going to run up the score on you." Pittsburgh rolled to the top of the East even though Crosby missed the final quarter of the season. The Penguins have been bolstered by the arrival of trade deadline acquisitions Jarome Iginla, Brenden Morrow, Jussi Jokinen and Doug Murrray. Valtteri Filppula Jersey. All four players are searching for their first Cup championship, and all four made an immediate impact in the series opener. Iginla and Jokinen both had two assists, and Morrow and Murray helped bottle up New York captain John Tavaraes. The Islanders star failed to find much room to manoeuvr and didnt muster a shot on goal all night. ""Were going to need to (forget it quickly)," Tavares said. "These series are long, but they can be real quick, too." Those who did get pucks in on Fleury didnt fare any better. He tied Tom Barrassos franchise record for career playoff shutouts and received a boost from a group that blocked 17 shots before they got to the net. Capuano insisted his team -- which had 16 players making their playoffs debut -- wouldnt be overcome by the moment. Still, the Islanders looked jittery. Bennett most certainly didnt. The 21-year-old forward earned a start over veteran Tyler Kennedy due in part to his quick maturation during the season. He repaid coach Dan Bylsma for the vote of confidence instantly, needing only 25 seconds of ice time to score his first playoff goal. The Islanders had nearly killed Brian Straits penalty when a clearing attempt hit linesman Greg Devorski at centre ice and stopped. Evgeni Malkin brought the puck into the zone and lost control, but Bennett chased it down and raced in on the right side before flipping a shot over Nabokovs shoulder from in close to give the Penguins the lead 3:30 in. Dupuis made it 2-0 about 10 minutes later following a mad scramble in front. Craig Adams bullrushed Nabokov at the left post, setting off a chaotic sequence that ended with Dupuis smacking the puck out of the air from 10 feet out. It sailed by a badly out of position Nabokov and into the net. The situation quickly got worse for New York after the first intermission. The 37-year-old goalie -- making his 81st playoff start -- had no chance on Letangs wrist shot from the left circle 1:19 into the second period. Dupuis followed by pouncing on a rebound off Mark Eatons shot from the point to push Pittsburghs edge to 4-0 and send Nabokov skating slowly to the bench in favour of Poulin. Nabokov was struck by a shot directly in his mask and was briefly stunned before Bennett opened the scoring moments later. NOTES: Pittsburgh F James Neal left in the second period with an undisclosed injury and didnt return. ... Jokinen left with 2:20 to play after taking a hit to the knee from New Yorks Marty Reasoner. ... The Islanders went 0-for-4 on the power play. ... Pittsburgh D Brooks Orpik was scratched due to a lower body injury. ... New Yorks loss was its second in regulation since March 30. ' ' ' |
