Dubnyk enters an uncertain situation with the Predators

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The NHL has suspended Minnesota Wild defenceman Ryan Suter two games for elbowing Pittsburgh Penguins forward Steve Downie in the head.Suter will miss Minnesotas game Thursday night in Buffalo against the Sabres and Saturday at home against the Arizona Coyotes.The 29-year-old had never been suspended before in his 10-year career.Suter said Tuesday night after the Wilds loss in Pittsburgh that the elbow was accidental.Coach Mike Yeo backed him up on that Wednesday, speaking before Suters disciplinary hearing.What I saw when I looked at it initially is hes not looking at the player at all, Yeo said after the Wilds practice at First Niagara Center. Hes looking at the player and I think he puts his elbow up just almost kind of to box the guy out.No one plays more than Suter, as he averages a league-high 29:34 a game, just ahead of Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings.The argument could be made that no team needs one single skater more than the Wild need Suter, especially considering theyve lost six in a row and 12 of their past 14 games.Yeo was hoping Suter would just be fined by the NHL, as Marco Scandella was earlier in the season.I would hope for sure, for a lot of reasons, Yeo said. I know that thats not his intention, thats not the type of player that he is, and i know that he felt bad about it even during the game. As much as anything else, we need him in the lineup.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Replica China .

Freddie Roach said if the Rios fight "does not go well, we will seriously talk about his retirement," but that Pacquiao was training as well as ever for the Nov.The Edmonton Oilers retooled their goaltending on Wednesday, trading Devan Dubnyk to the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Matt Hendricks and acquiring goaltender Ben Scrivens from the Los Angeles Kings for a 2014 third-round pick. The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. The Kings acquired Scrivens, along with Matt Frattin and a second-round draft pick, from the Maple Leafs last summer in a trade that saw goaltender Jonathan Bernier sent to Toronto. The Spruce Grove, AB, native - who will become an unrestricted free agent this summer - has seven wins in 19 games this season. With the trade, the Kings called up goaltender Martin Jones from Manchester of the AHL on Wednesday afternoon to be the backup for Jonathan Quick. Dubnyk was once considered the present and future in goal for Edmonton, and he went into the season as the starter. "It hasnt really set in to be honest," Dubnyk said in a teamm statement.dddddddddddd "Its a new opportunity for me and Im really excited to go to Nashville." Struggles early on led to the Oilers signing veteran free agent Ilya Bryzgalov, who was bought out last summer by the Philadelphia Flyers. In 32 games this season, the 27-year-old Dubnyk is 11-17-2 with a 3.36 goals-against average and .894 save percentage. "This organization gave me the best opportunity of a lifetime in the NHL and Im very grateful for that," he added. Dubnyk, set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, is the second Oilers goalie traded this year. They sent Jason LaBarbera to the Chicago Blackhawks last month for future considerations. Hendricks, 32, has two goals and two assists in 44 games this season. He signed a $7.4 million, four-year deal with Nashville in the off-season. Dubnyk enters an uncertain situation with the Predators, who are still without injured franchise goaltender Pekka Rinne. Marek Mazanec and Carter Hutton have split time in goal in Rinnes absence. The Predators have not given a time frame on when they expect Rinne, who has a salary-cap hit of $7 million through the 2018-19 season, to return. ' ' '
