BUFFALO, N. Cheap Jordan 5 NZ .Y. - New York Islanders coach Jack Capuano had no choice but to have faith in younger players after star forward John Tavares was lost to a season-ending knee injury. Brock Nelson and fellow rookies delivered down the stretch and provided a glimpse at a brighter future for the Islanders, who head into the off-season after missing the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years. Nelson scored with 3:44 remaining to force overtime, and then netted the lone shootout goal in a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday night in a season-ending matchup of non-playoff teams. The Islanders (34-37-11) won by rallying from a 2-0 deficit and closed the season by winning three straight and eight of 12 (8-2-2). "These kids have played extremely hard, and Im proud of what theyve done not only in the last month and a half, but these last three games," Capuano said. "They really stuck together." The future looks even better after Capuano reiterated that Tavares is on track in his recovery from a left knee injury and should be ready to begin training in the summer. There is much more work to do in Buffalo. Torrey Mitchell, Jamie McBain and Matt Ellis scored for the Sabres (21-51-10), who had already clinched the NHLs worst record. The Sabres went 0-6-1 in their final seven games. With 150 goals scored, Buffalo set the NHL-low in the leagues post-expansion era that began in 1967. The previous low was 151 by Tampa Bay in 1997-98. "The standard has to be set a little bit higher than it was," Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. "Well address that starting with the meetings (Monday)." Nelson, an Islanders first-round pick in the 2010 draft, was eager to show what potential the teams youngsters possess. "We knew we had a young group and a lot of rookies," said Nelson, who topped the Islanders rookie class with 14 goals and 26 points. "We wanted to go out there and give it everything we had every night. I think we were able to do that." Nelson scored the lone shootout goal on the Islanders second shot. He snapped a shot that rookie Connor Knapp got a piece of with his stick. But there was enough backspin for the puck to dribble in. Anders Nilsson stopped 36 shots through overtime and all three he faced in the shootout. Nilsson clinched the victory by using his glove to sweep away a puck that got away from Ville Leino as he drove to the net. Anders Lee, a recent call up, scored twice in a game the Islanders never led until the final score. The Sabres bookended their season with long droughts. Buffalo got off to a 2-13-1 start, and ended with a 2-16-2 skid. "This is our job and we failed. So its definitely salt in the wound," forward Marcus Foligno said. "I guess when it rains it pours, and you really just got to keep putting your head down and moving forward." Though both teams rosters were depleted by injuries, the Islanders fill-ins proved to be better. Down 2-0, Lee scored both his goals in a span of 3:40, bridging the second intermission, to tie it 17 seconds into the third period. Mitchell put the Sabres ahead by deflecting in Rasmus Ristolainens shot 10:09 into the third, before Nelson scored the equalizer. Using Ristolainen as a screen, Nelson snapped in 40-foot shot over Knapps left shoulder. The only thing on the line for the Islanders was where they would finish in the overall standings. The win pushed them into 26th place, two points ahead of Calgary. There is a Sabres tie-in for the Islanders connected to a trade in which Buffalo sent Thomas Vanek to New York for Matt Moulson and a first-round draft pick in one of the next two drafts. The Islanders have until June 1 to determine whether to give up their selection this year or hold off. NOTES: The Sabres 21 wins are the fewest in an 80-plus-game season, and rank second fewest behind Buffalos 16-43-19 finish in 1971-72. Buffalo matched the 21 wins it had in the lockout-shortened season last year. Their 51 regulation losses are the most ever. ... The Islanders went 21-18-2 on the road for their best finish since going 21-15-3-2 in 2001-02. ...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos are content to wait for running backs Montee Ball and C.J. Anderson to heal. Coach John Fox said Saturday he doesnt plan to bring in any free agent running backs in light of Balls appendectomy or Andersons concussion. "We are always looking to improve the team. That goes on 24/7, 365, really, but right now there is nothing pressing," Fox said. "We feel pretty good about the group we have." That group includes just one back whos ever played in an NFL game, Ronnie Hillman, plus three undrafted free agents in Juwan Thompson, Brennan Clay and Kapri Bibbs and first-year pro Jerodis Williams, who played for Minnesota in last years preseason. Anderson, third on the depth chart, is being treated under the conditions of the NFLs concussion protocol after getting knocked from Denvers 21-16 win over Seattle on Thursday night. He was sent home from the Broncos complex Saturday. "He had little headaches, which is very normal at this stage," Fox said. Ball returned to the Broncos sideline five days after undergoing his appendectomy and said he was feeling good but didnt know when hed be back in full pads. Ball said he expects to begin running next week, although the Broncos dont plan on using him until the season opener Sept. 7 against Indianapolis. "We saw plenty of him a year ago and saw plenty of him in the off-season," Fox explained. Ball said he awoke at 2:30 a.m. Monday with a sharp pain in his right side. He was under the knife 12 hours later. He said hes lost six pounds, dropping to 209, but is starting to regain flexibility in his trunk. Ball called his operation a &quoot;quick, painless procedure," but said it "restricted a lot of my movement early on. Air Jordan 5 Wholesale NZ. I feel great now. Right now Im able to move around but Ill listen to the training staff and my body and Ill come back stronger." Ball said he felt fortunate the appendicitis announced itself now, before it could burst and before the Broncos get into games that count. "Obviously, its great that it happened now than in September. Very unfortunate situation for me but right now Im looking up and feeling great and I get to do some running next week," Ball said. The Broncos are counting on Ball, who ran for 559 yards and four touchdowns last year as Knowshon Morenos backup, to help them balance out their pass-heavy offence as the starter in 2014. Ball said he has no timetable for his return to full pads, saying, "Im just listening to my body and listening to our great training staff. ... No reason to rush." He added that he appreciated all the people that visited him in the hospital, including his position coach, Eric Studesville, and Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis. Asked if Ellis brought him cards and candy, Ball said, "No, just some wise words that I needed to hear. He just said, Were praying for you, were all looking out for you if you need anything. Thats what helped me out a lot." Notes: WR Emmanuel Sanders (thigh) was held out of the morning practice. Sanders didnt practice Tuesday but started against Seattle, logging 20 snaps. ... DE Malik Jackson was excused for personal reasons. ... DE Chase Vaughn (right knee), DE Greg Latta (right hip) and CB Louis Young (groin) were held out again. ' ' ' |
