ANAHEIM, Calif. Bradley Beal Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. The NHL-leading Ducks also announced Saturday that goalie Viktor Fasth will miss another 3-4 weeks with muscle inflammation in his lower body. Sbisa and Fasth went on the injured list, and Anaheim recalled goalie Frederik Andersen and defenceman Nolan Yonkman from Norfolk of the AHL. The Ducks recalled defenceman Sami Vatanen from Norfolk on Friday. Sbisa and Fasth had both endured significant injury problems already this season, even before their current woes. Sbisa, who missed the first 15 games of the regular season with an injured ankle, was hurt again during the Ducks 1-0 overtime victory over Tampa Bay on Friday. The Swiss defenceman will have surgery on his wrist Monday. Fasth was expected to start Friday, but the Ducks said he was hurt in warmups. The Swedish goalie missed a month earlier this season with a lower-body injury, limiting him to just five appearances. Andersen made a phenomenal start to his NHL career while filling in for Fasth as Jonas Hillers backup, going 6-1 with a 1.66 goals-against average and .943 save percentage. He was the first goalie in nearly two decades to begin his NHL career with six straight victories. The 32-year-old Yonkman signed with Anaheim in July after playing for Washington, Phoenix and Florida. Anaheim has fought through major injury issues while leading the overall NHL standings for much of the season. Centre Saku Koivu hasnt played since Oct. 27 after getting a concussion. New forward Jakob Silfverberg broke his hand in late October, sidelining him for at least a month after a promising start with the Ducks. Defenceman Sheldon Souray is still out after having surgery on a torn ligament in his right wrist in August. Anaheim, which played at Phoenix on Saturday night, had lost five straight before beating the Lightning. Custom Washington Wizards Jerseys .

Marcin Gortat Jersey . - Andrew McCutchen went 4 for 5 and finished a home run short of a cycle, and Jordy Mercer drove in a career-high four runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-2 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - By midweek, teams have seen the film, made the corrections and installed the new game plan. All of that did nothing to ease John Foxs irritability or Peyton Mannings sense of culpability Wednesday.Both are still smarting from Denvers 22-7 loss at St. Louis in which the Broncos NFL-record streak of 30 consecutive 20-plus-point games was snapped in stunning fashion.Manning stuck to the theme that he was the primary culprit and Fox remained testy over unrelenting criticism of his leaky offensive line.The Broncos league-high 87 penalties include 15 false starts and 14 holds on their O-line, where theyve made four changes already and flirted with signing Richie Incognito.Id remind everybody, were like the No. 2 offence in the National Football League, Fox said. We lead the league — were No. 1 in (fewest) sacks allowed. I think sometimes we lose sight of kind of where we are. Were 7-3. Thats the O-line thats 7-3 as well as the rest of the team.Manning also stood up for the front five that was jumbled two weeks ago with nine-year veteran Will Montgomery going in at centre, Manny Ramirez sliding over to right guard and Louis Vasquez moving to right tackle.I mean, its not easy forming chemistry in just two weeks in the middle of the season, right? What is that, just a handful of practices theyve had together? Manning said. Youd like for an offensive line to have a minicamp and a training camp to go through together, but due to the changes that were made, were having to form that chemistry on the run.Montgomerys head is probably spinning at times. I think hes done a heck of a job and I think Lou has done a heck of a job out there at right tackle and Mannys been really versatile, Manning said. When you do have new players at new spots, everybody else has to play a little better to help those guys. Thats how I feel, and it starts with me.It hasnt helped that left tackle Ryan Clady is dealing with a groin injury.Running back C.J. Anderson said hes tired of his O-line getting ripped.Of course, I take it personally, Anderson said, because I feel like theyre attacking me, also.All those critics dont know whats goingg on, he added. Gilbert Arenas Jersey. . All they know is what they see on Sunday.It hasnt been pretty.Thirty-eight runs so far have resulted in no gain or negative yardage, an indication that the groups footwork is tipping the Broncos hand, and Manning keeps getting sacked on stunts where pass-rushers swoop around untouched.There are good players on the other side of the ball, too, Anderson said. And its not like theyre facing any cupcakes over there. ... Were talking about people who have been good on the other side of the ball for years. So, Im tired of it. The only way you can shut them up is to go out and execute this weekend.The task gets no easier Sunday when the Miami Dolphins (6-4) visit Denver with another stout pass rush led by Cameron Wake.Yeah, it seems like every week weve got dialed-up challenges, Montgomery said. We feel were a really good team also, so we feel like we werent executing at our best last week and weve got to change that. I feel like when we execute well, were hard to beat.A glimmer of hope came Wednesday when tight end Virgil Green (calf) returned to practice. Denvers slide has coincided with his three-game absence and the Broncos have sorely missed his physicality in their blocking schemes.Virg, he loves what he does. Hes just so strong and so physical. So, bringing him back is a big help, Anderson said.Champ Bailey, who retired Tuesday, said he believes the Broncos will figure things out up front and find a way to get back on the Super Bowl Express.Its happened at the right time, not in the playoffs, Bailey said. This league, its about as tight as it gets. I swear, six or seven weeks ago, youre talking about Seattle is the best thing youve ever seen. Now, what do you think?Notes: Dolphins coach Joe Philbin artfully dodged a question about whether Incognito, who was suspended last year for bullying a teammate in Miami, deserves another chance to play in the NFL. I think Denver has a great front office and a great personnel staff and they have to certainly make decisions that are best for their football team, Philbin said.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ;Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
