lot of fun just thinking about what could happen."

The Calgary Flames took advantage of an extended break to work on their scuffling power play. Wholesale Jordans . Theyll see if the extra practice pays off Thursday night in a matchup with the Arizona Coyotes, one of the leagues worst teams at killing penalties. The Flames (22-18-3) have been off since opening a five-game road swing leading into the All-Star break with Saturdays 1-0 win over Vancouver that snapped a three-game skid. Mikael Backlund scored and Joni Ortio made 36 saves in his first start of the season after being recalled by Calgary two days earlier. With four days off, the Flames got a chance to return home and take a break from the grind of the schedule. Its a time to get some mental and physical rest, but at the same time, we cant be complacent, coach Bob Hartley told the teams official website. Hartley and his coaching staff spent extra time examining their brutal play with the extra skater. The Flames are 1 for 14 with the man advantage in 2015 and have converted a league-worst 8.9 percent of power plays (4 for 45) since Dec. 12. Over the past two or three weeks, weve hit a speed bump, Hartley said. It comes in waves and thats what were facing. Ive talked to many coaches over the past weeks like I always do, about my power play, thats where were searching for solutions. A simple solution may be facing the Coyotes (16-22-4). Arizona has killed a Western Conference-worst 74.5 percent of its penalties and has allowed eight power-play goals in 25 chances during a 2-4-0 stretch. The Flames have won all three matchups with the Coyotes this season, scoring twice with the extra skater. Rookie center Josh Jooris notched his first career hat trick in the last matchup with Arizona, a 5-2 win Dec. 2. Jiri Hudler assisted on two of those goals and has one goal and five assists in the season series. The Coyotes, whose 3.26 goals-against average is among the worst in the NHL, head into the finale of a six-game homestand after Tuesdays 3-2 loss to San Jose. The Sharks broke a 2-all tie in the third period on a shot that bounced off Arizona defenseman Zbynek Michaleks skate and squeezed through Devan Dubnyks pads. You hate to lose on a goal like that, especially because I thought we battled hard, Michalek told the Coyotes official website. You feel like whatever you do, nothing goes your way. We just have to fight through it. Weve said it many times. Nobody is going to give us anything for free. The Coyotes traded Dubnyk, who had been their most consistent goalie with a 9-5-2 record, 2.72 goals-against average and .916 save percentage, to Minnesota for a third-round draft pick in 2015 on Wednesday. That leaves Mike Smith, who has struggled with a 7-17-2 mark, 3.52 GAA and .885 save percentage, to carry the load. One positive for Arizona is Mikkel Boedker breaking out of his scoring slump. Boedker has four goals in the last three games after going without one in the previous 11 contests. The Coyotes leader with 13 goals, Boedker has one assist against Calgary this season. Calgary will start Ortio again after his stellar debut and Karri Ramo, working his way back from injury, will travel with the team. Cheap Air Jordan Free Shipping .C. United to a 4-1 victory over short-handed FC Dallas on Saturday night. Air Jordan Clearance . -- Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer will be out three to six weeks with a stress fracture of the third finger of his right hand.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The long wait through an inning in which the Chicago White Sox were backing him with six runs might have damaged John Danks no-hit chances, but he wasnt complaining. "Trust me, youll never hear me complain about six runs in an inning," Danks said after his first win in nearly two months, a 10-5 decision over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. Brandon Guyers one-out double in the sixth was Tampa Bays first hit off Danks. "Hell take it, Im sure," manager Robin Ventura said. "All things considered, youd rather have a six-run inning than take your chances going out there trying to throw a no-hitter." It wasnt until Avisail Garcias second home run of the game had sparked a six-run inning for a 10-0 lead that Danks gave up his first hit -- and two runs. "Ive been there before," Danks said. "I cant go out there and walk the leadoff hitter like I did. That kind of set the inning off. It wasnt a terrible pitch to Guyer, I believe, but I kind of dug my own grave on that one." Winning for the first time in 10 starts, Danks (10-11) gave up two runs on two hits in six innings. Guyers double came after a walk to Curt Casali and a strikeout. But the White Sox had built a huge llead by then, and the only challenge Danks had left was the pursuit of a no-hitter. Cheap Air Jordan Authentic. "Anyone who says they dont know whats going on is lying to you," Danks said. "Its a lot of fun just thinking about what could happen." Garcias first homer started a four-run second inning against Nathan Karns (1-1) during which Marcus Semien added a three-run homer. Garcia had three of Chicagos 12 hits, including his sixth and seventh home runs of the season, while Semien and Jordan Danks each had two hits. "I think it was a case of Avisail Garcia, the bat in his hand. That was our problem," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. The White Sox followed Garcias second homer with four more hits, including Alexei Ramirezs two-run double off reliever Alex Colome. Rookie Jose Abreu drove in Ramirez with a single for his 105th RBI. TRAINERS ROOM White Sox: 1B Paul Konerko was out the lineup for the second straight day, but Ventura said it is not related to the broken hand that kept him out two weeks. UP NEXT White Sox: RHP Chris Bassitt (0-1) and Detroit LHP Kyle Lobstein (1-0) are the scheduled starters Monday night. ... LHP Chris Sales final start will be Wednesday at Detroit. Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike Basketball Jerseys Hockey Jerseys China Supply Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Sale Authentic College Jerseys MLB Jerseys China Stitched Soccer Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Jerseys ' ' '
