The San Jose Sharks confirmed on Tuesday that centre Logan Couture will undergo surgery on an upper-body injury, suspected to be his hand as reported by TSN
Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
Wayne Chrebet Jets Jersey . "For the past several weeks, Logan has been dealing and playing with an upper body injury,"
said general manager Doug Wilson in a statement. "Despite his efforts to play
through it, the injury has not responded as we had hoped and Logan has made the
decision to undergo a surgical procedure to repair the problem. "While the
timing of the procedure is not ideal, Logan feels it is in his and the teams
best interest to get the problem rectified now. Logan will undergo surgery on
Wednesday and we will have a better update on the recovery time following the
procedure." In 43 games with the Sharks this season, Couture has 14 goals and 34
points.

Irving Fryar Patriots Jersey . Braden Calverts Winnipeg rink rallied to defeat Italy 8-7. After giving up three points
in the second end, Calvert came back with a single, then stole two more points
in the next two ends to tie it up at the fifth-end break. INDIANAPOLIS -- After
Philadelphias latest loss gave the 76ers their longest skid in franchise
history, coach Brett Brown insisted he doesnt dwell on the streak.
Lance Stephenson scored 25 points and the Indiana Pacers rallied from an early
deficit to beat Philadelphia 99-90 on Monday night, handing the 76ers their 21st
straight loss. "Its hard because of a competitive thing, but in relation to
worrying about a record, we dont live in that world," Brown said. "I dont bring
that to that locker room once. I dont mention it to them, I dont think about it
often -- (but) you cant help but be aware of it." Philadelphia eclipsed its
previous mark of 20 straight losses during the 1972-73 season, when it finished
9-73. The Sixers tied the Detroit Pistons for the sixth-longest losing streak in
NBA history. The Pistons lost 21 straight bridging the 1979-80 and 1980-81
seasons. The Cleveland Cavaliers set the NBA record for consecutive losses with
26, in the 2010-11 season. "We move on. Were on a different path right now,"
Brown said. "We started this season with a plan, we took it to a whole other
level to reconfirm our plan on trade deadline night." Paul George had 24 points
for the Pacers, who staked the Sixers to a 15-6 lead before taking the lead and
pulling away. George Hill scored 11 points, Ian Mahinmi had 10 and David West
grabbed 12 rebounds. Thaddeus Young had 23 points to lead the Sixers, who havent
won since Jan. 29 at Boston. Evan Turner, now with the Pacers, hit the
game-winning shot in that 95-94 win by Philadelphia. Turner, traded to Indiana
with Lavoy Allen on Feb. 20 for Danny Granger and a draft pick, had four points
and seven rebounds against his former team on Monday. Hollis Thompson and
Tony Wroten each scored 17, Michael Carter-Williams had 15 points and 13
rebounds, and Henry Sims had nine points and 11 rebounds for the Sixers, who
next host Chicago on Wednesday night. Philadelphia built its 15-6 first-quarter
lead by shooting 6 for 9 from the field, including 3 for 4 on 3-pointers, while
the Pacers were 3 for 9 in the same stretch. "(These teams) are the ones that
pose the biggest threat, because for us, weve got to get motivated," Indianas
Paul George said. "All these games are huge for us because every game counts."
But Indiana closed the quarter on a 15-9 run to pull to 24-21. Mahinmis rrebound
and dunk off a miss by Luis Scola miss gave the Pacers a 27-26 lead with 9:50 to
play in the second quarter, their first lead since 2-0.
Jim Plunkett Raiders Jersey. The second quarter saw seven lead changes and seven ties, the last on a jumper by
Carter-Williams that tied the score at 48 with 2:11 to play. Hill hit a
3-pointer to put Indiana up 51-48, George dunked, then hit a free throw after a
technical on Byron Mullens for kicking the ball after he fouled Stephenson.
Stephenson hit both free throws to give the Pacers a 56-48 lead. Indiana led
58-50 at halftime. But the Pacers, who shot 13 for 21 in the second quarter,
went cold in the third. Indiana was just 6 of 27 from the floor in the third,
giving Philadelphia a chance. "It was a tough game. We just didnt have a whole
lot of pop," Indianas David West said. "They came out in the third quarter with
more energy." Young pulled the Sixers to 62-61 on a 3-pointer, then put them
ahead 63-62 on a fadeaway jumper. West hit a free throw to tie the game, but a
lane violation wiped out his second attempt. Mahinmi broke the tie with two free
throws with 3:39 to play in the third. Indianas lead was 67-65 when George and
Hill hit consecutive 3-pointers to extend the lead to eight. Young scored to
make it 73-67, but West put back a miss by Hill to take a 75-67 lead into the
fourth quarter. The Sixers closed to 88-85, but Carter-Williams missed a
potential tying 3-pointer with 2:15 remaining. Hill answered on the other end
with a 3-pointer to give Indiana a 91-85 lead with 1:56 to play. Hill then stole
Carter-Williams pass and Roy Hibbert completed a three-point play at the other
end for a 94-85 advantage. "We were there," Brown said. "I think its a great
example and learning lesson for Michael Carter-Williams, leaving the corner,
George Hill hits a 3, its a 3-point game." NOTES: Pacers C Andrew Bynum (knee)
sat out the game and is day-to-day. Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Bynum had an
MRI on Monday. "Well know more in the next couple of days," Vogel said before
the game. Bynum has played in just two games since the Pacers signed him on Feb.
