DALLAS -- When the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Dallas Stars meet Saturday night at American Airlines center, they will do so coming off distinctively different results earlier in the week. Bayern Munich Jerseys .Columbus (1-2-0) got its first win of the season Friday night, defeating the Chicago Blackhawks, 3-2 at Nationwide Arena, the perfect way to leave town to start a four-game road trip.We needed this one, Columbus forward Nick Foligno told the Columbus Dispatch. We needed to win at home. This has got to be a tough place for people to come into, and we didnt make it tough enough on the first two opponents. We had a whole week to think about it and really let it stew. There were a lot of guys with a little bit of a chip on the shoulder tonight.Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 32 of 34 shots for the Jackets to earn his first win of the season.But the Columbus netminder was quick to credit his teammates for those two points.I thought we played great, Bobrovsky told Fox Sports Ohio. We started really good. We put lots of shots on net. We just went after them. It was fun to watch. We played with some confidence, it was a great game.However, this win came with a notable asterisk as defenseman Ryan Murray left the game in the first period with an upper-body injury and did not return. Columbus coach John Tortorella said postgame that Murray likely wouldnt travel with the team, meaning either Scott Harrington or Dalton Prout will replace Murray at the blueline.Columbus also recalled forward Sonny Milano, the 16th pick in the 2014 draft after the game. Milano, 20, has three games of NHL experience from a stint in Columbus last spring.Tortorella would not name a starting goaltender for Saturdays game following the win against Chicago, meaning he could go with Bobrovsky for a second straight night or give the nod to Curtis McElhinney, which would be his first action of the season.Dallas (2-1-1) heads into Saturdays game still stewing a bit over a disappointing 4-3 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday, a rough way to start a three-game homestand.We didnt win enough puck battles, we didnt get above the puck, we didnt play well enough defensively to win a hockey game, Stars coach Lindy Ruff said of the loss to the Kings after practice on Friday.The Stars lost two forwards to injury in that game, Patrick Eaves and Patrick Sharp. Eaves picked up a lower-body injury late in the second period and did not return for the third period while Sharp experienced concussion-like symptoms after a hard hit into the boards during the second period.Ruff said Eaves might be able to play on Saturday but said Sharp was placed on injured reserve and will not.One player who will be returning to the ice for Dallas on Saturday is veteran forward Ales Hemsky, who will likely make his season debut against the Blue Jackets.Hemsky has missed the first four games recovering from a groin issue he picked up during training camp. And after skating for the past few weeks, he is happy to say he now feels ready to return.Definitely feel better, I feel stronger, Hemsky said after practice on Friday. Again, I had a good week and hopefully Im ready for a game. So well see what theyre thinking and what will happen tomorrow (Saturday).Ruff also has a decision to make in net of whether to start Kari Lehtonen, who largely performed well in the loss to the Kings or go back to Antti Niemi? Both veteran goalies have started two games thus far. Jerome Boateng Jersey . The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league season, has said hed like to play the outfield. Yankees manager Joe Girardi says hes thinking about allowing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros. Sandro Wagner Jersey . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. http://www.fcmunichpro.com/Kids-Thomas-Muller-Jersey/ . Vokoun departed practice on Saturday morning after discovering swelling in his thigh. He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Forward Chandler Parsons and the Dallas Mavericks will definitely part ways after two seasons together, a source told ESPN.No chance, the source said when asked if there were any possibility that Parsons re-signs with the Mavs.The divorce comes after the Mavs made it clear they had no intention to offer a maximum contract to Parsons, whose two seasons in Dallas both ended prematurely due to surgeries on his right knee.?Parsons expects to sign a max deal and said as much during a recent question-and-answer session with fans on Twitter. A max contract for Parsons with the Mavs, who own his early Bird rights, would have been worth $98.8 million over four years. Other teams can offer him $94.8 million over four years.Parsons will meet with a Portland Trail Blazers contingent including Damian Lillard in Los Angeles when free agency officially begins at 12:01 a.m. ET Friday, according to league sources. The Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic are among suitors for Parsons, sources said.Mavs owner Mark Cuban attempted to talk Parsons, his partner in last summers ultimately unsuccessful attempt to recruit center DeAndre Jordan to Dallas, into opting into the final season of the three-year, $46 million deal the forward signed after spending his first three seasons with the Houston Rockets. Sources said Parsons never seriously considered picking up the option, confident that he would receive a significant raise and long-term deal this summer, with versatile, playmaking forwards in high demand and short supply.The Mavs responded by planning to put Parsons on the back burner to begin free agency, which made Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley and Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside their top targets. The Mavs will meet with Conley and Whiteside on the first day of free agency, according to sources.The Mavs have a meeting scheduled with Charlotte Hornets small forward Nicolas Baatum, a source told The Undefeateds Marc J. Serge Gnabry Jersey. Spears. Batum is high on the list of Dallas contingency plans if the team doesnt sign Conley or Whiteside, though his price tag could be higher than Parsons, as Batum is eligible for a higher tier of max contract (five years, $153 million from the Hornets or four years, $113.6 million from other suitors).Cuban had consistently described Parsons as a foundation piece, but sources said Dallas decision-makers reached a consensus that they werent willing to offer him a max deal.Parsons averaged 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during his two-year tenure in Dallas but was able to play in only one playoff game because of his knee injuries.Parsons, 27, had hybrid microfracture surgery on the knee in spring 2015, and the rehab from that operation lasted well into the 2015-16 season. The arthroscopic operation Parsons underwent to address a torn meniscus in the knee this spring wasnt nearly as serious as the previous surgery.Sources said multiple renowned orthopedic specialists have given Parsons clearance to resume full basketball activities and expressed optimism that his knee will not prevent him from having a long, productive NBA career.Parsons averaged 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 61 games last seasons, statistics skewed by a slow start as he dealt with strict minutes restrictions. He had the best statistical stretch of his five-year career in the two months before his season ended, with averages of 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent from 3-point range and proving he could thrive at power forward in addition to small forward.ESPNs Marc Stein and The Undefeateds Marc J.
