SAN JOSE, Calif.
http://www.francenationalshop.com/Customized/ . -- The San Jose Sharks knew it would take some time to see the benefits of the deal two years ago to acquire James Sheppard from Minnesota. After spending most of his first year in San Jose rehabbing from a serious leg injury, Sheppard completed his two-year journey back to the NHL in January and showed flashes of why the Wild drafted him in the first round in 2006. The Sharks re-signed Sheppard to a one-year deal on Wednesday that prevents him from becoming a restricted free agent next month as they hope to build on that progress even more this upcoming season. "When you see a guy go through adversity and a challenge like this it does reveal his character," general manager Doug Wilson said. "But this is a kid who was a very highly drafted player and a very talented player. I think his best hockey is now ahead of him. ... Now I think youll see him flourish. Were not even going to put a limit on where he can get to." The Sharks also signed Andrew Desjardins to a two-year contract. Both forwards could have been restricted free agents July 5 if they had not reached deals. "Im very happy to have both these guys signed," Wilson said. "They play the way were looking for our team to play." The Sharks originally acquired Sheppard in August 2011 from the Wild for a 2013 third-round draft pick. Sheppard had been suspended the previous season by Minnesota after suffering a career-threatening leg injury from an off-season ATV accident. Sheppard played four minor league games his first season with the Sharks but got more time at Worcester during the lockout last season. He made his debut with San Jose on Jan. 22 and had one goal and three assists in 32 regular season games. He had no points in 11 playoff games but showed the Sharks enough for them to want him back next season. "It was such an intricate injury that Im not going to be 100 per cent maybe ever but Im always getting closer and closer," Sheppard said. "The more time passes the better I feel and the stronger I feel. ... I still expect to play better and I have more goals for myself that I want to accomplish." Desjardins had two goals and one assist and 61 penalty minutes in 42 games last season playing mostly on the fourth line. He won 54.2 per cent of his faceoffs and got significant time on a much-improved penalty kill unit. Desjardins, 26, was the teams rookie of the year the previous season when he had four goals and 13 assists. Desjardins has had an impressive journey since starting his professional career playing in Laredo, Texas, in the Central Hockey League. "Hes never been given anything," Wilson said. "He fought, scratched and clawed and earned respect of his teammates. Hes a tough kid. Hes really the type of guy you want on your team. He does all the things that matter, faceoffs, PK, hell block shots, certainly skate, hell battle anybody and stand up for his teammates. Hes the type of kid who has really earned his place on this team." Wilson has been busy this off-season since the Sharks were eliminated in seven games in the second round by the Los Angeles Kings. He agreed to a five-year contract extension with star centre Logan Couture to keep him off the market next summer. That deal wont be official until July 5. Wilson also signed potential unrestricted free agent forward Raffi Torres to a $6 million, three-year deal and extended the contract of head coach Todd McLellan. San Jose still has two more potential restricted free agents in forward TJ Galiardi and defenceman Jason Demers. Forwards Scott Gomez and Tim Kennedy, defenceman Scott Hannan, and backup goalies Thomas Greiss and Alex Stalock are among the potential unrestricted free agents.

MONTREAL -- Even without kick return star Chad Owens, the Toronto Argonauts found a way to pull off a spectacular win. Down 23-8 midway through the third quarter, the defending Grey Cup champions roared back for a 37-30 victory over the Montreal Alouettes to retain sole possession of first place in the CFL East Division on Sunday afternoon. The win on a blustery day before 23,911 at Percival Molson Stadium stopped a two-game losing run and avenged a 20-9 loss to the Alouettes in Toronto on Tuesday. The Argos (6-4) stayed two points ahead of Hamilton (5-5) and four ahead of Montreal (4-6). "Nobody gave us a chance," said Argonauts coach Scott Milanovich. "We had our backup quarterback, our third-string running back, Chad Owens is out. "We talked about it being a character day for us. Not so much a statement day, but lets see what kind of character we have when everybody thinks were not good enough. Thats what Im proud of. I told them after the game that there wont be another time all season that they doubt that they can win a game." Both teams were missing key offensive players, which may be why there were no offensive touchdowns in the torturous first half of a game that only sprang to life in the final 22 minutes. Zach Collaros, filling in while starter Ricky Ray recovers from a shoulder injury, ran in a touchdown and threw to John Chiles and Dontrelle Inman for two others. He completed 30 passes for 336 yards, with one interception. Defensive tackle Kiante Tripp also scored on an interception, and kicker Noel Prefontaine missed three field-goal attempts but added two field goals and four singles. Montreal rookie quarterback Tanner Marsh, in his second start while Anthony Calvillo deals with a concussion, threw a TD pass to Duron Carter and ran one in himself, while defensive back Geoff Tisdale also scored. But Marsh struggled to move the ball, completing only 13-of-28 passes for 225 yards. He was picked off three times, while Toronto had another pick on a failed trick-play pass by slotback S.J. Green. "We have to do a better job of helping Marsh, but you have to give them credit," said Montreal coach Jim Popp. "They confused him some today. "But at the end -- and hes done it a number of times -- he gave us a chance to win. He got us all the way down there. You cant ask for more." Both teams were missing their starting quarterbacks, running backs and a top receiver, with Ray, Chad Kackert and Owens out for Toronto and Calvillo, Brandon Whitaker and Jamel Richardson among a long list of starters down for Montreal. It came down to the defences. And for just over half the game, Montreals was dominant. The Alouettees got on the board early when John Bowman stripped the ball from Chiles and Tisdale ran it back 47 yards to score at 1:24.

Montreals Sean Whyte added three field goals, while Toronto picked up five points on kicks for a 16-5 Montreal lead at the intermission. Midway through the third quarter, Bear Woods tackled Prefontaine on a punt attempt, forcing a fumble that Ed Gainey ran to the one. Marsh scored on his first attempt at 8:02 and the Alouettes looked to have the game in the bag. The Argos answered back with Collaros 21-yard TD run at 9:22. Less than two minutes later, Jermaine Gabriel hit Marsh as he was throwing and the ball squirted to Tripp, who ran it in 54 yards for a TD. On their next possession, Chiles was left wide open for a 54-yard TD reception at 13:31 and Toronto had its first lead of the day at 28-23. "Tripps touchdown was the game changer," said Milanovich. "It got us to within one score and you could just feel the momentum shift on the sideline." The lead didnt last long, as Marsh hit Carter with a 45-yard scoring toss on the opening play of the fourth quarter. Toronto tied it on a pair of Prefontaine singles and took a seven-point lead when Collaros found Inman with a five-yard TD pass with 1:17 left to play. Montreal marched back to the Toronto 11, but a last-gasp pass was picked off in the end zone by Alonzo Lawrence. Collaros said the game turned when the Argonauts beat Montreals ferocious pass rush a couple of times in the third quarter, which gave them space to make plays. "Thats why the third quarter was so big because we burned them a couple of times on their pressure," he said. "It kind of scared them off a bit and we were able to have a little more time to execute things." Popp would have no argument for that. "They made plays and we didnt," he said. "They made adjustments at halftime. "Our defence was outstanding in the first half, but we werent doing much on offence. We didnt move the ball much. We didnt help our defence. We need to be better. We were fortunate they missed field goals." The Argos defence held Montreal back Jerome Messam to only 12 yards on seven carries and limited Marshs scrambling. Toronto tailback Jerious Norwood picked up 42 yards on 11 carries in his debut. Notes: Bowman had a pair of first-half sacks to tie Anwar Stewart for Montreals career record of 66. ... Each team had five sacks in the game. . . Toronto has won both its games in Montreal this season. . .
