The Edmonton Oilers retooled their goaltending on Wednesday, trading Devan Dubnyk to the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Matt Hendricks
and acquiring goaltender Ben Scrivens from the Los Angeles Kings for a
2014 third-round pick.
Juan
Mata Jersey . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club
since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move
also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together
with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. The Kings acquired Scrivens,
along with Matt Frattin and a second-round draft pick, from the Maple Leafs last
summer in a trade that saw goaltender Jonathan Bernier sent to Toronto. The
Spruce Grove, AB, native - who will become an unrestricted free agent this
summer - has seven wins in 19 games this season. With the trade, the Kings
called up goaltender Martin Jones from Manchester of the AHL on Wednesday
afternoon to be the backup for Jonathan Quick. Dubnyk was once considered the
present and future in goal for Edmonton, and he went into the season as the
starter. "It hasnt really set in to be honest," Dubnyk said in a team statement.
"Its a new opportunity for me and Im really excited to go to Nashville."
Struggles early on led to the Oilers signing veteran free agent Ilya Bryzgalov,
who was bought out last summer by the Philadelphia Flyers. In 32 games this
season, the 27-year-old Dubnyk is 11-17-2 with a 3.36 goals-against average and
.894 save percentage. "This organization gave me the best opportunity of a
lifetime in the NHL and Im very grateful for that," he added. Dubnyk, set to be
an unrestricted free agent this summer, is the second Oilers goalie traded this
year. They sent Jason LaBarbera to the Chicago Blackhawks last month for future
considerations. Hendricks, 32, has two goals and two assists in 44 games this
season. He signed a $7.4 million, four-year deal with Nashville in the
off-season. Dubnyk enters an uncertain situation with the Predators, who are
still without injured franchise goaltender Pekka Rinne. Marek Mazanec and
Carter Hutton have split time in goal in Rinnes absence. The Predators have not
given a time frame on when they expect Rinne, who has a salary-cap hit of $7
million through the 2018-19 season, to return.

that Morata signed a five-year contract with the club. The deal also includes an
option for Madrid to buy Morata back for up to (euro)30 million ($40.

facing the Oakland Athletics yet again, with another new team.ABBOTSFORD, B.C.
-- Benn Ferrieros familiar with scoring important goals, just not in
back-to-back games. Ferriero scored the overtime goal for the second-straight
night to lift the Utica Comets to a 4-3 win over the Abbotsford Heat in American
Hockey League action Saturday. "Ive never scored two in a row like that, but Ive
scored a couple OT winners in my career in college and pro," said Ferriero. "It
feels good to help the team like that." Ferriero took advantage of Chris Breens
broken stick at the Abbotsford blue-line, burst past the lone defender and
buried a slap shot top corner on goalie Joey MacDonald. "They had a good rush
going there but they got a little unlucky when (Breen) broke his stick," said
Ferriero. "I saw there was the one D man that I thought I could catch. (Yann)
Sauve made a great pass to me. Im pretty happy about that one." The 26-year-old
right-winger is red-hot. Besides also scoring the only goal in Fridays 1-0 win
against the Heat, he has five goals in as many games and 10 points during an
eight-game point streak. After signing with the Vancouver Canucks in the summer,
hes played just two games for the Comets NHL affiliate. Even though Abbotsford
is in the Canucks backyard -- just an hour east -- he thinks his consistency
will be what gets him back the sports top level. "Youve got (their presence) in
the back of your head, but you cant control anything, except how you play out
there," said Ferriero, who has 31 points in 39 games this season. "This year Im
really trying to work on consistency and bringing it every single night." Alex
Grenier scored twice for the Comets, but like Ferriero, he says he doesnt like
to dwell on that either. "Maybe a little, its a bit different, but youve got to
concentrate and play your game," said Grenier, Vancouvers 2011 third-round
choice. "Theyre not looking for guys who are better here than anywhere else. We
just give it everything and hope its enough." Brandon DeFazio had the other
Comets goal, while Pascal Pelletier had two assists for Utica (15-20-5), which
has won four straight. "It was a real tight game, tight-checking, feisty," said
Ferriero. "We knew coming in, since we beat them a couple times in a row. Thhey
pushed back and responded from the beginning.
Zlatan
Ibrahimovic Manchester Jersey. ." Joacim Eriksson made 23 saves in the
win. Max Reinhart and Markus Granlund each had a goal and an assist for
Abbotsford (26-14-4) and Brett Olson also scored. MacDonald made 35 saves in the
losing effort, though his coach says he doesnt blame him for the overtime goal.
"The game-winning goal was a great goal," said Heat head coach Troy Ward. "That
would have gone in in the NHL. That was a goal-scorers goal. He had one intent,
and that was to shoot it as hard as he could. He did that, and I give that guy a
lot of credit." The Comets opened the scoring 2:05 into the game. After a lively
dump into the Abbotsford zone, Jordan Schroeder chipped the puck to the front of
the net where DeFazio swept it past MacDonald with a backhander for his fifth of
the season. Granlund, however, evened the score with a power-play goal at 7:42.
He took a feed from Reinhart and beat Eriksson with a wrist shot glove side for
his 17th of the year. Despite failing to score on a two-man advantage earlier in
the second period, the Comets regained the lead at 7:51. Pelletier chipped the
puck in front, where Grenier turned and quickly beat MacDonald blocker side for
his 14th of the season. "Pelletier made really nice plays to me," said Grenier,
"I was fortunate to be there but Pascal made all the plays there." The Heat drew
even at 10:52 while killing a penalty for too many men. Granlund fanned on his
shot attempt on a two-on-two rush, but Reinhart redirected the puck past the
Comets netminder for his ninth of the season. Olson scored at 7:18 to give the
Heat their first lead of the night. Olsons forecheck pressured Yann Sauve into
coughing up the puck at the face-off dot. Olson pounced, walked in on Eriksson
and went short side for his seventh of the year and his first point in 14 games.
The Comets, however, evened the score at 11:13. Pelletier forced John Ramage to
give it up behind the net and Grenier was there to bury his second of the game.
Then, at 1:10 of overtime Ferriero netted the winner. "That was an unbelievable
shot, one of the best Ive ever seen," said Grenier. "Im really happy for Benny.
Hes been one of our key players for the season."
