NHL NOTEBOOK Broken jaw benches Capitals’ LaingARLINGTON, Va. — The Washington Capitals expect left wing Quintin Laing to miss up to six weeks with a broken jaw Laing was hurt in Tuesday’s win over the New York Rangers. He had metal plates inserted into his jaw during surgery. Meanwhile, left wing Alexander Semin missed the Rangers game with a right wrist injury and was wearing a brace on his wrist Wednesday. An MRI exam revealed no serious damage. Goaltender Jose Theodore was at practice after missing Tuesday’s game due to personal matters, but his status is uncertain for Friday’s game against Montreal. Alex Ovechkin also practiced, showing no obvious effects from the injury that caused him to miss six games. The two-time reigning league MVP scored a goal Tuesday in his first game back. Another Penguin out PITTSBURGH — The injury-thinned Pittsburgh Penguins are down another player. Defenseman Jay McKee has an infected finger that will keep him out two to four weeks. He was hurt late in Pittsburgh’s 5-2 win over Anaheim on Monday, and is the fifth of the team’s top six defensemen to be sidelined since late October. The Penguins, already playing with three defensemen from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, may not have to recall another because Sergei Gonchar is expected to return Thursday night in Ottawa. Gonchar, one of the point men on the power play, has missed 12 games with a broken left wrist. Forward Max Talbot, who scored both Penguins goals in a 2-1 victory over Detroit in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, also could play when they open a three-game trip in Ottawa. Talbot had surgery in July to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Wild call up winger ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota has recalled right wing Danny Irmen from their farm team. Irmen was playing for Houston in the AHL. The 25-year-old has six goals, including two game-winners, and four assists in 17 games for the Aeros this season. The native of Fargo, N.D., and former University of Minnesota star was a third-round draft pick by the Wild in 2003. He has not appeared in an NHL game. The Wild are missing several injured forwards, including Chuck Kobasew, Benoit Pouliot, Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Petr Sykora. Crosby runs with Olympic torch HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — Sidney Crosby lifted the Stanley Cup in June, and now he is carrying the Olympic torch at home. Hundreds of people lined a downtown street on Wednesday to watch the captain of the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins with the flame. Clad in an official torchbearer uniform, the 22-year-old Crosby ran about 300 yards before passing the torch to snowboarder Sarah Conrad, a native of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Crosby, whose hometown of Cole Harbour lies across the harbor from Halifax, was one of 12,000 torchbearers tasked with carrying the flame across Canada as part of a massive relay. The relay began in Victoria last month and will make stops in every province and territory leading up to the Winter Games in Vancouver in February. Associated Press |
