(SportsNetwork. Jose Altuve Jersey .com) - The Calgary Flames are 15 points out of a playoff spot in the West, but they showed they arent a team to be taken lightly when they slammed the visiting Anaheim Ducks by a 7-2 score on Wednesday. Although Anaheim has been struggling lately, the Ducks still entered Wednesdays game as the top team in the Pacific Division only to get routed by the Flames. Mikael Backlund scored twice and added an assist to lead Calgary in the surprising blowout victory. Mark Giordano notched a goal and an assist, while Mike Cammalleri, T.J. Galiardi and Ladislav Smid each scored once to help the Flames halt a brief two-game slide. Corban Knight capped the scoring with his first NHL goal and Joni Ortio backstopped the victory with 20 saves. "I thought that we just matched their intensity right from the start," Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. "We caught a couple of breaks that we deserved because we created them. Two shorthanded goals, a power play goal, it was pretty fun to watch our guys go." The Dallas Stars, one point ahead of the Phoenix Coyotes for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference, also toppled the NHL-leading Ducks this week. When the Stars and Flames collide Friday night at the American Airlines Center, Calgary aims to avoid a season series sweep while the Stars look for a fourth straight victory. The Stars hope to win another one for Rich Peverley, who collapsed shortly after completing a shift in the first period of Mondays scheduled home game against Columbus. That contest was ultimately postponed after Peverley was successfully treated for a "cardiac event" and sent to a local hospital. The 31-year-old forward was released from the hospital on Wednesday when it was also announced Peverley will miss the rest of the season. Peverley had a procedure performed during the preseason to correct an irregular heartbeat and will undergo another operation to deal with the issue in the near future. Peverley, who was acquired from Boston last summer in the trade that brought Tyler Seguin to Dallas, is fourth on the Stars this season with 30 points on seven goals and 23 assists. With No. 1 netminder Kari Lehtonen sidelined with a head injury, Tim Thomas expects to start again on Friday. Thomas was acquired in a trade with Florida before the trade deadline and the 39-year-old veteran is 2-1-1 with a 1.72 goals against average in four career games against Calgary. Dallas has won three straight and five of its last six home games and is 18-10-6 as the host this season. Dallas has claimed three straight and six of the last nine meetings in this matchup overall and Calgary has dropped two in a row and four of five in Big D. The Flames will try to halt a two-game road losing streak tonight in Dallas. Calgary is just 11-17-4 as the guest this season. Colby Rasmus Astros Jersey .Stanton suffered fractures in his face and other injuries when he was hit by a pitch Sept. 11. The Marlins are confident hell fully recover and be ready for spring training, and they hope to reach a long-term agreement with him. J.R. Richard Astros Jersey .

The German led the overall World Cup womens standings this season and continued her dominance by putting down a track record time of 49.Kobe Bryant is ready to cap a busy week by moving past another great on the NBAs career scoring list.Bryant needs just nine points in the Los Angeles Lakers game at Minnesota on Sunday night to surpass Michael Jordan, who is third on the leagues career scoring charts with 32,292 points.Its a huge honour to be here in this position, Bryant said this week. I cant believe Ive scored that many points, especially from where my career started, not playing and things like that. Its a huge honour. It wasnt something I thought about growing up as a kid. It was championships. The numbers arent something Ive ever started out to accomplish.Yet Bryant is poised to add another big number to his five NBA championship rings when the Lakers visit the Timberwolves.The 36-year-old Bryant likely would have surpassed Jordan a year ago, but he has made an impressive return from two major injuries which limited him to six games in an 18-month stretch before the start of this season. He even led the league in scoring until recently, dropping back to third with 25.4 points per game.Bryant stays in regular contact with Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, and has gained insight into the six-time NBA champions longevity.I think were both cursed with the obsession of trying to be the best that we can, Bryant said. Its a blessing and a curse at the same time.Lakers coach Byron Scott was there at Madison Square Garden for Bryants first NBA point when they were teammates in 1996, and he looks forward to witnessing Kobes latest achievement.From my standpoint and knowing Kobe like I do, I know he has an extreme amount of respect for MJ, Scott said. Hes probably the one guy Kobe wants to pass in a number of categories, and I think rings are one of them as well. I think for him, it will be very significant. It puts him in that category of the greatest players ever in this league.. Scott Feldman Astros Jersey. .Bryant scored 22 points in the Lakers overtime victory at San Antonio on Friday night, going 7 for 22 while contributing several big assists down the stretch. He even ceded the biggest shot of the game to teammate Nick Young, who drained a go-ahead 3-pointer with 7.4 seconds left.Bryant is finishing up a week that has included two victories for the struggling Lakers, a headline-grabbing trash-talk performance in practice, and his orchestration of the Lakers decision to wear I Cant Breathe shirts before their win over Sacramento on Tuesday. Bryant also spoke eloquently about the importance of questioning and protesting, citing his platform to affect change as an important aspect of American society.Bryant rarely practices with the Lakers these days while attempting to preserve his 36-year-old body for the 82-game grind, but he joined in an intense scrimmage Thursday before the club left on its road trip.While the media watched, Bryant was captured verbally shredding his teammates with trash talk that made national headlines, but isnt anything out of the ordinary for the competitive guard.Bryant laughed at the attention attracted by his words, saying they were just fun bantering back and forth.Once Bryant passes Jordan, who played parts of 15 seasons, only Karl Malone (36,928) and former Lakers centre Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) will be above him on the NBAs career list.Bryant is early in his 19th NBA season. He doesnt know whether hell play after his current contract expires following next season, although Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak suspects Bryant will retire.If surpassing Jordans career points total is Bryants final milestone on his rise, hell be grateful to sit alongside one of his heroes.Its not like a distraction or anything, Bryant said. Its not like its (not) going to happen. I just take it all in stride.
