FRISCO, Texas -- Two teams on the opposite end of the Western Conference standings meet at American Airlines Center on Thursday evening as the Los Angeles Kings visit the Dallas Stars.Currently one of five winless teams in the NHL, Los Angeles (0-3-0) dropped a 6-3 decision at the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.The Kings have scored just six goals, tying them for second-fewest in the league through three games.Veteran center Anze Kopitar has a good idea why Los Angeles has yet to crack the win column.Obviously, we have to check better, and everything that they (the opposition) get, its mostly off our mistakes, and we cant afford that, Kopitar said after the loss in Minnesota. Teams are good, if you do (make) mistakes, theyre going to punish you for that.Dallas (2-1-0) returns home after splitting a two-game road trip. The Stars dropped their first road game of the season, 6-5 at Colorado on Saturday, before edging Nashville 2-1 at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday.Through three games, the Stars have two players tied for the team lead in goals with two apiece. Perennial NHL All-Star center Tyler Seguin is no surprise but hes accompanied by veteran forward Adam Cracknell, who has gotten an opportunity to play because fellow veteran Ales Hemsky has been sidelined with a groin injury.My play is the result of our guys playing well, Cracknell told the Stars official website after practice on Wednesday. Were all playing as a unit. I think were buying into the system right now. Were getting rewarded, which is nice.Stars coach Lindy Ruff said on Wednesday that Hemsky, who has been skating, will not play Thursday and neither will fellow forward Jiri Hudler (flu). Ruff said Hudlers illness is so severe right now that the Stars want him to stay away from the team facility to avoid infecting any of his teammates until his condition improves.Johnny Oduya also missed practice on Wednesday, but Ruff said the veteran defensemans absence was due to a maintenance day.After starting the season last week with a 4-2 win against Anaheim, Dallas will be playing its second home game of the season on Thursday.And even though the Stars are coming off their most complete game of the season Tuesday in Music City, Ruff still wants to see more.Weve still got work to do, Ruff said. We got to clean up our special teams. Our power plays got to become quicker. Our 5-on-5 play became a lot quicker, now our power plays got to become quicker.One reason why the Kings have struggled to start the season is because they have been without top goaltender Jonathan Quick, a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the MVP of the 2012 playoffs. Quick sustained a lower-body injury in the first period of their season opener last Wednesday.Quick is expected to miss between three and four months, leaving goaltending duties to be divided between Jeff Zatkoff and veteran Peter Budaj. The latter was recently recalled from the minors to serve as Zatkoffs backup.Zatkoff is 0-3-0 with a 4.37 goals-against-average and an .839 save percentage, numbers which are a far cry from those posted by Quick.But Kings coach Darryl Sutter knows his goaltending situation is out of his hands and all he can do is hope for the best.Theres nothing you can do about it. Theres not one thing, Sutter said after the loss in Minnesota. I said it when Jonathan got hurt. Theres not one thing that I can do about it or anybody can do about it, right? You expect the guys that are in there to play as well as they can, and if they play as well as they can, thats good.

Bradwell was scheduled to become a free agent Tuesday. Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. http://www.wholesalebillsjerseys.com/?tag=youth-josh-allen-jersey . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. Ray-Ray McCloud III Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Bills Jerseys China . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. EUGENE, Ore. -- This could feel like a road game for Allyson Felix.She has the aching right ankle and Jenna Prandini the crowd support.The last step on Felixs road to the 200-400 double figures to finally feature some drama Sunday at the U.S. Track and Field Trials.Granted, Felix is the favorite -- always is in her signature event, the one she captured gold at the 2012 London Games. But shes far from a lock with an ankle that made winning the 400 earlier in the week troublesome and running the curve in the 200 less than ideal.Whats more, this is Prandinis house. The former University of Oregon standout will have about 100 friends and family in attendance to watch her race. They even designed T-shirt with Go, Jenna, Go stenciled on them.Im at my home track, my whole family is here, Prandini said. Im set up well.Felix just wishes her ankle wouldve allowed her more time to work on the curve of the 200, the spot where this race could be won or lost.I mean, unfortunately, thats an area we havent had the luxury of working on, Felix said. Just trying to get through with what I have.Heading into trials, one of the big topics was whether Felix could make the team in both the 200 and 400. She breezed in the 400.But someone beat her to qualifying in both -- LaShawn Merritt, who finished second in the 200 on Friday after winning the 400.In addition to Prandini, Tori Bowie will be a threat to Felix, along with Oregon Duck Deajah Stevens and 19-year-old Ariana Washington, the Oregon runner who captured the 200 title at NCAA championships last month.Missing from the field will be Candace Hill, a 17-year-old high school who didnt make it out of the semifinals.It was a great experience. Im glad I went, said Hill, who turned pro last December and signed a 10-year deal with ASICS. This really helped me learn how pro meets are run. High school meets were getting too easy for mme.dddddddddddd This is the next level for me.A glance at the final day of the trials:NO SUHR-PRISE: Other than dealing with the rain, 2012 Olympic champion Jenn Suhr had an easy time in Fridays qualifying session. She cleared one height and advanced to the final, where she will be a big favorite. Sandi Morris, 24, and Lexi Weeks, 19, are also factors in final.REDEMPTION: After stumbling in the 800 meters, Brenda Martinez tries to make the Olympic team in the 1,500 meters. The top time in the semifinals was turned in by Jenny Simpson, the 2011 world champion in the event.WIDE OPEN: The womens 400-meter hurdles is wide open after favorite Shamier Little failed to make it out of the semifinals. Dalilah Muhammad won a silver medal at the 2013 world championships. Keep an eye on Sydney McLaughlin, the 16-year-old who broke national high school mark last June.HALFWAY HOME: Barbara Nwaba has a slim 11-point lead over Kendell Williams in the heptathlon with three events remaining.JUMP, JUMP: 2012 Olympic silver medalist Erik Kynard looked sharp in high jump qualifying. Jesse Williams, a favorite to make the team, aggravated a plantar fasciitis injury and wont be in the final. That opens things up for someone such as Bryan McBride, who won an NCAA title at Arizona State in 2014.GOING THE DISTANCE: Already through in the 10K, Molly Huddle tries to earn a spot in the 5,000. Kim Conley had some bad luck in the 10K -- she was stepped on, lost a shoe and eventually dropped out to save her energy for this race.FINAL TICKETS: T
