The Calgary Flames have traded forward Alex Tanguay and defenceman Cory Sarich to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward David Jones and defenceman Shane OBrien. "This trade adds needed size up front and grit on the back end while also allowing us to get younger." said Flames General Manager Jay Feaster in a statement. "We like the fact that Jones plays a north-south game, drives hard to the net, kills penalties and is a right hand shot. OBrien is a hard guy to play against, knows how to get under the skin of the opposition and stands up for his teammates. We are pleased to add both of these players to our organization." The deal sends the 33-year-old Tanguay back to the city where he started his career. Drafted by the Avalanche in first round (12th overall) in 1998, Tanguay played his first six seasons for Colorado before being traded to the Flames in June, 2006. Tanguay played two seasons in Calgary and had stops in Montreal and Tampa Bay before again signing as an unrestricted free agent with Calgary in July, 2010. Tanguay had 11 goals and 16 assists in 40 games for the Flames last season. Sarich, 34, had two assists in 28 games for the Flames this year. The veteran has also skated for Buffalo and Tampa Bay in his 14 NHL seasons. In Jones, the Flames receive a 28-year-old who struggled with three goals and six assists in 33 games last season. But the Guelph, Ontario native had much better seasons in the previous two years, where he had 20 goals in 2011-12 and 27 goals in 2010-11. He has 70 goals and 126 points in 272 games, all with Colorado. OBrien, 29, is a physical blueliner who had four assists and 60 penalty minutes in 28 games last season. He has also played for Anaheim, Tampa Bay, Vancouver, and Nashville over seven NHL campaigns.Clinton Portis Youth Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J.

The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.By Alan Eskew, The SportsXchangeGLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Edmonton Oilers had been the laughing stock of the National Hockey League Pacific Division.They finished last in the division last year with 31 victories and made changes at the top after the dismal season. Peter Chiarelli was named the president of hockey operations. Todd McLellan, who left the San Jose Sharks, was named head coach in May.The Oilers won only 24 games in the 2014-15 season and 29 in the 2013-14 season.But with 19-year-old Connor McDavid, the first overall pick in the 2015 draft, leading the way, the Oilers find themselves in an unusual and unexpected position in the Pacific Division -- first place.The Oilers, who are coming off a 6-3 victory Wednesday at Colorado, bring a 12-8-1 record into Gila River Arena on Friday night against the Arizona Coyotes, who have the worst record in the NHL -- 6-10-2, a .389 winning percentage. The Oilers, who won just 12 road games last season, are a NHL best 7-4-1 on the road this season.Its just about keeping perspective over a long season, Chiarelli told ESPN. I dont think, Oh, weve turned corner.McDavid, who has been compared to former Oiler Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky, leads the league with 27 points, 18 assists, including seven on power plays, and 10.3 goals created. McDavid, who missed 37 games with a broken collarbone in his rookie season, had a goal and two assists in the third period against the Avalanche.It starts with us offensively, McDavid told EdmontonOilers.com after the victory at Denver. We had the puck more. Roaming around in their zone and drew a ffew penalties.dddddddddddd (Goalie Cam) Talbot did a good job and our D did a good job. We stuck with it.Talbot leads the NHL with 534 stops and 1,127 minutes.Coyotes goalie Mike Smith had a miserable Wednesday night in a 4-1 home loss to Vancouver.I was awful, Smith told the Coyotes website after the defeat. I was sleeping right from the first goal and through on. It was obvious I wasnt feeling it, but its no excuse. You have to get the job done.He was replaced by Louis Dominque after the fourth goal.Its a goal that has to be stopped and it was obvious after that goal went in my night was over, Smith said. You cant let that in. Its as simple as that. Its one of those nights you have a short memory and get back to work.Coach Dave Tippett said he would wait until Friday to make a decision on who will mend the nets against the high-scoring Oilers.Rookie Christian Dvorak scored the only Coyotes goal. With Brad Richardson out with a broken right leg and former first-round pick Dylan Strome sent back to junior hockey, the Coyotes are searching for offense.You need players to make plays, Tippett said on the teams website. Weve got to make plays and not turn it over. Thats what it is. We need saves. Its all well and good that everybodys willing to fall on the sword, but lets just do the job. Do the job together, and well find ways to win.The Coyotes will need to be at their best to beat the Oilers, who have gone from worst to first in the division. ' ' '
