TORONTO -- The 2013 season is quickly becoming one to forget for Chad Kackert.
David Silva Jersey . The Toronto Argonauts
running back hurt his left ankle during the teams practice Friday afternoon at
Rogers Centre. The extent of the injury wasnt immediately known but certainly
leaves questions regarding the third-year players availability Nov. 17 when the
Argos host either Hamilton or Montreal in the East Division final. Argos head
coach Scott Milanovich didnt sound overly optimistic when discussing the injury.
"We dont think it was a minor injury," he said. "From what I saw, it was just
kind of a freak deal. "It looked like he was kind of slipping through the line
of scrimmage and I dont know that even if anyone touched him. You be as careful
as you can but sometimes you cant avoid things." Kackert, the MVP of Torontos
Grey Cup victory last November against Calgary, has missed time this season with
knee and shoulder injuries as well as a concussion. However, the
five-foot-eight, 206-pound Kackert was Torontos leading rusher this season,
running for 480 yards on 71 carries (6.8-yard average) with three touchdowns.
The former New Hampshire star added 23 catches for 184 yards and a TD. Kackert
enjoyed his best season with Toronto last year, rushing for 638 yards on 100
carries with five TDs. He was named the Grey Cup MVP after running for 133 yards
on 20 carries and adding 62 yards receiving on eight catches in the Argos 35-22
win over Calgary at Rogers Centre. Kackert re-signed with Toronto in the
off-season. If Kackert is unable to play Nov. 17, the Argos would look to either
Jerious Norwood or Curtis Steele -- both CFL rookies -- as his replacement.
Norwood was Torontos second-leading rusher this year with 342 yards on 58
carries (5.9-yard average) with one touchdown. Steele ran for 187 yards on 39
carries (4.8-yard average) with three TDs this season. "If we were to lose him,
I think the guys understand this is football and this type of thing happens,"
Milanovich said. "They will rally around Jerious and Curtis or whoever is in
there. "Fortunately all those guys have played and played in meaningful games.
If Chads not able to go well be sorry for him but well move on and try to win
for him."

The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman
Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by
the NHLs worst team.

fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so
important to the overall quality of the game.

his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in
the making.DETROIT -- Overtime games suit the Dallas Stars just fine.
Rich Peverleys goal at 4:41 of overtime completed a comeback and gave Dallas a
4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. It was the Stars fourth
win in overtime or a shootout of the season and third straight on their
three-game road trip. "Weve had a lot of overtime games so far this year. You
need to be able to get points in any way," Peverley said. Peverley beat Howard
on a wrist shot from the high slot. "I came off (the boards) and was looking to
shoot," he said. "A lot of traffic in front and he (Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard)
never saw it." Shawn Horcoff, Jamie Benn and Cody Eakin also for Dallas.
Kari Lehtonen stopped 26 shots. "Theyre a great team and theyve got some great
players but we did a good job of being persistent," Peverley said. Todd Bertuzzi
and Pavel Datsyuk each had a goal and an assist, Adam Almquist got his first
career goal for Detroit, which lost its fourth straight at home.
Henrik Zetterberg had three assists. Jimmy Howard made 24 saves. "Its a tough
loss. We did a lot of good things. We played good enough defensively,"
Zetterberg said. "I dont think they created that many chances, I think we
created more." Eakins power-play goal at 18:50 of third, and with Lehtonen
pulled to make it a 6-on-4 advantage, tied the game at 3. It was Eakins fourth
goal and came on a wrist shot from the right circle. "In last minute, down one.
Thinking, get it to the net." Eakin said. Detroits Justin Abdelkader was in the
penalty box for goaltender interference after being called with 2:44 left in
regulation as he ran into Lehtonen after getting off a shot. "I would think any
penalty 200 feet from home isnt a good
