The Vancouver Canucks, who struggled into the Olympic break, will try to restart their season on a positive note as they host The St. Louis Blues The Canucks may have needed the break more than any team as they went into the hiatus having lost seven in a row, including a winless five-game road trip to close out the pre-Olympic schedule. Vancouver has lost seven in a row in regulation for the first time since Dec. 26-Jan. 6 during the 1998-99 campaign and is on its longest skid of any kind since going 0-5-3 from Jan. 9-31, 2009. The Canucks have 63 points on the season, one back of Phoenix and Dallas for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. The break did allow Henrik Sedin some additional time to heal from a rib injury that has held him to just two games since Jan. 18 and caused him to sit out the Olympics. "Henrik is landing this morning," head coach John Tortorella told reporters on Wednesday morning. "We hope hell play tonight." However, forward Ryan Kesler wont play tonight due to a hand injury suffered while blocking a shot for Team USA on Feb. 15. He did not miss time during the Olympics, but had an MRI on Monday and is day-to-day. Vancouver recalled center Kellan Lain from the American Hockey League on Monday. Eddie Lack will get the start in goal. Regardless, the Canucks will look to get on track while playing their next three as the home team. That includes March 2 in the Heritage Classic versus Ottawa to be played at BC Place, which features a retractable roof. The Canucks have won two prior meetings with the Blues this season and are 5-0-2 in the last seven encounters overall. Vancouver also is 3-0-1 in its past four versus St. Louis at home. T.J. Oshie had one of the more memorable experiences during the Winter Olympics, even if the American was unable to get his country a medal. Oshie was part of a Team USA squad that failed to medal in Sochi, though the 27-year-old was briefly the talk of the Olympics after he scored four times during an eight-round shootout to help lift the U.S. to a win over Russia during group play. The forward became a media sensation and U.S. hero for his clutch performance, though he fizzled out like the rest of Team USA, which failed to beat Canada in the semifinals before falling in defeat to Finland in the bronze medal game. "It was pretty crazy after that shootout. Its all a little bitter now that we get back and have nothing to show for it, but it was a pretty cool couple of days after that seeing some of my family on some major TV shows and stuff like that," said Oshie. The Blues do return a number of players who collected medals in Sochi, including gold medal-winning defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester of Team Canada as well as forwards Alexander Steen and Patrik Berglund, who picked up silver with Sweden. Steen continued his solid campaign that has seen him score a career-high 28 goals through just 46 games on the season. St. Louis comes out of the break having gone 3-0-1 in its previous four while winning seven of its last 10. The Blues are even with the idle Chicago Blackhawks for the top spot in the Central standings with 84 points, three behind the Anaheim Ducks for the most in the NHL. The Blues play their next three on the road looking to maintain that success, something Oshie believes his club can do. "I think so. Weve got some guys coming off some pretty big highs, getting a gold and silver medal, and weve got some other guys like myself and (forward David) Backes that are fired up we didnt get anything," Oshie said. "I feel like after big losses like that, it inspires you to work harder. Its always easy coming back to this group of guys." Mike Singletary Youth Jersey . The time off didnt slow them down. Tyler Zeller scored a season-high 18 points and grabbed a career-best 15 rebounds, Kyrie Irving added 14 points and the Cavaliers pushed their winning streak to five games Tuesday night with a 114-85 victory over the skidding Philadelphia 76ers.

The judge sternly instructed the prosecutor to restrain himself and he apologized -- then went right back to trying to pick holes in the testimony of the double-amputee runner. It was a harsh day of cross-examination for Pistorius, challenged relentlessly about his account of the moments just before he killed Reeva Steenkamp, as well as circumstances related to several firearms charges against him, including the firing of a gun in a crowded restaurant. http://www.chicagobearfootballauthentic.com/authentic-riley-ridley-bears-jersey/ . -- Jonathan Vilmas season is over and his future on the football field is in doubt.

On Wednesday, Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas hit back.

Rival drivers have expressed sympathy for Kvyat, who was sent back to Toro Rosso with Max Verstappen going the other way to Red Bull for the remainder of the season.And although the 22-year-olds F1 career has hit its first stumbling block after a swift rise through the ranks, those who have expressed similar early setbacks have insisted the episode does not have to represent the beginning of the end for the Russians time at the top level. Force Indias Sergio Perez has rebuilt his reputation after being dropped by McLaren after a single season in 2013 and said Kvyat is a very strong driver, mentally as well, and he will overcome that impact for a driver.Christian Horner Q&AAsked how easy it would be for the Russian to recover, Perez replied: Its obviously very hard to do that. It was the same with me when McLaren dropped me. People suddenly stopped believing in me.People in F1 have very short memories. They wont remember his podiums or the great momentum he had at Toro Rosso, or why they chose him in the first place. They wont remember that, they will just remember that he didnt perform and they dropped him. Max Verstappen and Daniil Kvyat face the media after it was announced the pair would swap places between the Red Bull and Toro Rosso teams If he has to deliver results he will rebuild his reputation. If hes not with Red Bull, he might find another alternative in the future.Williams Felipe Massa, now one of the grids most experienced drivers, reverted to a test driver role with Ferrari for a season after his debut campaign racing for Sauber in 2002 ended with an abrupt contract termination.Kvyat shocked by Red Bull demotionThe 35-year-olld, who went on to win 11 grands prix and finish runner-up in the 2008 world championship, has urged Kvyat to keep believing in himself and follow the path of others.ddddddddddddIn Formula 1, its difficult to have a chance, so when you have one chance you need to prove yourself, Massa said.I did a good championship on my first year. I had one fifth [place], two sixths and lots of sevenths, which had no points at that time, so I did a good championship. I crashed a lot and Peter Sauber didnt like to see his car in the wall! I dont know why I lost my drive in the first year. Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton react to the news of Daniil Kvyat and Max Verstappens swap, and Hamilton says the swap isnt something hed have done The second chance in F1 is even more difficult. But it can happen - like it happened for me, for Fernando [Alonso], maybe Mika Hakkinen. You need to believe.Romain Grosjeans early years in F1 proved particularly tumultuous amid a series of crashes and the now Haas driver admits I was either going back home or getting my s*** together.Its great that Red Bull has got two teams, so you can swap drivers, he added. Daniil had only one year in Formula 1 and then went straight to Red Bull [in 2015] and only four more grands prix [this year]. Its the same with Max.I think its Franz [Tost, Toro Rossos team boss] who says you need three years to be up to and ready to go to a big team. Were all different and I think its kind of easier to start in a smaller team than a big team. Watch the Spanish GP live on Sky Sports F1.
