NASHVILLE -- The Pittsburgh Penguins sent forward James Neal to the Nashville Predators on Friday in exchange for forwards Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling. The addition of Neal signals the Predators emphasis on boosting their offence under new coach Peter Laviolette as they attempt to return to the playoffs after a two-year absence. The Predators have had a reputation as a defence-oriented team for virtually the franchises entire history. The 26-year-old Neal had 27 goals and 34 assists in 59 games for the Penguins this season, which marked the sixth straight year he scored at least 20 goals. Neal scored 40 goals in 2011-12 and had 21 goals in only 40 games during the 2012-13 season. He has 161 career goals and 154 assists in 413 career regular-season games, and has been a force on power plays. Neal had been with the Penguins since 2010 after beginning his career with the Dallas Stars. Hornqvist, 27, had 22 goals and 31 assists in 76 games this season, which marked the fourth time in his career he reached the 20-goal mark. He has 106 goals and 110 assists in 363 career regular-season games, all with Nashville. Hornqvists best season came in 2009-10, when he scored a career-high 30 goals. "In this deal, we got to drop our cap a little bit with Hornqvist," Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford said. "We like Hornqvist as an all-around player. Hornqvist plays at the net, goes to the net, works the corners. We like his all-around play." Spaling, 25, had 13 goals and 19 assists in 71 games for Nashville this season. He has 40 goals and 44 assists in 207 career regular-season games. "We like Spalding, he can play all three positions on the third line," Rutherford said. "I think we were just trying to change the mix of our team a little bit and get a little different type player." Ulogujte se da bi ste vidjeli ovaj Link... .

QUARTERBACKS Nick Foles (vs. Dallas)Last week: 22/31, 296 yards, 3 TDs; 1 rushing TDFoles is owned by less than 20% of teams heading into Week 7 meaning a lot of fantasy teams – and surely some in need of QB help – missed out on a Top 3 performance at the position last week.

This week, however, their task is far more challenging: stopping Drew Brees on the road in New Orleans.Brees leads a New Orleans offence that continues to be one of the leagues best. This year, he has thrown for 3,071 yards and 19 touchdowns in the first 10 games.Brees is very unique as a quarterback, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. Hes one of a kind. (It is) going to be a big challenge for us.The Ravens shook up their secondary before their last game, a 21-7 victory over Tennessee and rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger on Nov. 9. Anthony Levine got his first start at cornerback, and Danny Gorrer — re-signed earlier in the week after being released by Detroit — saw plenty of playing time and contributed an interception.Lardarius Webb started at the other corner, and Will Hill began the game at strong safety for a second consecutive game as Matt Elams playing time has decreased in recent weeks. Darian Stewart continued starting at free safety, but rookie Terrence Brooks helped in passing situations there.The group kept Mettenberger and the Tennessee passing attack under control, but facing Brees will be another story. The Ravens come into this game ranked 21st in the NFL in pass defence while New Orleans ranks third in the league in pass offence.We know what were up against, Gorrer said.dddddddddddd The (last game) definitely gives the back end a whole bunch of confidence, but that game is behind us now. Were getting ready to face a Hall of Fame quarterback, and weve got to rise up to the occasion.The Ravens know that Brees is dangerous in several ways. He can make very accurate throws but can also find a way to make plays by moving around in and out of the pocket.Plus, the Saints have several good receivers, including 6-foot-7 tight end Jimmy Graham. Brees is good at finding the open man and will test the secondary on Monday night.We definitely have to come to play, Stewart said. He does a good job extending plays with his feet. Hes good at spreading it around.The changing of secondary came because the Ravens have struggled there all season. They recently lost top cornerback Jimmy Smith (foot surgery) for the year, and Webb started slowly after missing the whole pre-season and the first two regular season games with back problems.The Ravens now are hoping the secondary can play more like they did in the win over Tennessee and find some consistency in the seasons final six games as they fight for the AFC North title and/or a playoff spot.We know what were capable of, Stewart said. We just have to take it from week to week and get better every week.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Ulogujte se da bi ste vidjeli ovaj Link...
