Vorstellung » chicago , Kaepernick looked much better early back home

PITTSBURGH -- Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury likely will get back in the Pittsburgh Penguins net in the next two nights -- a good guess would be Friday against the Los Angeles Kings at PPG Paints Arena -- with back-to-back games on tap.That would leave Matt Murray, who has started a season-high four games in a row, to start the other of the two games, probably Saturday at Toronto.For more than a decade, Fleury was Pittsburghs franchise, go-to goalie. A concussion last spring opened the door for Murray, 22, who backstopped the Penguins to the Stanley Cup.Now Fleury, 32, is learning something new: what to with down time. With coach Mike Sullivan seemingly in the mode of riding the hot hand, Fleury (8-5-2) has not played since Dec. 5 against the Ottawa Senators. It was his third consecutive start, but he got pulled for Murray in the second period.Marcs been great. Hes a good pro, Sullivan said. He controls what he can. He tries to do everything in his power to keep himself sharp, and thats all you can do as a player.It is a different experience for the veteran.I dont know. Its tough to figure it out, Fleury said Thursday of not seeing game action for what would be 11 days if he starts Friday. I just do little things with (goaltending coach Mike Bales) here and there, try to stay sharp, go over technical points, get on the ice early a little bit.If it is weighing on Fleury, he isnt showing it. He was in a jovial mood after practice. Before practice, he went on the ice alone without pads and with a forwards stick, skating and shooting. He joked he was ready to fill in should Pittsburgh need an extra forward.The Penguins, 20-7-3 and riding a seven-game winning streak, seem fine in the forward department. However, they will need to get by without top defenseman Kris Letang, who plays in all situations and has 19 points, including seven assists in the past seven games.Sullivan announced Thursday that Letang will miss a few weeks because of a lower-body injury.It will be by committee, Sullivan said of replacing Letang. We think we have capable people, and well sort it out. But hes a tough guy to replace.The Kings (15-12-2) also are dealing with a goaltending situation, but its not working out as well as the Penguins.No. 1 goaltender Jonathan Quick has missed most of the season because of a groin injury, and general manager Dean Lombardi said this week that Quick will be out until around mid-February. That has left the Kings just hanging around the playoff cutoff in the West.Peter Budaj was asked to pick up most of the slack, perhaps too much of it. He started 25 of 26 games before former Pittsburgh backup Jeff Zatkoff started Thursday in Detroit. Zatkoff made 17 saves in a 4-1 victory to pick up just his second win to go with five losses.Lombardi told the Los Angeles Times that he looked to trade for goaltending help.Youre almost going down to the third man on the depth chart when youre talking to a lot of these teams, and then you also have the issue if you highlight a certain guy you have the realization that you have a No. 1 goalie (Quick) coming back, too, with (the) expansion (draft) coming, Lombardi told the Times.What are you going to give up for a two-month asset?Hanging around .500 -- 2-2-1 in the five games before the win at Detroit -- and being 5-8-1 on the road is frustrating for the Kings. The players held a closed-door meeting Tuesday after a 6-3 loss at Buffalo.A little bit of panic in our game right now, Los Angeles Dustin Brown told the Times. Thats when you have to come together and support each other.The Penguins expect the Kings to give them a tough game, just as the Boston Bruins did Wednesday, when Pittsburgh overcame a couple of one-goal deficits and won in overtime, 4-3.Theyre structured, just like Boston, Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby said. Theyre comfortable playing in tight games, low-scoring games. We still have to play our game and try to produce, but understand that theyre looking for turnovers, looking for mistakes, and we dont want to give that to them.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Bilal Powell made sure that Bryce Pettys rough start had a positive finish for the New York Jets.Powell ran for 145 yards, including the game-ending 19-yard touchdown in overtime, to help Petty and the New York Jets rally from 14 points down to beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday.It shows the character we have, Powell said. Its not the season that everyone was expecting but we keep fighting and we have a lot of guys on the team who showed a lot of pride.Petty threw an interception on his first pass of the game and the Jets (4-9) trailed 14-0 less than five minutes into the game. San Francisco (1-12) led 17-3 at halftime, but fell flat after that and lost a franchise-worst 12th straight game.Powell took over from there and scored his second TD of the game on New Yorks first possession of overtime after Pettys scramble and 26-yard pass to Robby Anderson put the Jets in field-goal range.First half was probably about as ugly as I could play, Petty said. I came out a little bit more nervous than I thought I was going to be. ... Hats off to the team for sticking with me.Petty, who went 23 for 35 for 257 yards in his second career start , rallied the Jets back from a 17-3 deficit in the first half by leading two fourth-quarter scoring drives. New York used a 15-play, 66-yard drive to cut the deficit to 17-14 with 5:04 left when Powell bowled his way in for a 5-yard run and Petty ran in the 2-point conversion .New York then forced a punt and Petty led the Jets 33 yards to tie the game on Nick Folks 50-yard field goal with 38 seconds left.Hyde ran for a career-high 193 yards and caught a TD pass, but Phil Dawson missed two field goals and San Francisco failed to score on its final eight possessions to squander a 14-point lead for the third time this season.We have to make plays, quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. Thats what it comes down to. If you dont go out and execute and dont go out and make plays, you wont get it done on offense.KEY PLAYThe 49ers won the toss in overtime and drove to New Yorks 37, where they faced a fourth-and-2. Coach Chip Kelly opted to go for it rather than kick a field goal or punt and the Jets stuffed Hyde for no gain for one of tthe few big plays on run defense after allowing 248 yards rushing for the game.dddddddddddd(Thats) what Im used to seeing, coach Todd Bowles said. The first drive, second drive of the game is not what Im used to seeing. They stepped up and won.ROUGH STARTThe game couldnt have started worse for Petty. He telegraphed a short pass to Quincy Enunwa that Jimmie Ward intercepted and returned to the New York 7. Colin Kaepernick found Hyde in the flat for the TD on the next play to give San Francisco the lead. After New York went three-and-out the next possession, San Francisco moved 81 yards on four plays with help from a 47-yard run by Hyde to set up Shaun Draughns 4-yard run that made it 14-0 just 4:11 into the game.KAPS ROLLER COASTERAfter getting pulled last week after completing just one pass in three quarters in snowy Chicago , Kaepernick looked much better early back home in better weather conditions. He completed his first seven passes with 95 yards in the first quarter before faltering. He finished 15 for 26 for 133 yards as San Francisco had just 17 yards passing after halftime -- its fewest in 11 years.Thats on me as a play-caller, Kelly said. I just really wasnt confident.INJURIESBoth teams were hit hard by injuries with the scariest coming when Niners receiver Torrey Smith was knocked out with a concussion when his helmet slammed against the turf as he fell on an incomplete pass in the third quarter. Smith was motionless for a bit as players kneeled in concern. He was eventually able to sit up and was carted off the field with a towel draped over his head.San Francisco also lost center Daniel Kilgore (right leg) and tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) to injuries.New York lost running back Matt Forte (knee), tight end Brandon Bostick (ankle), and defensive backs Marcus Gilchrist (knee) and Buster Skrine (head). Forte will have tests done Monday but said he doesnt believe he has ligament damage. Gilchrist will undergo season-ending surgery for a patella tendon tear.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
