TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger have the latest on security and safety at the Sochi Games, if the NHL is ready to expand video review, who might be available in Edmonton, could Matt Moulson be a member of the Senators, and more. Who might be available and who might be on the move in Edmonton? Darren Dreger: Sam Gagner, we know. Ales Hemsky, we know. Ryan Smyth is expected. Theres no dialog between Craig MacTavish and Ryan Smyth. The belief is that Smyth wants one more crack with a winning team to see if he can win the Stanley Cup. Hes still effective, at least in the offensive zone, so I expect his name will heat up as we get closer to the deadline. Could Matt Moulson be heading to Ottawa? Pierre LeBrun: Matt Moulson will be a very popular name as the March deadline approaches. We know hes one of the guys the LA Kings are looking at, but the Ottawa Senators are another team. A little bit of a connection with the Senators, as GM Bryan Murrays nephew Tim Murray is now GM in Buffalo. Moulsons a guy that if the Senators can stay in the playoff mix over the next few weeks, I believe they will make inquiries on him. Might Thomas Vanek, who was part of the Moulson trade, re-sign on Long Island? LeBrun: He has liked it on Long Island a lot more than he thought he would. You hear these stories about the Islanders and playing in a bad rink but Vanek has really enjoyed his time there. He loves playing with John Tavares and he likes the way hes been treated by Garth Snow, so hes got a big decision to make. I think at the end of the day hes still going to go to free agency, which makes him force the hand of Snow. For Snow, thats the number one priority; to sign Vanek before the trade deadline. How big an issue is security and safety at the Sochi Olympics? Dreger: It is a concerning issue. The threat of terrorism always is going to be concerning for a world spectacle such as this and thats not lost on neither the Players Association and National Hockey League. Both will tell you that their guest list, be it family or friends, is reducing on a week-by-week basis leading up to the Olympic Games but the NHL is confident that their safety will be insured by the Russian government and the International Olympic Organization. But if there were significant terrorist attempts or attacks prior to the Olympics in Sochi, I think that the NHL and the NHLPA also wouldnt hesitate to remove themselves from the Games. Is the NHL ready to expand video review and when? LeBrun: I think more than ever. Its all about timing and I can tell you right now that its on the GMs agenda in March when they will again tackle this. But this time, I think the league might finally get its way. We know that hockey operations has wanted to expand video review for a long time and if they get their way this year, not only will they get it moving forward but maybe even for the playoffs if they can get the owners and the NHLPA to sign off. Lots of "ifs" but certainly theres a different movement here. Bob McKenzie: I believe that Detroit goal on Saturday night was the tipping point for general managers. GMs in the past have overwhelmingly been against expanding video review but after Saturday night, I surveyed 23 NHL GMs and 22 of them said we cannot have a repeat of what happened on Saturday night. The one GM who didnt say that said they have to discuss what theyre going to do. Now, how exactly they go about that is the controversial aspect. Some guys want the coachs challenge, some guys want it only to be on the very specific play where a puck comes off the mesh, and some guys want the referees to be able to review it at the penalty bench. Its all over the map and how they process this is the controversial aspect to it. But after that goal that was scored on Saturday night, many general managers said could you imagine if the Stanley Cup was decided on a goal like that. Does anything come of Sens owner Eugene Melnyk presenting the NHL Matt Cooke investigation evidence? McKenzie: No, it doesnt. When this incident happened last season, Melnyk said that he believed in his heart that Cooke had malice and intentionally severed the tendon of Erik Karlsson. He said afterwards he was going to prove it and talked about a forensic investigation. He spent a lot of time, effort and money and put together a fully detailed medical report and presented that to the NHL in New York City on Monday. Theres not going to be any retroactive justice here, but Eugene Melnyk had his day in court, so to speak, and did what he said he was going to do.

It was Inters second league win in a row and lifts it to 15th spot in the Serie A standings, four points off the bottom three. Siena striker Franco Brienza was sent off seconds after the goal. Inter leapfrogs Fiorentina, which lost 2-0 at Palermo, following goals from Fabrizio Miccoli and Josip Ilicic. Fiorentina also had Cesare Natali dismissed in the final minutes after he picked up a second yellow card for dissent. Cesena beat Bologna for its first victory of the season last week and Adrian Mutus double saw his team win again as a 2-0 triumph against Genoa pushed it off the foot of the table. Elsewhere, Cagliari drew 1-1 with Bologna. Inter is 11 points behind Serie A leader Juventus, which also has a game in hand, but coach Claudio Ranieri has not given up hope of making up lost ground. "I dont know if now were back in it," Ranieri said. "I said this game was important because theyre all finals for us. We have to always look to win. It will be very difficult but thats our aim. "On one side theres a team which has won everything and on the other a team which wants to return to winning always. Juventus has been out of the title race for a few years. This year, after spending the right money and buying the right players, theyre deservedly back in it." Inter was desperately seeking a victory following just one win its past three league games. But they had few chances in a drab match at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Claudio Ranieris team should have taken the lead on the half hour mark. Siena goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic flapped at a corner and the ball fell to Walter Samuel, who woefully mis-hit his shot across goal. It could have been worse for Inter as Siena immediately counterattacked. But Brienzas finishing touch flew inches over the crossbar. Inter snatched all three points right at the death. Thiago Motta found Castaignos in the middle of the area and the Dutch youngster managed to squeeze a shot in between two Siena defenders for his first goal in Inter colours. Brienza received a second yellow and his marching oorders in stoppage time for dissent.dddddddddddd Cesena also managed to record a second consecutive victory. Genoa missed several chances to take the lead, most notably when Rodrigo Palacio passed instead of shooting when one on one with Cesena goalkeeper Francesco Antonioli and the ball was scrambled to safety. It was to rue its missed opportunities as Cesena was awarded a penalty in the 70th minute after Emiliano Moretti fouled Erjon Bogdani. Mutu stepped up and cheekily looped his spot-kick over the diving Sebastien Frey. Mutu doubled his tally 10 minutes later with a stunning 25-yard strike into the top right corner, which gave Frey no chance. Cesena moves into 19th in the standings and now has a point more than Lecce which takes over bottom spot. Fiorentina is closer to being sucked into a relegation battle after it lost 2-0 at Palermo. Miccoli beat the offside trap in the 22nd minute to give the home side the lead. The Palermo captain timed his run to perfection as he raced onto Ilicics through ball on toward goal, chased by Alessandro Gamberini, before slotting home. It was Miccolis fourth goal this season and the sight of him being stretchered off at the end of the first half after complaining of a right knee problem will be a worry for Palermo. Fiorentina came close to levelling when Natali hit the crossbar in the 70th. Just three minutes later the Tuscan side found itself further behind when Ilicic fired a stunning free-kick into the top right corner from over 25 yards out. It was Palermos sixth consecutive home victory and sees it move into sixth in the table, six points behind leader Juventus which has a game in hand. Cagliari and Bologna had to settle for a 1-1 draw which will please neither of the struggling sides. Cagliari gifted Bologna the lead in the 75th minute. Cagliari captain Daniele Conti cleared a cross but only as far as Marco Di Vaio, who lashed it home from close range. Conti atoned for his error six minutes later after he was fouled by Nicolo Cherubin in the area. He stepped up to the spot and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to ensure Cagliari a share of the spoils. Bologna is a point off the bottom three, with Cagliari just three points further ahead.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Royals have optioned left-hander Will Smith to Triple-A Omaha and recalled left-hander Ryan Verdugo to provide some bullpen support. The Royals made the moves before Tuesday nights game against Minnesota. Smith allowed seven runs in 4 2-3 innings in the series opener Monday night, though manager Ned Yost said his poor performance wasnt the main reason he was sent down. Yost wants an extra arm in the bullpen until Kansas City starts interleague play Friday at Pittsburgh. Yost also said left-hander Everett Teaford and second baseman Chris Getz are headed to Omaha to begin rehab assignments Thursday. Teaford has been dealing with a lower abdominal strain and Getz has been out with bruised ribs. Teaford will throw two innings and Getz will play five.

Robin van Persie put United ahead in the 26th minute, pouncing on a rebound after Wayne Rooney had a shot blocked. But Southampton, one of the surprises of the league this season, troubled United throughout and claimed a deserved point when Lovren bundled in a corner from James Ward-Prowse in the 89th. United slipped eight points behind early leader Arsenal in what is proving to be a tough start to life at Old Trafford for new manager David Moyes, whose team lost 2-1 to West Bromwich Albion in its last home league game. The last time Southampton was in the north of England, Croatia defender Lovren scored the winner in a 1-0 victory at Liverpool to end the then-leaders unbeaten start to the season. The visitors started this game in the top four and wont be too far from the top of the table come the end of the season on this evidence. For United and Moyes, though, the problems continue. At times, they were outplayed by Southampton, with Van Persie and the ineffective Rooney being well shackled. Eleven points from eight games is a poor return for a club the size of United, which won the league by 11 points last season. Hours after signing a new five-year contract with United, Adnan Januzaj was handed another start and another chance to enhance his burgeoning reputaation.dddddddddddd The Belgium-born winger couldnt repeat his exploits of two weeks ago, when he scored twice in Uniteds come-from-behind win at Sunderland, but it was his incisive pass that led to Van Persies goal. Januzajs curling through-ball to Rooney put the England striker through, but his first-time shot was saved by Artur Boruc. The ball rebounded out to Van Persie, who rounded the goalkeeper and placed the ball to the side of the sprawling Lovren, who was covering on the line. In the second half, only a brilliant one-handed stop from Boruc denied Januzaj a goal following a swerving shot from 30 yards. Uniteds other best chance came soon after the goal, when Rooney smashed a volley against the crossbar. Otherwise, Southampton gave as good as it got in a further demonstration of the teams progress into perhaps a side that could challenge for a European place for next season. The visitors passing and movement, particularly in the first half, was impressive but there was a lack of cutting edge up front, with England striker Rickie Lambert only introduced off the bench just before the hour. Italy striker Dani Osvaldo wasted Saints best early opportunity, when he sidefooted straight at goalkeeper David de Gea after Rooney was dispossessed deep in Uniteds half. De Gea also had to produce a smart save with five minutes left from Nathaniel Clyne but he was denied a clean sheet when Lovren beat Phil Jones to an inswinging corner and prodded the ball home.

Going into the game in New Jersey you could call this Jets road trip "finding a way to win." A late goal in Philadelphia for the win, a late goal to tie and then a shootout win in Florida, then great goal tending by Ondre Pavelec for the win on Long Island. The game against the Devils would go down as "found a way to get a point." When you are down 2-0 to the Devils going into the third, chances are you are done. The Devils are as good a defencive team as there is in the league. Especially with Martin Brodeur in goal. But Mark Flood with his first NHL goal, and Jim Slater (assist to Flood) at 17:15 of the third earned the Jets a point. The Devils did win in overtime, but the point gives the Jets 7 of a possible 10 points on the 7 game road trip. Next up, the New York Rangers on Sunday. (TSN Jets, TSN 1290 6PM central) Nik Antropov was a late scratch for the Jets, so the not dressed list went like this: Stuart, Hainsey, Meech, Jones, Fehr, Enstrom, Antropov, Mason. So as much as they were disappointed with the loss, when you consider everything, take the point and move on against the Rangers. Antropov and Stuart are outside possibilities for Sunday. Paul Postman was called up to join Flood and Brett Festerling on the blue line. Another good night for Bryan Little in the face off department, winning 16 or 23. Alexander Burmistrov won 12 of 17 as the Jets ended the night at 71%. "I like the way we fought back from 2 down because the Devils dont give you much," stated coach Claude Noel after the game. "In the end we made a mistake and it was in our net." Zac Bogosian lead the Jets in ice time at 26:25. With Antropov out Blake Wheeler moved up the Burmistrov and Evander Kane.

SASKATOON -- The Brier final is familiar territory for Glenn Howard. Its not often been successful territory. In 10 previous trips to the national championship game, Howard has won three. Hell play in his 11th final Sunday. "Im proud to get to 11," Howard said Friday. "I would like to have won a lot more than that. You cant win unless you get to the finals. "I want to win this one bad like we did all the others." His Ontario team dominated Manitobas Rob Fowler 9-3 in Fridays playoff game between the top two seeds to earn a direct trip to Sundays final. Fowler shook hands after eight ends. Fowler must win Saturdays semifinal to earn a rematch. He faces the winner of the playoff Albertas Kevin Koe and younger brother Jamie of Yukon and Northwest Territories. "We got beat down, but well get up off the mat and well be here for the fight tomorrow night," Fowler said. "Weve got two wins to get to where we want to go." Howard and his front end Brent Laing and Craig Savill will play in their sixth final at the Tim Hortons Brier in seven years. Theyre 1-4 since 2006, winning both the Canadian and world championships in 2007. Third Wayne Middaugh, who skipped Ontario a national title in 1998, joined the team prior to this season. Glenn also made it to five Brier finals playing third for brother Russ. They won in 1987, when Middaugh was their second, and again in 1993. "Its quite an amazing feat to get to that many," Howard said. "Hopefully the 11th will be good to us and well get our fourth win." His Coldwater Curling Club foursome persevered through an exhausting preliminary round to finish first at 10-1. Their one loss was in an extra end -- one of five extra-end games Ontario played -- to the Territories. Savill also suffered through a vicious stomach ailment through much of the round robin. He required daily intravenous treatment for the first several days of the tournament. But Ontario seems to be hitting their stride in time for the final. In their last four games, including a 6-3 win over Albertas Koe to conclude the round robin, Howard and company controlled those games. "I like the way were playing," Howard said. "I hope we bring that Sunday night." Ontario curled 94 per cent as a team to Manitobas 83 in the 1-2 playoff game. Manitoba finished second in the preliminary round at 8-3. Alberta was third at 8-3 and the Territories fourth at 7-4. After a delicate tap for two in the first end, Howard stole two in the third, scored three in the fifth and another two in the seventh for a commanding 9-2 lead. Fowler was unable to capitalize on the few openings Ontario left them. "The sheet was faster and straight tonight," Fowler said. "Thats a common thing late in an event like this, but until you see it and feel it its sometimes hard for the throwers to adjust. "If you were to look at the two or three little misses we had early in the game that cost on the scoreboard, it was all shots that ran a little bit straighter and were thrown a little bit heavy. Tonight we got a feel for it and well be able to use that information tomorrow night to come back, play our A game and get the W we need." Manitoba third Allan Lyburn came out of the game after seven ends. Fowler says he wanted to give alternate William Lyburn, Allans brother, playing time. "Normally we would have quit after seven ends, but we had to play eight so a good opportunity to get Willy out there and he nailed down two pretty good shots," Fowler said.
