NEW YORK -- New York Rangers goalie Martin Biron broke a collarbone Monday after being struck with a shot during practice. cheap nfl jerseys . New York general manager Glen Sather said Biron, the backup to workhorse goalie Henrik Lundqvist, will be out indefinitely. That was the biggest news of NHL trade deadline day for the Rangers, who completed a minor deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs. New York received centre John Mitchell for a 2012 seventh-round pick. Sather looked into getting another veteran backup before the deadline, but found the asking prices to be too high. "There wasnt an awful lot of time," Sather said during a conference call. "There were a couple of possibilities, but when youre looking for something with short notice like that, it gets very expensive to find an NHL backup goaltender that has experience. "We just didnt want to lay a lot of things on the line. I know its risky, but I know that Henrik loves the work and he loves to play." Instead, New York called up Cam Talbot from Connecticut of the AHL. He will be available for Tuesday nights home game against Buffalo. Biron was solid in backing up Lundqvist this season, his first with the Rangers. He was 8-6 with a 2.13 goals-against average and .923 save percentage in 17 games. "Its a big loss for our team," Sather said. "He was a big part of it, a very enthusiastic, upbeat, positive guy. Were sorry to lose him." Lundqvist will be counted on to carry much of the load over the final 18 regular-season games. The busiest part of the Rangers season has passed, and Talbot -- or any other backup -- is expected to make only one or two starts down the stretch. "Its always a bit of concern, but hes had a lot of time off this year already," Sather said of Lundqvist. "Henrik likes to play every day, if he can. "I know its risky, but I know that Henrik loves the work and he loves to play. We think that he is going to be able to get through this fairly well." The Rangers made two bigger deals in the days leading up to Mondays deadline. They acquired forward Wojtek Wolski from Phoenix in January after Alex Frolov sustained a season-ending injury, and then got defenceman Bryan McCabe on Saturday from Florida to serve as a quarterback for the power play. Sather and coach John Tortorella stressed several times they didnt want to mortgage the future or give up their prized young assets in a deal. They stuck to that plan Monday. "When you get down to the end, its really a frenzy for the last six-to-eight hours," Sather said. "There was a lot of names thrown around, a lot of people that were interested in our young guys. "We really didnt want to trade any of our kids." The Rangers are seventh in the Eastern Conference and are trying to reach the playoffs after a one-year absence. "Weve been playing very well," Sather said. "We havent scored enough goals the last few games, but I think were in a position where the team is going to be just fine." The Rangers do expect to get defenceman Marc Staal (knee) back soon, and are hopeful that top-line forward Marian Gaborik (concussion), and fellow forward Ruslan Fedotenko (shoulder) wont miss much more time. Sather said Gaborik felt better Monday, but has still been experiencing headaches at night. wholesale jerseys .

When it mattered, he gave the Reds everything they needed in a game they desperately wanted.FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons running back Steven Jackson, who has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, is expected to practice on Wednesday. The news raised hopes around the practice facility that he will play this week at Arizona. But coach Smith cautiously hedged, saying Monday the Falcons "anticipate" Jackson will return to the teams first practice of the week. The running back has been held out since pulling the hamstring on Sept. 15 against the Rams. Smith said Jackson will be watched closely, especially on Wednesday. "This is all based on what the doctor will say in terms of how much he will participate in practice as we go through the week," Smith said. "When we left out of here on Friday, everything was very good in terms of his testing and the opportunity to return to play. "We are anticipating well get him in and well see how he handles it. Youve got to go in and take it one day at a time when youre coming back from an injury. Obviously youre not going to go out there and have him participate fully in a practice the first day hes back." Smith said adjustments and corrections made during the bye week played a big role in Atlantas 31-23 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Smith said he and his staff spent the bye week "looking at everything we do" before the Falcons ended their three-game losing streak. "A number of things we did during the bye week I think paid dividends," he said. Some of the biggest changes were on defence, including a deeper rotation on the defensive front with rookie defensive ends Stansly Maponga and Malliciah Goodman added to the mix. Maponga was limited in training camp while recovering from ankle surgery. The Falcons used the bye week to add depth to the defensive line rotation. "I thought it worked very well for us," Smith said. "We had much better pressure. We were able to sack the quarterback three times. We had opportunities for a couple other plays, but I thought it was nice to see some of the younger guys stepping up." Also, rookie cornerbacks Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford had new rolees with Trufant playing the nickel back and Alford moving outside in passing situations. wholesale nfl jerseys. Smith said the Falcons also wanted to play more of an attacking style on defence. The more aggressive style showed when safeties William Moore and Thomas DeCoud each blitzed on Tampa Bays second play of the game. Moore sacked quarterback Mike Glennon, forcing a fumble, and DeCoud returned the recovery 30 yards for a touchdown. Defensive co-ordinator Mike Nolan moved to the field from the press box level for the game so he could have better communication with the players, including the two-safety blitz which produced the defensive touchdown. "It was a great play call by coach Nolan," Moore said. "He called it and we executed it perfectly and got a big turnover." The offence also made some changes. Darius Johnson was promoted from the practice squad to add depth at receiver following Julio Jones season-ending foot injury and Roddy Whites hamstring and ankle injuries. White was inactive for the first time in his nine-year career. Johnson had two catches and Drew Davis had a 24-yard catch, his first of the season. Harry Douglas led Atlanta with seven catches for 149 yards and a touchdown. Smith wouldnt update Whites status on Monday. Jacksons return could provide another boost for the Falcons (2-4), who managed only 18 yards rushing against the Buccaneers. Jackson, 30, signed a three-year, $12 million deal with Atlanta after posting eight straight seasons with more than 1,000 yards rushing at St. Louis. Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling have shared the carries the last four games. Rodgers caught two touchdown passes from Matt Ryan but neither had success running the ball against the Buccaneers. The Falcons biggest gain on the ground was only seven yards. The good news was Ryan was not sacked while completing 20 of 26 passes for 273 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. "I thought our pass protection probably was as good as it has been all season long," Smith said. "Obviously we have to do better running the football." ' ' '
