Bruins Wrap: Anton Khudobin Makes 36 Saves As Boston Beats Sabres 3-0
It has been quite a while since Anton Khudobin has recorded a shutout in an NHL game, but he snapped the years-long drought on Tuesday night as he turned away 36 shots for the Boston Bruins in their 3-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center.

Handshake cancelled between Anton, Terry
Anton Ferdinand has been spared having to shake John Terry's hand before QPR's FA Cup clash with Chelsea. The Football Association gave the clubs permission not to take part in the traditional pre-match handshake, amid uncertainty as to whether Rangers defender Ferdinand would snub Terry. Today is the first time the two sides have met since Terry was charged with racially abusing Ferdinand during October`s Premier League game between the two. Terry has denied the offence and Ferdinand was reportedly agonising over whether or not to accept his hand. The FA released a statement to Press Association Sport, which read: "Following discussions on Friday evening and Saturday morning involving senior officials from QPR, Chelsea and the FA, it has been agreed there will not
