by Zack Cox on Sat, Jan 14, 2017 at 6:53PM 2,418 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Danny Amendola will make his return to the New England Patriots’ lineup in Saturday’s divisional-round playoff game against the Houston Texans.

Boston Bruins Power Play Struggling To Cash In On Scoring Opportunities
Share this: The Boston Bruins rank 27th out of 30 NHL teams in goals scored per game. One reason for that lack of scoring is Boston’s power play having the third-worst success rate in the league at just 13.1 percent.

Silverstone: Believe the hype
Movistar Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo had a tough race after weather played havoc with practice, gambling slightly on setup and not able to get into the front group. In that front group, the notable battle behind Viñales saw Rossi and Marc Marquez go head-to-head in a spectacular duel for P3.

Despite missing the podium, the rider from Cervera escaped the battle with a lead of exactly two race wins – 50 points - but Rossi nevertheless gained a little more ground. Source link
