TORONTO -- Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier will undergo surgery to repair a sports hernia. http://www.atleticomadridsoccer.es/ni-os-jackson-martinez-atletico-madrid-autenticas-camiseta-15-16-nike-11-soccer-navy-away-la-liga-club.html . He says he will have the operation Wednesday and be ready in time for training camp in September. Bernier missed five games in March due to the injury. He then aggravated the problem April 3 against the Boston Bruins and finished the season on the sidelines. "I felt pretty good," he said. "It was sore but my range, my stretching was fine. I think a lot of players play through that." Meanwhile, forward Joffrey Lupul says hes recovering after knee surgery and doesnt expect his off-season training to be impacted. Forward Phil Kessel says he was "good enough" through the end of the season despite a bruised right foot while James van Riemsdyk wouldnt reveal any specifics on his injury. Bernier was 26-19-7 with a 2.68 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage this season. The Leafs missed the playoffs after posting a dismal 6-14-2 record down the stretch. "We all know as a group that we didnt play to our potential all year," said Bernier. "We waited too long to turn the switch on and start playing some good hockey." The injury likely means Canada will not be able to call on Bernier for next months world hockey championship in Belarus. http://www.atleticomadridsoccer.es/camiseta-miguel-angel-moya-atletico-madrid.html . - Jeff Maggert admitted his decisive putt on No. http://www.atleticomadridsoccer.es/ni-os-angel-correa-atletico-madrid-autenticas-camiseta-15-16-nike-16-soccer-rojas-blanco-stripes-home-la-liga-club.html . -- Milos Raonic and Aleksandra Wozniak continued successful injury comebacks as each advanced into the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open on Monday to next face reigning Grand Slam champions.The New Orleans Saints arent kidding themselves about their current situation. Sure, theyre right at the top of the NFC South and involved in a jumbled race for what almost assuredly will be the divisions lone playoff berth. But that 4-6 record? Thats a different story. We cant escape the reality of where we are right now, quarterback Drew Brees said. You are what your record says you are. Were a 4-6 team right now. None of us feel that because were still in contention that thats good enough. We still have a lot of work to do. New Orleans hasnt lost three straight home games since a six-game slide in 2005, but that would change if they cant bounce back against the Baltimore Ravens tonight. You can watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3 and TSN GO at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. The Saints lost 27-24 in overtime to San Francisco on Nov. 9 before last weeks 27-10 defeat to Cincinnati, a contest during which they appeared flat, according to coach Sean Payton. New Orleans has lost by three points or fewer four times but certainly doesnt care about moral victories. Each team in the division is below .500, with Atlanta owning an identical 4-6 record but having won the teams first meeting. If they can turn around their season, the Saints could wind up with a home playoff game despite the current struggles. There have been a number of tough losses, close losses, and what that means is at this point in the season, that margin for error becomes that much more slight, Payton said. Were playing a six-game season right now. The emphasis will shift very quickly to Baltimore and our preparations. We have to find a way to get a win this week. New Orleans will have to do that without two starters, though. Rookie receiver Brandin Cooks had surgery to repair a broken right thumb, and safety Rafael Bush is out with a broken leg. Both were placed on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday. We have to be physically and mentally prepared for whats obviously a very important game against Baltimore, Payton said. The Ravens (6-4) are involved in a tight division race of their own, as each team in the AFC North has at least six victories. They ended a two-game skid with a 21-7 win over Tenneessee on Nov. Atletico De Madrid Camiseta. 9 and have gotten a nice late-season rest due to last weeks bye. Players took some time off and kind of emotionally and physically recharged a little bit, coach John Harbaugh said. You dont realize how exhausted you are until you get a chance to take a deep breath and relax. Harbaugh emphasized, though, that Baltimore has to quickly get back into game mode to be prepared for a hungry New Orleans team. Were going to have a tough environment, Harbaugh said. Theyre coming off two losses, theyre a very proud team, very well coached, very talented. Great quarterback, aggressive defense. Were going to have our hands full and wed better be ready to go. Id like to think our guys understand that, but well find out Monday night. Justin Forsett had another solid effort against the Titans, rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. Hes averaging 5.4 yards per rush, tops among all running backs. Forsett could be in for another big day against the Saints, who are allowing 4.8 per carry and 146.3 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. New Orleans has struggled against the pass virtually all season, ranking 24th at 255.2 yards per contest, and is tied for the fifth-fewest takeaways (10) - factors that could bode well for a slumping Joe Flacco. Flacco threw 12 touchdowns and three interceptions through the first six games, but hes thrown five of each over the last four. The Ravens arent much better against the pass, allowing an average of 251.2 yards (21st), and have an equally low number of interceptions as the Saints (six). Brees leads the league with a 69.5 completion percentage after connecting on at least 80 percent for the second time last week, finishing 33 of 41 for 255 yards and a score without an INT. Hes one TD pass shy of his 11th straight season with at least 20. We know what were up against, said cornerback Danny Gorrer, who had an interception against the Titans. ... Were getting ready to face a Hall of Fame quarterback, and weve got to rise up to the occasion. Baltimore has won four of five all-time meetings, most recently overcoming three TD passes from Brees in a 30-24 victory in 2010.
