| Authentic Stephen Weiss Jersey . His injury was not disclosed by the team, though coach Joel Quenneville did say he expects that Ladd will be fine to play in the Stanley Cup Final, whenever it does begin. On Sunday, though, the Blackhawks felt Ladds loss. Down a winger, Chicago was forced to adjust on the fly. The top line of Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien stayed together, but Marian Hossa, Ben Eager, Troy Brouwer and John Madden all took shifts with Kris Versteeg and Dave Bolland, Ladds linemates. It really wasnt until the Blackhawks were down by two goals that they finally started finding a rhythm with the line changes. "Coach was throwing guys out there to fill the hole and whoever had the chance was jumping," Hossa said. "We were short one guy, but everybody got into the tempo with shorter shifts and we just kept going." Ladd was on the ice, wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, with his teammates for the post-game celebration. He played only four shifts totaling 2:14 of ice time. Whatever his injury is, Ladd will have at least a few days to heal before the Stanley Cup Final begins. "We had Mad Dog (Madden) get up on the left wing and Eager made a big play on the second goal," Versteeg said. "We know we have guys that can step up. Obviously Laddy was a big loss, but Im sure hell be fine and ready to go for the next round." Follow Dan Rosen on Twitter at: @drosennhl Julio Jones Jersey . Florida righty Ricky Nolasco is undoubtedly eager to get back on the mound after giving up a season-high nine runs, including five earned, in just three innings of a loss to the Diamondbacks last time out.

Authentic Steve Nash Jersey . Chicago has had its hands full with the Pacers but MVP frontrunner Derrick Rose once again carried the load in Game 2 on Monday with 36 points, eight rebounds and six assists en route to a tight 96-90 victory. Kyle Korver hit a go-ahead three-pointer during the Bulls game-ending 16-1 run in the series opener, and drained another critical three with 1:04 remaining on Monday after the Pacers cut their deficit to two.CLEVELAND - Anthony Reyes six efficient innings looked like a masterpiece to the win-starved Cleveland Indians. Reyes turned in the longest outing this season by a Cleveland starter and the Indians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-4 on Sunday to earn their first victory of the season. "It was a great team win and we certainly needed it," third baseman Mark DeRosa said. DeRosa and Travis Hafner each hit a two-run homer and Trevor Crowe doubled in two runs for the Indians, who avoided their worst start in 95 years. Cleveland lost its first six games in 1914. The Washington Nationals are the majors only remaining winless team at 0-6. "I was glad to get this one," manager Eric Wedge said as his players packed their bags for a seven-game trip to Kansas City and New York. Jensen Lewis worked 1 2-3 scoreless innings and Kerry Wood struck out the side on 13 pitches in a perfect ninth for Cleveland. Wood, who agreed to a US$20.5-million, two-year contract in December, acknowledged having a rush of adrenaline as he warmed up in the eighth while Cleveland tacked on three runs -- two on Hafners third homer in three days. "Whether youve been in the game 10 years or its your first time, you feel a little nervous," Wood said. "This game meant a lot because you dont want to fall too far back." Lewis replaced Rafael Perez with Blue Jays on second and third and one out in the seventh. He struck out Marco Scutaro and got Aaron Hill to fly out on the first pitch to preserve a 5-4 lead. "He was outstanding," Wedge said. "Then you saw what Kerry can do." Blue Jays starter David Purcey (0-1) struck out 10 over 4 2-3 innings. The left-hander also walked six and allowed four earned runs and four hits. Toronto pitchers walked 10 overall. "Way too many walks," manager Cito Gaston said. "But with all those walks, we were still in the game. One more base hit or a flyball, who knows what might happen?" Purcey said he had difficulty gripping the ball, not because of chilly temperatures, but due to the dry conditions. "I was just throwing them up there," he said. "I didnt have much of a feel for my ffastball. Minnesota Timberwolves Jersey. End result, I wasnt ready to go. I didnt prepare myself and I wasnt ready to throw strikes." Vernon Wells hit a two-run homer and Alex Rios tripled in a run for Toronto. Reyes (1-0) cooled off a Blue Jays lineup that had scored a major league-high 42 runs in winning five of their first six games. Toronto managed only four runs and three hits against the right-hander. "Hes a pitcher," Wells said. "Hes going to hit his spots and change speeds. He did enough to keep us off balance." Cleveland starters were 0-4 with a 13.28 ERA during the teams losing streak. The Indians previous long outing by a starter was five innings, by Cliff Lee in each of his two starts and Fausto Carmona once. Crowes first career hit gave the Indians a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning but Rios hit an RBI triple in the sixth and scored on Wells first homer of the season to get the Blue Jays within one. Grady Sizemore got Clevelands offence off to a fast start. He walked in the first inning then stole second as DeRosa struck out. He went to third on Purceys wild pitch and scored after catcher Rod Barajas threw wildly to third. Sizemore walked again to open the third. DeRosa then hit the first pitch over the wall in left for a 3-0 lead. Notes: Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said LHP Scott Lewis will not throw for five to 10 days. Lewis is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left forearm. ...
