San Jose, CA (SportsNetwork. Marshall Faulk Womens Jersey .com) - Antti Niemi made 29 saves for his second shutout of the season and the red-hot San Jose Sharks beat the Nashville Predators 2-0 on Saturday night. Niemi had 18 of his 29 saves in the third period to pick up his 29th career shutout and first since the season-opener against Los Angeles on Oct. 8. Tomas Hertls goal 5:01 into the game stood up as the winner and Joe Thornton added an empty-netter late as the Sharks improved to 7-1 in their last eight games. Pekka Rinne played well in net, stopping 32 of 33 shots, but took the loss as the Predators finished a 2-1 road trip. The Predators went 3-0 against the Sharks last season, beating Niemi each time. But they couldnt get anything past the Finn in this one. Niemi had seven saves in the first period and San Jose peppered Rinne with 18 shots, only getting one past the Predators goaltender. Thornton started the play when he sent a backhand toward the right circle from the boards. Joe Pavelski turned and fired it at the net and Hertl cleaned up for his seventh goal of the season. The whole first period we had a game plan and we all bought into it, said Sharks coach Todd McLellan. It wasnt just 15 guys; it was all 20 who executed it. The whole night we stuck to it. It was a good team win. Rinne made 11 saves in the second period while Niemi only faced four shots. The Predators were without captain Shea Weber for a time in the second period after the defenseman was cut under his arm when he came down on the left skate of Sharks forward Tye McGinn at the end of a check in the second period. Weber was bleeding under his arm as he left the ice but returned later in the period. Game Notes The Predators host Boston on Tuesday before going back on the road for three games ...

The New York Jets outside linebacker will make his regular-season debut Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, a month after having surgery on his fractured right ankle. Coples was listed as probable on the teams injury report Friday. "Thats probably a story in itself," coach Rex Ryan said. "A young man thats coming off surgery, what, three or four weeks ago? I dont know what to say. I dont know how hes doing it, but hes done it. "Well see what he can do." Coples hurt his ankle during the teams second preseason game against Jacksonville on Aug. 17 and had surgery to repair a hairline fracture three days later. He was originally listed as being out indefinitely, with many wondering speculating as to whether Coples would even practice before the midway point of the season. But he practiced for the first time Wednesday, and the ankle responded well this week. "Is he going to play every snap? No, hes not going to play every snap," Ryan said. "I dont anticipate that, but if he couldnt run out there and take care of himself and be at or near 100 per cent, then he wouldnt be out there. Khari Willis Womens Jersey. "We feel probable that hes going to play. In other words, hes playing." Coples, who led the team as a rookie last season with 5 1/2 sacks, is expected to bounce between playing outside linebacker and defensive end in Ryans defence this season. Hell provide a boost to a unit that has played well even without him through the first two games, ranking second in the league in overall defence. The only player listed as out for the Jets is rookie offensive tackle Oday Aboushi, who Ryan said dislocated a knee in practice Thursday but doesnt think its a serious injury. Wide receiver Jeremy Kerley, medically cleared after suffering a concussion in the season opener, is probable and will play. Also among those probable are: cornerback Antonio Cromartie (hip), defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis (back), wide receiver Santonio Holmes (foot), tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. (knee), and defensive linemen Sheldon Richardson (shoulder) and Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle).
