SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco 49ers know Aldon Smith still has plenty of work to do in order to repair his tarnished image and stay on track away from the football field. Kendall Fuller Chiefs Jersey . They want to be an integral part of his self-improvement project, exercising their 2015 fifth-year contract option for the star linebacker on Friday. The team made the decision despite Smiths long list of legal trouble that included an arrest at Los Angeles International Airport just more than two weeks ago. San Francisco faced a Saturday deadline to decide on Smiths immediate future, and general manager Trent Baalke suggested last week the team would keep the fearsome pass-rusher around for the near future at least -- for 2015, "and 16, and 17 and 18." The 49ers will provide Smith with the support he needs to deal with his rash of off-the-field issues. Yet Baalke has made it clear there must be positive change, and soon. San Francisco realizes Smith still could face a suspension from the NFL for his DUI last September, and is expected to look for depth at linebacker during next weeks NFL draft. "Well, that remains to be seen. You prepare for the worst and hope for the best," Baalke said of a potential suspension for Smith. "There are still a lot of things that are going to factor into that decision at the league level and the club level. Were working very diligently in the background trying to make sure the right decisions are made long term, not only for Aldon but for this club." In his latest run-in with the law, Smith was arrested April 13 at Los Angeles International Airport. Police say the 24-year-old NFL star was randomly selected for a secondary screening and became unco-operative with the process, telling a TSA agent that he had a bomb. The district attorney has referred the case for misdemeanour consideration. That followed Smiths five-game absence last season to undergo treatment for substance abuse after a September DUI arrest. In November, he pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon, stemming from a June 2012 party at his home. Investigators say several shots were fired, two partygoers were injured and Smith was stabbed. In the subsequent investigation, prosecutors say detectives found five unregistered, illegal weapons in Smiths house, including two Bushmaster rifles and an Armalite AR-10T. Yet, what Smith brings on the field makes him one of the NFLs best at chasing down and pressuring quarterbacks. Smith emerged as one of the leagues most-feared pass rushers in 2012. He had a franchise-record 19 1/2 sacks that year, but failed to record a sack in his final six games including the teams post-season Super Bowl run. Smith finished with 8 1/2 sacks and 34 tackles in 11 games last season, making eight starts. His 42 sacks are second-most in the NFL since he entered the league. He and former teammate Delanie Walker were named in a lawsuit last September filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court by a Northern California man who said he was shot at a party at Smiths house on June 29, 2012. The players charged a $10 admission and $5 per drink, the lawsuit said. Smith and now-Tennessee Titans tight end Walker were allegedly intoxicated on Smiths balcony when they fired gunshots in the air while trying to end the party, the lawsuit said. Smith, selected seventh overall in the 2011 draft out of Missouri, had previously been arrested on suspicion of DUI in January 2012 in Miami shortly after the 49ers lost in the NFC championship game. Baalke and the rest of the 49ers hope Smith will learn a lesson at last, and become a better person because of it. Smith said during a January interview with The Associated Press he was encouraged by his strides and confident he had made positive changes in his life. "Im a firm believer in the humanistic approach to everything. You continue to work just like you would with any family member," Baalke said. "Were a family. You dont just open the door and toss people out of it. You continue to work until they leave you no choice. Thats what were going to do. Were going to continue to work with him, were going continue to find ways to support, not defend, we cannot defend the actions of others, all we can do is support." Demarcus Robinson Chiefs Jersey .

I dont think we wanted to go run-and-gun with them, said Benn. Theyre kind of a desperate team right now and thats a dangerous team. I thought we did a pretty good job.After a scoreless first period, the Stars took the lead four minutes into the second. Calgary rookie Markus Granlund won a face-off in the Flames end but Benn lifted Kris Russells stick just enough that he missed the puck in front of the Calgary net, allowing Benn to reel it in and beat Hiller on a quick backhand.I just kind of pick-pocketed him there. It was kind of a lucky break, said Benn, who moves into the top 20 in NHL scoring with 28 points.Dallas took a 2-0 lead eight minutes later when Trevor Daley took a pass from Benn and burst down the right side, ripping a shot over Hillers shoulder as the Flames goaltender dropped to the ice. That would be all the support Kari Lehtonen would need in net.After a busy night in Vancouver the Stars played a much more sound game defensively against the Flames. Calgary has only mustered 11 goals during its losing skid.Our guys played very well in front of me, said Lehtonen, who was tested only 22 times in improving to 13-7-5 this season. Its been a long time coming. Its been such an up-and-down season so far. Its been nice to be able to play a few good games in a row now.Lehtonen has started the last five games, winning four of them and only surrendering eight goals.I didnt like what happened in Vancouver. I thought (Lehtonen) was real good. We gave up probably four or five breakaways and I thought tonight we did a lot better job, said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. I thought (Lehtonen) was real sharp when we needed him, especially about five minutes into the first period when they had the one little flurry. Again, he was a difference-maker for us.Dallas (13-13-5) has won three games in a row to move within seven points of the Los Angeles Kings, who hold the final wild card spot in the Western Conference.The Stars will attempt to complete a perfect three-game road sweep through Western Canada when the play in Edmonton on Sunday.Tyler Seguin had an assist to take over the NHL scoring lead with 39 points (23 goals, 16 assists). He is one point up on Evgeni Malkin and Jakub Voracek.Mark Giordanno scored the lone goal for Calgary (17-15-2), which has gone seven games in a row without picking up a point for the first time since an eight-game losing streak in 1998-99. Chad Henne Jersey. Jonas Hiller stopped 19 shots in the loss.Weve gotta look in the mirror and say, Hey, we gotta maybe change it up a bit offensively, and try and grind some goals in, said Giordano. Were generating some chances, but its not good enough. I mean, one goals not good enough.The Flames started off the 2014-15 season by going an impressive 17-8-2. But they havent picked up a point since beating Colorado on Dec. 4 and have tumbled out of a playoff spot, sitting two points back of the Kings, who hold a game in hand.We had such a great start to the year, we dont want to just waste it in just this one stretch here. We trust our leadership, we trust our systems right now and its just a matter of going out and doing it, said Calgary centre Joe Colborne.The Flames final two games before Christmas are on the road. They play in Vancouver on Saturday night before taking on the reigning Stanley Cup champions in Los Angeles on Monday.Were not as confident with the puck as we were maybe three weeks ago, said Calgary coach Bob Hartley. We played a good game and weve played lots of pretty decent games. But at this level, its the result. Its the points you put in the standings and right now were falling quite rapidly.After intercepting Daleys clearing attempt at the blue-line, Giordano wristed a knuckler towards the net and eluded Lehtonen with 1:15 left in the second period to close the gap.Despite only being down one goal, Calgary failed to generate any sustained pressure in the third period.The Flames best chance came with 28 seconds left when they got a power play and had an opportunity to tie the game with Hiller pulled, but they were unable to take advantage.Notes: Matt Stajan was a healthy scratch for Calgary for the second time in five games. ... Among those not dressed for Dallas was Jordie Benn (illness)... With 23 goals in the Stars first 30 games, Seguin had the third highest goal total through that point in team history. Dino Ciccarelli had 29 in 1986-87 and had 26 in 1981-82. ... The last time the Flames lost seven games in a row in regulation time was December 2-17, 1974, when the franchise was in Atlanta. That eight-game losing streak in 1998-99 included an overtime loss although at the time, overtime losses werent worth a point, which is why it stands as the most recent occurrence of losing seven games in a row.
