BUFFALO, N.Y. -- At a time when the Buffalo Sabres are dealing with a series of season-opening injuries, general manager Tim Murray can at least take comfort in knowing he has earned some job security.Entering the final year of his contract, Murray signed a multiyear extension Thursday about an hour before Buffalo opened the season hosting the Montreal Canadiens.I guess its a vote of confidence when you can get a deal done and dont have to wait until June 30, Murray said during the first intermission. I wasnt printing out any resumes or anything like that but, no, it feels good and it was a pretty simple process.The contract extension comes at a time when Murray is completing a near top-to-bottom overhaul of the roster he began upon taking over in January, 2014.In that time, Murray has purged much of the teams high-priced and aging talent and rebuilt the roster through the draft and trades.The process hasnt been an easy one since Murray replaced Darcy Regier.After finishing last in 2013-14 and 2014-15, the Sabres jumped to 23rd in the NHL standings last season with a 35-36-11 record.Though expectations were high entering this season, theyve since been tempered as a result of a rash of injuries.Top-line center Jack Eichel will miss at least a month after spraining his left ankle in practice on Wednesday. Buffalo also opened the season minus Murrays two top offseason additions: forward Kyle Okposo (knee) and defenseman Dmitry Kulikov (bruised backside).Both are listed as day to day, with Okposo expected to play as early as Sunday, when the Sabres open a four-game road trip at Edmonton.Okposo signed a six-year deal in free agency in July, while the Sabres acquired Kulikov in a trade with Florida in June.Murray said hes going to remain patient and see if the team can jell minus Eichel, who led Buffalo with 24 goals and was tied for the Sabres lead with eight power-play goals and five game-winners.Jack is not a replaceable player, so we have to try this internally, Murray said. Well try some guys here and see how it goes. If its clearly not going to work, then Ill have to get on the phone and make some calls. Daniel Brown Jersey .

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off.

It may be remembered as the most scandalous year in club history, but Parramatta players have vowed not to throw the towel in for the rest of their NRL season.The Eels have nothing to play for but pride over the final six rounds after being knocked out of finals contention in their last-start loss to Gold Coast.But ahead of Saturdays clash against the Wests Tigers, fullback Michael Gordon was one of a number of players who promised not to turn it in as their season from hell heads towards a merciful end.Weve had such a good season and we dont want to just toss in the towel now, Gordon said after a gym session on Wednesday.We still want to show that were a quality team despite everything thats happened and I expect no less on the weekend.The club has lurched from one off-field crisis to the next this season, including the loss of key men Corey Norman (suspension) and Kieran Foran (injury).However, Eels players continue to hang their hats on a relatively successful season on the field, where they have claimed 10 wins from 18 games.If they werentt docked 12 points for cheating the salary cap, Parramatta would be sitting just below pre-season favourites Brisbane in seventh.ddddddddddddGordon said he didnt want to let any teammates down in the Eels final games of 2016.Its having pride in the jersey and pride for yourself and your family, he said.No one wants to go out and throw the towel in now and finish disappointingly. We want to show that were a top eight, top four team, and the way we finish the year will show whether we are or not.Second-rower Tepai Moeroa says preparations for the 2017 begin now.Just because we cant make the finals, we dont want to waste what weve built during the season. We just want to keep building and get ready for next year, he said.Everyone wants to make finals, thats the big goal. But its going to take us another year to get there. Weve got to stay positive in that sense, that its just going to take us longer to reach our goal.
