Goaltender Ondrej Pavelec and forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau were put on waivers Monday as NHL teams pare down to their opening night rosters.The Winnipeg Jets announced they put Pavelec on waivers with the intent of sending him to the American Hockey League. The New York Islanders made their move with Parenteau three months after signing him to a $1.25 million, one-year contract.Pavelec has one year remaining on his contract that pays him $4.75 million. The 29-year-old with 371 games of NHL experience was passed on Winnipegs depth chart by younger goalies Connor Hellebuyck and Michael Hutchinson.The Islanders brought back Parenteau in the hopes he could rekindle some magic with John Tavares. Parenteau has 101 goals in 424 games.Also on waivers are Arizona Coyotes defenseman Zbynek Michalek, Detroit Red Wings forward Teemu Pulkkinen, Columbus Blue Jackets forward Gregory Campbell and Tampa Bay Lightning forwards Cory Conacher and Erik Condra.A total of just under $22 million in salary for this season is on waivers. Teams must set their season-opening rosters by 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday.INJURY WOESSidney Crosbys concussion diagnosis shouldnt affect much on the roster, though the Pittsburgh Penguins dont know when the Conn Smythe-winning center will be back. The Chicago Blackhawks expect forward Andrew Desjardins to be out 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury. The Blackhawks put Desjardins on injured reserve Monday.YOUTH SERVEDAround the league, teams are taking a chance on younger players even more so than in years past.The Philadelphia Flyers will have defenseman Ivan Provorov and left wing Travis Konecny, 2015 first-round picks, on their roster, with general manager Ron Hextall saying he expects them to stick for the full season. The Montreal Canadiens will start the season with 2016 No. 9 pick Mikhail Sergachev and 21-year-old Finnish forward Artturi Lehkonen.Beyond their goalies, the Jets will have plenty of youth with forwards Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers and 2016 No. 2 pick Patrik Laine leading the way. Winnipeg doesnt yet have Jacob Trouba signed, and the restricted free agent defenseman has asked for a trade.DEAL OR NO DEAL?Johnny Gaudreau and the Calgary Flames agreed on a six-year deal Monday, but several other prominent restricted free agents still dont have contracts. Trouba, Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov, Anaheim Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm and Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen remain unsigned ahead of the start of the regular season Wednesday.---AP Hockey Writer John Wawrow contributed to this report.

Episode 3 of Foxs Pitch gave viewers an emotionally charged storyline that focused on a game of beanball with Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury) at the helm.As the plot thickens, we find that romance is on the horizon for Baker (not Mike Lawson!); an international player from Korea is introduced, whose interpreter has gone missing; and Padres manager Al Luongo (Dan Lauria), team owner Frank Reid (Bob Balaban) and Reids ex-wife do a bit of political maneuvering. Also, its disclosed that Bakers agent, Amelia Slater (Ali Larter), and Mike (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) have had intimate relations in the past. Oh, and the teams general manager Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos) is getting a divorce. So, yes, a lot happened.But the most important happenstance and shift in development is that Baker was finally given some agency.Over the course of the first two episodes, Baker has leaned on other people to approve her decisions and inspire her. For instance, in the pilot episode, Lawson gave Baker a rousing pregame pep talk to get her head in the game. It happened again in Episode 2 when her brother, Will, instructed her to hire Amelia and when Lawson affirmed her decision to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! telling her to use her platform for good.Ultimately Baker made her own decisions, but they were helped along by the (well-meaning) men in her life. The scenes were moving, but from a feminist perspective, its a little disconcerting to see a character who is arguably a paragon for feminism having to constantly be validated by men.The episode is wrapped up in good ol beanball, a term used in baseball for when a pitcher intentionally throws at or near a batter. The Padres are taking on the St. Louis Cardinals for the first time since a Cardinals pitcher threw at Tommy Miller (Ryan Dorsey) and broke his hand.Miller is the pitcher who Baker had repllaced on the roster and the same person who had been giving her hell since she started with the team.ddddddddddddNo doubt she saw an opportunity to prove her loyalty to the club by getting back at the Cardinals.Oscar and the team owners were nervous about the game because playing beanball with a female pitcher on the mound sounded a lot worse than an average baseball brawl (which ended up happening anyway). Everyone told Baker not to throw at the opposing pitcher, but she went with her own decision and hit him. That sparked a conflict and led to the fight.When the Cardinals subbed in their reliever nicknamed The Mountain, it appeared as if Baker was going to get creamed by a 100 mph fastball. The Mountain, however, walked her on four straight pitches, apparently at the behest of the catcher who (and this is unbelievable) used to date Baker when they were back in the minors.Oh, the drama!From the moment Baker threw at the Cardinals pitcher, viewers saw a different side of her. This version of Baker was defiant, strong and quick-witted. It was a glimpse of the fire that allowed her to persevere through the taunts of her teammates and the difficulty of breaking a barely cracked glass ceiling.Underneath Bakers character development, however, is the meat of this show. Its asking viewers to really grapple with what a female pitcher in MLB could look like and what sort of mundane, regular happenings and traditions suddenly become much more complex and nuanced.Thats the beauty of Pitch. After what some surely think is a gimmick, there are real issues to be considered and explored. The show has done that for the past three weeks. It will be interesting to see whether that approach has staying power. ' ' '
