Devils’ center Stephen Gionta will be sidelined indefinitely after he suffered a broken hand against Pittsburgh on Monday night, coach Lou Lamoriello said. "He blocked a shot. Broken hand," Lamoriello told reporters after the game. "He'll see a specialist and then we'll determine what the results are. The X-rays showed a break." Gionta, in his fifth season with New Jersey, has three goals and three assists this season. He has 32 points in 165 career games.

Blue Jackets have signed left wing Nick Foligno to a six-year contract extension through the 2020-21 seasons. Foligno will earn $5.5 million per year over the six years of the extension. "Nick has been an important contributor to the growth of our team over the past two years and keeping him in the Blue Jackets family has been a priority," said general manager Jarmo Kekalainen in a statement. "The fact that we were able to get this deal done is a testament to Nick's commitment to our team and this community and we couldn't be more excited that he will be a Blue Jacket for many years to come."

The 27-year-old Foligno has 17 goals and 14 assists in 33 games this season. He is tied for sixth in the NHL in goals, tied for 23rd in points, tied for first in power-play goals (9) and tied for second in power-play points (17). Kekalainen said it was important for the team to sign Foligno, who could have become an unrestricted free agent in the summer, because of the intangibles he brings along with his scoring ability. ''It's the way he plays,'' Kekalainen said. ''He sticks up for his teammates, he battles, he blocks shots, he plays through injuries and he's a heart-and-soul guy on our team.''

Jazz’s Alec Burks will undergo left shoulder surgery, he will be out for the remainder of the season. The Jazz guard was averaging 13.9 points, a career-high 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game this season, but could not play with the same abandon that typified his play his first two years because of pain. "Alec's long-term health has been our top priority throughout this process, and although it is unfortunate that we will be without his services on the court the rest of this season, we commend Alec's commitment and continued effort to play through considerable pain to this point," said Jazz General Manager Dennis Lindsey.

Burks, who signed a four-year contract extension in October, has missed the past two games because of the shoulder injury. Shoulder pain has dogged him since his collegiate days at Colorado but this season he has left several games to seek treatment in the locker room. Until this point, Burks had always opted to play despite any discomfort. "Alec has been tough. He's played through a lot of it. But now it's just the right thing to do," Utah coach Quin Snyder said. "It will leave a hole for sure and there's no one else we have that can do the things Alec can do. We just need the other guys to step up now." Burks had previously missed two games after he hurt the shoulder against Denver on Dec. 1 and had been treating the injury with physical therapy. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard, the 12th overall selection in the 2011 draft, will have surgery on Wednesday at the University of Utah. "After continued consultation with our medical staff, Alec and his representation, we have unanimously agreed that it would be most prudent for Alec to have this procedure performed now in order to ensure that he will be healthy and ready for the start of next season," Lindsey said. Rookie Rodney Hood will take Burks' place in the starting lineup.

The Cavaliers have been granted a disabled player exception valued at almost $5 million in the wake of Anderson Varejao’s season ending Achilles injury. the Cavaliers learned Wednesday from the league office that they have received the DPE worth nearly $4.9 million after Varejao was felled by the tear in his heel. The Cavaliers, whose frustrating months-long search for frontcourt reinforcements has been well-documented, can now use the exception to sign one player or trade for a player on a one-year contract whose salary does not exceed that amount. The DPE expires March 10. It should be noted, though, that Cleveland has already been scouring the trade market with a similar trade exception valued at $5.3 million, which it created in late September by trading veteran guard Keith Bogans to Philadelphia in a three-team swap. The Cavs have been pursuing a number of centers dating back to the summer.

Edinson Volquez watched the Royals make their surprising run to the World Series this past autumn and thought to himself, "Maybe I want to be a part of things there." Volquez finalized a $20 million, two-year contract that includes a mutual option for the 2017 season and was announced during a brief news conference at Kauffman Stadium. The right-handed Volquez, coming off one of the best seasons of his career with Pittsburgh, will make $7.5 million this season and $9.5 million next season. The option year would be worth $10 million and carries with it a $3 million buyout. "I want to be here and help the team win some games, the way they did last year," Volquez told reporters. "We did in Pittsburgh, too, but Kansas City went a little bit farther. They almost won the World Series. Why not do it here?" Volquez fills the last big hole by taking James Shields’ spot in the rotation. Shields became a free agent and it was unlikely the Royals would be able to keep him.

"We know full-well we'll have to continue to make adjustments on our roster. It's not a push-button club, it never was," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said recently. "But right now we feel like we're in a good position to start spring training and to start the season." Volquez was an All-Star for Cincinnati in 2008, going 17-6 with a 3.21 ERA. But he struggled with injuries and inconsistency the next few seasons, and started bouncing around the league. He spent 2012 and part of the 2013 season with the Padres, finished up that season with the Dodgers, and then joined Pittsburgh last season, where he seemed to resurrect his career. The 31-year-old Volquez went 13-7 with a career-best 3.04 ERA, and his 2-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio was among the best of his career. Volquez also ended the season with a career-best 18 straight scoreless innings, and had a 1.08 ERA in September. Volquez was 9-1 with a 1.85 ERA after June 23, spanning his final 17 starts. "I was really aggressive, attacking the hitter, in the strike zone, getting ahead of the count," Volquez explained. "And I controlled a little more my emotions."

A figure in the investigation into use of banned performance-enhancing substances by Major League Baseball players was sentenced to less than 2½ years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute testosterone. Jorge Velazquez told U.S. District Judge Cecilia Altonaga Tuesday that he is sorry for what happened. The Miami Herald reports the judge agreed to let him surrender to authorities on Jan. 12. Velazquez admitted being a drug supplier for Anthony Bosch, who ran the now-closed Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables. Bosch and four others have also pleaded guilty in the case, which resulted in suspensions of 14 professional baseball players including Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.

Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has had surgery on his right wrist, and the four-time Gold Glove winner should be ready for the season opener against the White Sox on April 6. The surgery, an extensor retinaculum repair, was performed by Dr. Bruce Toby at the University of Kansas Hospital on Tuesday. It is not yet clear when Gordon will be able to start in spring training. Royals trainer Nick Kenney says in a statement that Gordon reached out to the team about some wrist discomfort last week. Gordon traveled to Kansas City and underwent testing, and the surgery was scheduled immediately so that he would be ready for the upcoming season. Gordon dealt with pain in the same wrist midway through last season but did not miss significant playing time. He aggravated the injury during his winter training sessions.

Redskins’ coach Jay Gruden vowed there would be changes after a 4-12 season, and the first occurred Wednesday, when the team announced a mutual decision to part ways with embattled defensive coordinator Jim Haslett. Haslett, who had one year left on his contract, finished his fifth season in Washington and first under Gruden. But he had become a lightning rod of the fans' frustration. "Jay and Jim had been talking the last few days. This morning when they were talking they decided it was the best way for both sides," Redskins general manager Bruce Allen said. "I appreciate Coach Haslett's work and what he has done for the Redskins, but I think it was the right decision." Under Haslett, the Redskins' defense has finished a collective 29th in the NFL in total yards and 30th in points per game. This season, the banged-up unit ranked 20th in total yards and 29th in points allowed. Washington suffered injuries to key starters: cornerback DeAngelo Hall, linebacker Brian Orakpo and nose tackle Barry Cofield. A number of other backups also were hurt, including nickel cornerback Tracy Porter, and defense lineman Jason Hatcher, signed in free agency, did not provide the boost needed and eventually wore down from knee injuries. One source of frustration in recent years for Haslett was an inequity in where money was spent on the roster. This past season, for example, the Redskins spent a total of $59,798,367 on 28 offensive players compared to $53,228,545 on 36 defensive players.

Ravens’ Security Director is accused of groping a woman and pressing up against her at the team's stadium after a December game, according to police and court documents. Charging documents filed in Baltimore City District Court said 48-year-old Darren Sanders is also accused of kissing the 34-year-old woman's neck and attempting to force her to grab his genitals. Ravens senior vice president Kevin Byrne said Wednesday that Sanders has been placed on paid leave, per the NFL's personal conduct policy. He isn't with the team and won't travel to Pittsburgh for the Ravens' playoff game Saturday night.

Sanders' lawyers say he denies the allegations. He had a role in the domestic violence case involving former Ravens running back Ray Rice, who is pursuing a grievance against the team over his release for hitting his then-fiancee in a casino elevator in Atlantic City. Sanders launched the team's investigation of the incident, and Rice's grievance centers on how much the Ravens knew about the situation while the team decided how to punish the player. Rice is seeking to recoup back pay beyond his initial two-game suspension. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the grievance hearing will be held Jan. 15 and 16. The person spoke to the AP on Wednesday night on condition of anonymity because the dates haven't been announced.

The woman worked in security at M&T Bank Stadium and was asked to escort Sanders to his vehicle outside the stadium the same day the Ravens beat the Jaguars on Dec. 14, court and police documents said. Police were called and interviewed the woman several hours after the game ended. A police incident report said the woman said Sanders made several comments to her while they walked together, that he'd seen here around and she "looked very pretty." The woman said he then grabbed her breasts and touched her buttocks, the report said. "He hit and/or groped her buttocks more than once as they walked down the third level hallway," the woman told Baltimore police Sgt. Kerry Snead, who outlined the accusations in court documents. The documents said after the grabbing and other advances, the woman told Sanders to get away from her and walked away, then told several co-workers what had happened. A witness also saw part of their interaction, the documents said. A hearing is set for Feb. 9.
