PITTSBURGH -- Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury likely will get back in the Pittsburgh Penguins net in the next two nights -- a good guess would be Friday against the Los Angeles Kings at PPG Paints Arena -- with back-to-back games on tap.That would leave Matt Murray, who has started a season-high four games in a row, to start the other of the two games, probably Saturday at Toronto.For more than a decade, Fleury was Pittsburghs franchise, go-to goalie. A concussion last spring opened the door for Murray, 22, who backstopped the Penguins to the Stanley Cup.Now Fleury, 32, is learning something new: what to with down time. With coach Mike Sullivan seemingly in the mode of riding the hot hand, Fleury (8-5-2) has not played since Dec. 5 against the Ottawa Senators. It was his third consecutive start, but he got pulled for Murray in the second period.Marcs been great. Hes a good pro, Sullivan said. He controls what he can. He tries to do everything in his power to keep himself sharp, and thats all you can do as a player.It is a different experience for the veteran.I dont know. Its tough to figure it out, Fleury said Thursday of not seeing game action for what would be 11 days if he starts Friday. I just do little things with (goaltending coach Mike Bales) here and there, try to stay sharp, go over technical points, get on the ice early a little bit.If it is weighing on Fleury, he isnt showing it. He was in a jovial mood after practice. Before practice, he went on the ice alone without pads and with a forwards stick, skating and shooting. He joked he was ready to fill in should Pittsburgh need an extra forward.The Penguins, 20-7-3 and riding a seven-game winning streak, seem fine in the forward department. However, they will need to get by without top defenseman Kris Letang, who plays in all situations and has 19 points, including seven assists in the past seven games.Sullivan announced Thursday that Letang will miss a few weeks because of a lower-body injury.It will be by committee, Sullivan said of replacing Letang. We think we have capable people, and well sort it out. But hes a tough guy to replace.The Kings (15-12-2) also are dealing with a goaltending situation, but its not working out as well as the Penguins.No. 1 goaltender Jonathan Quick has missed most of the season because of a groin injury, and general manager Dean Lombardi said this week that Quick will be out until around mid-February. That has left the Kings just hanging around the playoff cutoff in the West.Peter Budaj was asked to pick up most of the slack, perhaps too much of it. He started 25 of 26 games before former Pittsburgh backup Jeff Zatkoff started Thursday in Detroit. Zatkoff made 17 saves in a 4-1 victory to pick up just his second win to go with five losses.Lombardi told the Los Angeles Times that he looked to trade for goaltending help.Youre almost going down to the third man on the depth chart when youre talking to a lot of these teams, and then you also have the issue if you highlight a certain guy you have the realization that you have a No. 1 goalie (Quick) coming back, too, with (the) expansion (draft) coming, Lombardi told the Times.What are you going to give up for a two-month asset?Hanging around .500 -- 2-2-1 in the five games before the win at Detroit -- and being 5-8-1 on the road is frustrating for the Kings. The players held a closed-door meeting Tuesday after a 6-3 loss at Buffalo.A little bit of panic in our game right now, Los Angeles Dustin Brown told the Times. Thats when you have to come together and support each other.The Penguins expect the Kings to give them a tough game, just as the Boston Bruins did Wednesday, when Pittsburgh overcame a couple of one-goal deficits and won in overtime, 4-3.Theyre structured, just like Boston, Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby said. Theyre comfortable playing in tight games, low-scoring games. We still have to play our game and try to produce, but understand that theyre looking for turnovers, looking for mistakes, and we dont want to give that to them. Cheap Air Max China . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. Wholesale Air Max 720 .

MIAMI -- Kenta Maeda bought some time for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jose Urena was just too good.The Dodgers managed just four hits against Urena and A.J. Ramos in a 3-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday.Maeda pitched six effective innings, allowing three runs, two earned, and eight hits. But Josh Reddick, Corey Seager, Adrian Gonzalez and Joc Pederson had the only hits for Los Angeles.I thought Kenta threw the ball well, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. There was a lot of soft contact with Kenta and those guys took what they gave him. I thought he pitched well enough to win.Miami won six of seven in the season series.They had our number this year, Roberts said.The Marlins jumped ahead with two runs in the fourth inning. Ichiro Suzuki, Martin Prado, and Christian Yelich hit consecutive singles for the first run and Justin Bour followed with a sacrifice fly.I didnt think I was pitching well the first three innings, Maeda said through an interpreter. I think a lot of the balls were hit well were at guys so in general I didnt really feel I had a good feel.Maeda (14-9) struck out three and walked one. He had won six of his last seven decisions.The Dodgers lost two of three in the series. Their NL West lead was trimmed to three games by San Francisco, which swept Arizona with a 5-3 victory.Urena pitched 8 2/3 innings of four-hit ball. He retired the first 14 batters he faced.When you get quick outs early in the game, that helps you more and you can get more deep in the game, Urena said. You just have to be aggressive and go after the hitters.Urena struck out four and walked none while throwing 71 of 108 pitches for strikes. It was by far the longest appearance of his 45 major league games.Youve got to give Urena credit, the kid threw the ball well, Roberts said. It doesnt matter how well were swinging or what happened yesterday, he threw the ball well. He did his job.The 24-year-old Urena was lifted after giving upp a base hit to Reddick.dddddddddddd A.J. Ramos got the final out for his 34th save in 37 chances.It seemed like his pitches were getting flatter and up in the zone, and we didnt want to put A.J. in a situation where he couldnt make one bad pitch, Miami manager Don Mattingly said.The Dodgers put two on with one out in the seventh, but Urena got Yasmani Grandal to ground into a double play.Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier made his first start of the season after making a pinch-hit appearance on Sunday. Ethier, who was out with a broken right leg, went 0 for 3.SHUTOUT DROUGHT CONTINUESThe Marlins have not had a pitcher toss a shutout since Henderson Alvarez accomplished the feat against Tampa Bay on June 3, 2014. Its the longest current drought in the majors.I was working hard to get the complete game, but I knew if I let somebody on base (in the ninth) I would be out of the game, Urena said.NICE PLAYMarlins second baseman Dee Gordon showed off his glove in the sixth inning, snagging a hard grounder hit by Chase Utley, falling to the ground and spinning before throwing out Utley at first.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: RHP David Phelps (left oblique strain) was reinstated from the 15-day disabled list. Phelps, who has not pitched since Aug. 26, started in his last five appearances after coming out of the bullpen for his first 50. The Marlins have not announced the plan for Phelps down the stretch.UP NEXTDodgers: RHP Jose De Leon (1-0, 4.50 ERA) will start Mondays game against Yankees RHP Bryan Mitchell (1-0, 1.00 ERA), beginning a three-game series in New York.Marlins: RHP Andrew Cashner (5-11, 4.77 ERA) will face Braves RHP Mike Foltynewicz (8-5, 4.16 ERA) on Monday in Atlanta.
