Saturday after missing 32 days with a fractured finger on his right

OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators will be without No. 1 goaltender Craig Anderson when they entertain the Philadelphia Flyers at Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday night.Anderson took another indefinite leave to be with his wife Nicolle, who is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for throat cancer.Mike Condon will start in his place with Andrew Hammond serving as the backup.Right now, its one game, said Senators coach Guy Boucher, whose team hosts the Florida Panthers on Saturday. Is it two? Were not sure. He wont be here Friday, but well see come Saturday.Anderson, who was the NHLs first star last week when he allowed five goals in four games, gave up that many in a 5-4 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday that ended Ottawas four game winning streak.It was a rare blemish on what has otherwise been a stellar start to the season for the 35-year old.It has been a pleasure watching him this year, said Condon, who is making only his fourth appearance for the Senators -- the first since giving up five in a loss to the Predators on Nov. 17. Ive put in the work since Nashville. Im always ready to go.The Flyers have won two in a row, including a nine-round 3-2 shootout victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.Goalie Steve Mason stopped eight of nine shootout attempts and made 45 saves to get the Flyers that far.The type of performance Mase had is something that injects a lot of confidence into the group, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said after the game. But you have to look at this realistically and say weve to to be a lot better. We simply didnt have enough energy through this entire hockey game. Mase battled real hard for us tonight and hes the reason we got the two points.The Senators defeated the Flyers 3-2 in a 10-round shootout Nov. 15 on a goal by defenseman Erik Karlsson. The key to that victory was Ottawas ability to kill all four shorthanded situations against a Flyers team that ranks second in power plays.However, the Senators gave up three power play goals on five chances to Buffalo.The Senators will be missing winger Bobby Ryan, who aggravated a hand injury Tuesday. Defenseman Marc Methot is listed as questionable.On a positive note, winger Mike Hoffman scored his first career hat trick against the Sabres. The teams leading scorer in each of the previous two seasons now has seven goals after a slow start.The Flyers have elevated center Braden Schenn to the second line. Hell work between wingers Travis Konecny and Wayne Simmonds.Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning remains day-to-day with concussion-like symptoms.The Flyers were 7-5-2 in November while the Senators posted a 9-5-1 record for the month.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta returned to practice Saturday after missing 32 days with a fractured finger on his right hand.Pittas return is even more significant considering the Ravens lost tight end?Benjamin Watson to a season-ending Achilles injury last week.In Saturdays practice, Pitta showed no problems catching passes from Joe Flacco. The reason Pitta remained out so long was the concern he could reinjure the finger.Pitta is looking to play his first regular-season game since 2014. He has only played seven games over the previous three seasons after fracturing his hip in 2013 annd 2014.ddddddddddddRavens coach John Harbaugh expects Pitta to play in the Sept. 11 opener against the Bills.Its a good sign, Harbaugh said after Saturdays practice. He looked fine today. Hes got to get his timing back and work the rust off. Hes back today and hell be back all next week and expect him to be ready to go.In addition to Pitta, the Ravens returned four other injured players: nose tackle Brandon Williams, guard John Urschel, tight end Maxx Williams and safety Kendrick Lewis.
