CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Oregon States Tres Tinkle is still learning how to balance basketball and family -- no easy task when his dad is his coach.The sophomore forward has his own apartment now, taking those first steps toward independence. He hasnt quite mastered dinner, however.I still go home most nights for a home cooked meal. Its better than what Im probably going to making for myself, he said, laughing. But its good being close to the gym and the campus. Late nights, Ill walk over here and shoot.The Beavers, embarking on their third season under coach -- and proud dad -- Wayne Tinkle, open at home on Friday night against Prairie View A&M. Oregon State hopes to build on last season when the team went 19-13 overall and got into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 26 years.But it will be a challenge. The Beavers have just one senior on their roster. Star guard Gary Payton II, who led the team with an average of 16 points a game, is playing in the NBA development league and fellow starter Malcom Duvivier has left the team for personal reasons.Oregon State has a promising group of young sophomores, including the younger Tinkle, Drew Eubanks and Stephen Thompson Jr.Tinkle, the teams co-captain with Eubanks, is the Beavers top returner in average points per game (13.1), rebounds (5.4) and assists (1.1). As a starter, he averaged 15.1 points in 11 games.But he missed the end of last season because of a foot injury which required offseason surgery. He was cleared for full practice three weeks ago and is expected to start Friday.It was tough for sure, missing five of the biggest games of the year is not fun, and especially our past history of not making it for so long, Tres Tinkle said. It stings because you want to be out there, because you worked with them all year and those are your best friends and your brothers competing. You just wish you could be out there helping them.He also said watching from the bench was a valuable learning experience.I think I just learned the game through a coachs eye, I was able to examine the open spots on the court and things like that, he said. It helped to put that into my game, where I saw other people doing things. I was able to learn and understand what the coaches were looking at.Tinkle and his dad arent the only father-son duo on the team. Thompson, who averaged 10.6 points per game last season, is the son of assistant coach Stephen Thompson.And a younger Thompson, Ethan, signed a letter of intent to play for the Beavers on Wednesday. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard is a four-star recruit out of Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California.Coach Thompson posted a photo on Twitter with the words: I would like to congratulate my son Ethan Thompson on officially becoming a Beaver. This is one of the proudest moments of my life.At Pac-12 media day, Tres Tinkle said that every day it gets easier to differentiate between his dad and coach Tinkle.It was tough for me just to know who Im talking to. Once that got figured out, it made things way easier and weve just been growing from there. Obviously, we have days where some are better than others, the younger Tinkle said. But if we look back and reflect on it, its unique, and its awesome to have him by my side the whole way.Wayne Tinkle said he agrees the experience is precious.By no means is this just a father-son experience. Weve got our whole program, our university and everybody behind us, he said. But the side bar of it is were able to enjoy some pretty special moments together.---More college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/Abby Dahlkemper Jersey . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Abby Smith USA Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. http://www.officialsocceruswntshop.com/adrianna-franch-usa-jersey/ . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay. Adrianna Franch Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

DAmigo scored twice in regulation and added the shootout winner as the Toronto Marlies edged the San Antonio Rampage 5-4 in American Hockey League action.Weve had an extremely small window into the mind of NHL coaches who are currently operating with some form of goaltender timeshare. But its enough to at least highlight the early returns for teams that dont have an established No. 1 starter.We can attempt to parse coach suggestions through quotes to the media, but actual starts are really the only way to truly know what a coach is thinking with his goaltenders. Outside of back-to-back starts or injuries, there is no real reason for a team to have started two different goaltenders at this point of the campaign unless there is some kind of timeshare in the crease.With that in mind, lets check out the teams in that situation, and try to address each goaltenders value going forward:Winnipeg Jets: First and foremost, kudos to the Jets for having the courage to demote Ondrej Pavelec. It couldnt have been an easy decision, but it opens the door for the team to move forward into the Connor Hellebuyck era. But moving forward into the Hellebuyck era doesnt mean we are there yet. Michael Hutchinson could still steal away enough starts this season to be useful to fantasy owners, especially if Hellebuyck has more outings like he did against the Carolina Hurricanes in the season opener. Three of the four goals allowed by Hellebuyck were arguably preventable, while that could be said of only two of the four Wild goals against Hutchinson (and Hutchinson almost impossibly saved another one of them with his paddle). It will be interesting to see if the two netminders continue to alternate starts this week, as we suspect they might. At this point, Hellebuyck is the only one to own, as Hutchinson has the higher mountain to climb to be a regular starter.Dallas Stars: Its strange that we still hope for one goaltender to emerge for the Stars, but its hard not to want it to happen when they are a team destined for 50 wins. Unfortunately, the early indications are that those wins will be split 25-25, just as they were last season between Antti Niemi and Kari Lehtonen. Niemi was given the season opener and had a fantastic game, stopping 33 shots -- including 16 in the first period -- en route to a 4-2 win. Coach Lindy Ruff turned to Niemi again Saturday, and got the opposite result, with five goals allowed on 20 shots before he pulled him for Lehtonen. Two things need to happen for this to be a fantasy-friendly crease: The Stars have to show a better overall save percentage through team defense, and one goalie has to earn more than 60 percent of the starts. With neither of those criteria satisfied, neither goaltender is particularly attractive, even for your bench.Tampa Bay Lightning: As we said already, there is no reason for a team to have started two different goaltenders already, save for injuries or back-to-back contests. The Lightning have had neither, yet turned to Andrei Vasilevskiy in the second game of the season. This is a pretty clear signal from coach Jon Cooper that he views both Vasilevskiy and Ben Bishop in similar light. That is not good news for Bishop owners. With Bishop already rested and going into three non-back-to-back games this week, it will be disconcerting for Bishop owners to see Vasilevskiy between the pipes Wednesday. It wont be full panic mode yet, but if the two goalies continue to split starts 50-50, its going to really hurt Bishops elite status. On the other hand, this would be huge for Vasilevskiy, who is still available in 83 percent of ESPN leagues.Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers opened the campaign with Michal Neuvirth in net against the Los Angeles Kings, then turned to Steve Mason the next night in Arizona against the Coyotes. This is an exception to our back-to-back games rule, as the games were on consecutive nights, but it was interesting to note that Neuvirth drew the season-opening start against what was -- on paper -- the more difficult team. Mason has had one of the better save percentages in the NHL the past three seasons, but has never managed to parlay that into the ever-important wins that stave off internal competition. Neuvirth had a terrific regular season as the backup last season and was a hero in the playoffs, almost turning the tide against the Washington Capitals after Mason was lit up in the first three games. Goaltending does tend to be a lot of What have you done for me lately? So coach Dave Hakstol appears to be leaning toward Neuvirth at the moment. Three evenly spaced out games this coming week will tell us a lot more about this situation going forward. While Mason appeared to be the player to stash on your bench before the season began, that could flip in the coming days.There are some other teams on the radar for timeshares, but we havent seen enough yet to put down a strong opinion on what could happen. Specifically, the New York Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes and maybe even the Anaheim Ducks are on the long-range radar.Forwards rising and fallingAuston Matthews, C, Toronto Maple Leafs (up 30 spots to No. 65): Of course Matthews takes one of the larger leaps in the rankings this week. How can he not? After a four-goal debut last Wednesday, Matthews played another 17 minutes Saturday, including a team-high 4:33 on the power play. Its pretty clear the Leafs are going to let him loose sooner and with more frequency than expected; hes certainly earned it. We want to see a couple of more big games before considering him among the most elite. That said, it wouldnt take much for him to vault up the rankings a couple of more times; his arrow is definitely pointing upwards.Jonathan Drouin, C, Tampa Bay Lightning (up 18 spots to No. 95): Another player who is locked into a bigger role than expected is Drouin. He was expected to get a chance on the first line, for sure, but to lead the Lightning in power-plaay time through two games was not a part of the prognostication.dddddddddddd Two of his three points have come on the man advantage, and Drouin looks like hes finally matured into the role of skating with Steven Stamkos on a regular basis. Hes tied with Stamkos for the team lead in shots on goal, too.David Pastrnak, LW, Boston Bruins (up 66 spots to No. 112): An incredible plus-6 in his season debut, Pastrnak shut down any thoughts of him not playing a top-line role for the remainder of the season. With David Backes doing his best Patrice Bergeron impression to open the season, the Bruins top line combined for 14 points through the first two games. As weve seen for several years now, the role next to Bergeron and Brad Marchand is an extremely fantasy-friendly one. The role is Pastrnaks for the foreseeable future.Mitch Marner, C, Toronto Maple Leafs (up 18 spots to No. 227): Wrist shots are the most conducive to goals, according to the NHLs advanced shooting statistics. Marner, despite a lot less ice time than the others atop the leaderboard, is first in the NHL in wrist shots per game, with 3.5. He already has a goal and several ridiculously close chances to his credit this season. Matthews wont be the only Leafs rookie locked into starting lineups this season -- but we already knew that.Defensemen rising and fallingDion Phaneuf, D, Ottawa Senators (down 14 spots to No. 175): A little more forethought into new coach Guy Boucher and we could have seen this coming, so our bad. Boucher is one of the strongest advocates for the use of the 1-3-1 power play, and that means no more Phaneuf on the first unit with Erik Karlsson. Which, in turn, means Phaneuf will almost never share the ice with the offensive catalyst for the Sens. While Phaneuf isnt a void for offensive production, quite a bit of bloom comes off the rose if he wont be getting power-play time on the first unit.Zach Werenski, D, Columbus Blue Jackets (enters at No. 229): This rookie blueliner finished his first NHL game with ice time second only to Seth Jones on the Blue Jackets blue line, leading the team in shots on goal and earning his first point. He didnt play on the power play in the first game, but his performance changed that. In his second NHL game, he led the team in shots again, led the team in power-play ice time and earned his first NHL goal on the power play. Werenski is for real. He is going to stick around this season, and is going to finish a close second to Jones for fantasy value on this blue line. Hes available in 90 percent of ESPN leagues and needs to be scooped up. This is a perfect storm of talent meeting opportunity.Goaltenders rising and fallingJeff Zatkoff, G, Los Angeles Kings (enters at No. 121): Its devastating news to have Jonathan Quick on the shelf for up to four months, not making it through a game for the Kings. Zatkoff has a real opportunity here to shine. The Kings, after all, are one of the league leaders in limiting shot attempts, and will give Zatkoff the best possible environment in the NHL for a goaltender to establish himself. We have slotted him in as a back-end No. 2 fantasy goaltender for now, ahead of names such as Jaroslav Halak and Semyon Varlamov, because the opportunity is that good. If you are a desperate Quick owner that missed out on nabbing Zatkoff, there is an argument to look at Peter Budaj. While the situation is perfect for Zatkoff, he doesnt have much of a track record. If he stumbles, the veteran Budaj will get a chance.Quick hitsAs expected, the Jason Chimera on the top line experiment lasted all of one game for the Islanders. Josh Bailey was there Sunday next to John Tavares and Andrew Ladd, showing off some sick mitts with an overtime winner. Bailey has upside in this role, and will be closely monitored for the rankings next week.The New York Rangers best line, and its not even really close through two games, has been Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad and rookie Pavel Buchnevich. Zibanejad is available in 40 percent of ESPN leagues and Buchnevich in 91 percent. Both of those numbers are probably 30 percentage points higher than where they should be.All of the NHL players who have been on the ice for 45 or more shot attempts this season have played in three games, except for one. Ryan McDonagh of the Rangers is seventh in the league with a shot attempts total of 49, despite only playing in two games. If that kind of deployment continues, McDonagh should trend back toward his fantasy friendliness that was on display three seasons ago, when he scored 14 goals and 43 points.Jonathan Marchessault is fitting right in on the Florida Panthers top line with Aleksander Barkov and Jaromir Jagr. He should be owned in a lot more than 9 percent of ESPN leagues.A hat trick on the books already, Richard Panik is playing with Jonathan Toews and Artemi Panarin and appears, however the lines are deployed, to be a permanent fixture of the Chicago Blackhawks top six. Hes not going to get a hat trick every night, given his limited minutes and non-existent power-play role, but his linemates will continue to be super talented, so hell retain value.Top 250 rankingsHere are the updated rest-of-season, top 250 rankings of forwards, defensemen and goalies, including position ranks. Last week refers to the final preseason rankings, published last week.Note: Sean Allens top 250 players are ranked for their expected performance in ESPN standard leagues from this point on. ESPN standard stats include goals, assists, power-play points, shots on goal, plus/minus, penalty minutes and average time on ice for skaters, and wins, goals-against average and save percentage for goalies.
