The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired a skilled winger from the Edmonton Oilers, making the Penguins a stronger threat heading into the second half of the season, while the Oilers appear to be setting their familiar path for the draft lottery. Numbers Game breaks down the David Perron deal. The Penguins Get: LW David Perron. Perron, 26, is a skilled winger who has been enduring a tough season in Edmonton, with reduced ice time and point production. After playing a career-high 19:08 per game last season, scoring a career-high 28 goals and 57 points, Perrons ice time has dropped this year, to 16:00 per game, and he has just five goals and 19 points in 38 games this season. That drop, however, appears more drastic than Perrons underlying numbers suggest. PERRON PRODUCTION YEAR G/60 PTS/60 SHOTS/60 EV SH% ON-ICE SH% CORSI% RELATIVE CORSI% 2013-14 0.88 1.91 8.52 10.3% 9.7% 45.9% +2.5% 2014-15 0.57 1.72 6.30 9.1% 7.2% 51.2% +2.3% While he isn’t generating as many shots as he did last season, Perron has spent most of the season with Mark Arcobello and Leon Draisaitl – neither of whom has played a full season in the NHL – as his centres. While his shooting percentage has dropped, there hasnt been an appreciable difference in shot locations, so his career-low 6.8% shooting percentage ought to be primed to improve. Going to Pittsburgh, Perron will see a monumental improvement in the calibre of centre that he plays with, as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are two of the world’s best and their talent ought to be complemented by Perron’s high-end puck skills. The Penguins need help on the wing. They’ve had a need for a scoring winger ever since Pascal Dupuis was lost for the season due to blood clots. Currently missing Patric Hornqvist, Blake Comeau and Steve Downie to various ailments, Pittsburgh could really use a proven top-six winger and Perron not only qualifies to help now, but he could be a long-term option too. At the very least, Perron offers more than a one-year solution for the Penguins; he’s under contract through next season, at a cap hit of a little more than $3.8-million, which is very reasonable for a player in his prime who already has three 20-goal seasons to his credit. The Oilers Get: LW Rob Klinkhammer and a first-round pick. 28-year-old Klinkhammer was something of a late bloomer; undrafted out of the Western Hockey League, he didn’t play a full NHL season until last season, when he scored 11 goals and 20 points in 72 games for the Coyotes. The Penguins, with a lineup decimated by injuries, grabbed Klinkhammer via trade in early December. While he’s not an offensive force, by any means, Klinkhammer is a legitimate NHL winger, who has positive possession stats (53.8% Corsi, +3.8% Relative) in 168 career games. The 6-foot-3 winger also plays a physical game, accruing 248 hits in 101 games since the start of last season. Klinkhammer can handle a third or fourth-line role for the Oilers, with Perron’s departure creating room for Benoit Pouliot to play in a top-six role once he’s activated from the injured list, where he’s been for the past five weeks with a broken foot. Coming at an inexpensive $650,000 price tag, Klinkhammer will be an unrestricted free agent at season’s end, so it’s possible that Edmonton isn’t his final destination this season, but the Oilers have been looking for more size in their bottom six and maybe Klinkhammer could fit that need. The first-round pick is the bigger asset for the Oilers. Even if, as expected, the Penguins finish near the top of the standings, a pick in the 25-30 range offers a little less than 15% chance of turning into a top-six forward or top-four defenceman, but a 55% chance of landing an NHL player. Verdict: It’s easy to like what the Penguins are getting, because Perron isn’t an expiring deal and he’s a productive player who could be a strong complementary piece on a very good team. The risk the Oilers take in making this deal is that they could end up with nothing. Late first-round picks are only a little better than coin flips and there’s no guarantee Klinkhammer plays for them beyond this season.

Mired in an offensive slump, Lowry - the NBAs leader in taking charges this season - did what he has learned to do best, standing his ground and drawing a crucial offensive foul on the Cavaliers all-star point guard.

Updates since Schumachers accident have offered few details and limited optimism for the man who once drove the worlds fastest cars and motorcycles but was critically injured on a familiar ski slope during a family outing. Wednesdays statement was little different, describing "an extremely intimate and fragile situation" for his family. "It is very hard to comprehend for all of us that Michael, who had overcome a lot of precarious situations in the past, has been hurt so terribly in such a banal situation," Sabine Kehm, a family representative, wrote in a statement. "We are and remain confident that Michael will pull through and will wake up. There sometimes are small, encouraging signs, but we also know that this is the time to be very patient." Small signs that physicians are watching for could include fluttering eyelids, or efforts to breathe without a ventilator. "This doesnt change ones opinion of Schumachers situation in general. Its still very difficult to predict wwhat his long-term recovery will be like and if he does wake up and comes off the ventilator," said Dr.dddddddddddd Tipu Aziz, professor of neurosurgery at Oxford University. "In all likelihood he will be severely disabled," said Aziz, who has not been involved in treating Schumacher. Schumacher, known affectionately as Schumi, was hospitalized with severe head injuries after the Dec. 29 ski accident, which split his helmet as he crashed into rocks on the slope at the Meribel ski station in the French Alps. Doctors put him into a coma to rest his brain and decrease swelling, and they operated to remove blood clots, but some were too deeply embedded. Neurologists not involved in his treatment say full recovery appears increasingly unlikely, given the comas duration and the extent of his injuries. "Every brain injury is different and no two routes to recovery will be the same," said Luke Griggs, a spokesman for Headway, a British brain injury charity. "It is fair to suggest that any patient waking from a three month-long coma will face the prospect o
