NHL Central Scouting released its preliminary rankings on Tuesday and to no surprise, centre Nathan MacKinnon of the Halifax Mooseheads and defenceman Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks top the 2013 list in their respective leagues. MacKinnon, who leads the Mooseheads with 19 goals and 37 points in 22 games, heads an impressive list of prospects from the QMJHL this season. MacKinnon is followed on the QMJHL list by teammate Jonathan Drouin of Halifax, who sits second behind MacKinnon with 35 points despite playing six fewer games. Drouin has recorded 10 goals and 20 points in nine games since his return from a foot injury on Oct. 24. Jones is the top-ranked player in the WHL. The son of former NBA forward Popeye Jones has produced six goals, 14 points and has a plus- 14 rating in 21 games for the Winterhawks. Hunter Shinkaruk of the Medicine Hat Tigers sits at No. 2 in the WHL with 35 points this season, which is sixth in the league. The No. 1 player from the OHL is forward Sean Monahan of the Ottawa 67s. Monahan has produced 11 goals and 33 points in 23 contests with the 67s this season. Darnell Nurse of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds is No. 2 on the OHL list. The defenceman has four goals, 17 points and a plus- 6 rating in 23 games this season. J.T. Compher, who plays for the U.S. NTDPs U-18 team, is the top-rated junior skater in the United States Hockey League. Sidelined the past 15 games with an undisclosed injury, Compher has two goals and three points in six games. The top two European prospects are forwards Alexander Barkov of Finland and Elias Lindholm of Sweden. 17-year-old Barkov has 12 goals and 24 points in 23 games with Tappara in SM-liiga, while Lindholm has five goals and 14 points in 22 games with Brynas in Swedens top league.

Cheap Jerseys From China . -- The Oakland Raiders thin receiving corps got a boost Thursday when Denarius Moore returned to practice from an injury and the team signed Derek Hagan.WASHINGTON -- With the score tied and only a few seconds to play, the hottest player on the court faced off against a defender who had been riding the bench all game. It was no contest. Isaiah Thomas took the inbounds pass and sized up Garrett Temple immediately, driving to the middle of the lane to put in a left-handed floater with 1 second remaining, giving the Sacramento Kings a 96-94 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night. "I seen a guy that was guarding me that hasnt played the whole game, so I felt I had the opportunity to take him," Thomas said with a smile. "And he kind of forced me to my strong hand, so I just wanted to make a play and it happened to go in." Thomas had 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and also had seven assists as the Kings broke a four-game losing streak. Francisco Garcia added 17 points for Sacramento in a game that included 16 ties and no lead bigger than seven points. At the end, there was little doubt that Thomas would take the last shot. The message from coach Keith Smart: Dont settle for a jumper. "Youre going to get by his guy or get a foul. Or you can make a quick play," Smart said. "I thought he did the right thing by driving the basket and getting his little floater. All that drill work he does every day and that little floater gave us a big win." Emeka Okafor scored a season-high 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, and John Wall had 19 points and six assists for the Wizards, whose home winning streak ended at five games. Still, Washington is 6-4 and has been competitive in every game since Walls return from a knee injury -- including a one-point loss at Sacramento on Jan. 16 -- and it speaks volumes that their close losses are no longer seen as moral victories. "I hope it does hurt us a little bit," Washington coach Randy Wittman said. "It stings." Wittman will get second-guessed for the way this one ended. After Martell Webster tied the gamme on a short jumper with 7.dddddddddddd9 seconds to play, the coach figured the best way to stop Thomas was by putting in Temple, who played all of 13 seconds in the game -- all in the final half-minute. "I wanted to try something different. ... We didnt have anybody that could guard him," Wittman said. Okafors jumper with 2:26 to play tied the game at 88, and Thomas made 1 of 2 free throws with 2:14 remaining to start a series of back-and-forth, one-point leads that finally ended when Tyreke Evans made a pair from the line to put Sacramento ahead 93-90 with 19.6 seconds remaining. Walls layup pulled the Wizards within one with 12.6 to go, and Evans made 1 of 2 free throws with 11.7 remaining to make the score 94-92. Webster then tied the game, giving the Kings the chance to set up the winning shot for Thomas, one that deflated a Wizards team that has only recently become accustomed to winning at home. Perhaps the most glaring statistic for Washington: 20 turnovers to go with 20 assists. "I think we just got in a mind-state in a certain point of that game," Webster said, "where we just kind of felt like, Oh, we can outscore these guys. ... We let them get the best of us, and we cant let them impede on our poise. And we did." Notes: The Kings had been plagued by turnovers during their losing streak -- averaging 21 over their previous three games -- but they committed only 11 against the Wizards. ... Washington rookie G Bradley Beal, who has been bothered by a sore right wrist, played only three minutes in the fourth quarter and finished with six points on 2-for-6 shooting. Beal hurt the wrist against Denver on Jan. 18. X-rays have been negative. ... Kings C DeMarcus Cousins, who scored a season-low three points in a loss at Denver on Saturday, didnt play the fourth quarter Monday and finished with 12 points. ... Sacramento F John Salmons played the entire first quarter, then left with a stomach virus and did not return. ' ' '
