Cammalleri is sidelined for 6 to 8 weeks
According to published reports, Cammalleri suffered an injury in his right knee in a loss to the Senators on Saturday. The Olympic break means the Canadiens will be without their star center for at least 14 games, including the next seven contests prior to the break. Cammalleri was injured on a check by Senators defenseman Anton Volchenkov midway at the third period. He was seen leaving Scotiabank Place and remained stiff as he walked.
"I'm hoping it's not too bad," Cammalleri told the Montreal Gazette after the game. In addition to Cammalleri, who leads the team with 26 goals and a plus-10 rating in his canadiens jersey, forward Andrei Kostitsyn, who suffered a knee injury on Dec. 30, can not come back until after the Olympic game.

Jack Johnson is out for the game against Bruins
Kings defenseman Jack Johnson will miss contest against the Boston Bruins due to an upper body injury. Randy Jones will take his place in the lineup. Johnson suffered the injury on Thursday during the second period of the Kings win over the Blue Jackets. During the play, Johnson was hit by Wayne Simmonds and Jared Boll on the boards. Johnson did not come back the game.
Terry Murray explained the injury during the Kings post game media. “Jack got hit on the hit that Simmer had on Boll. It’s a little bit of an upper-body injury. I haven’t got any medical report on it, quite honestly. I don’t think it’s something we are overly concerned about. We’re hoping that he’s able to recover from it and help us be a part of the next two games on the road.” Johnson, who has tallied 19 in 52 games this season in the los angeles kings jersey and was named to Team USA with teammates Jonathan Quick and Dustin Brown, returned to the ice on Friday and skated during the team’s practice in Boston.

The Rangers and Scott Feldman have agreed on a one-year deal to avoid an arbitration hearing for the right-handed pitcher. The club made the announcement at the 2010 Dr Pepper Texas Rangers Mid-Winter Awards Banquet on Friday night. Last season, Feldman went 17-8 with a 4.08 ERA in 31 starts in the rangers jersey and was named the Texas Rangers' Pitcher of the Year for 2009 by the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Earlier this week, the Rangers agreed to a one-year deal with closer Frank Francisco to avoid an arbitration hearing. Francisco, who can be a free agent after the season, agreed to a $3,265,000 contract for 2010. He has made $1,615,000 in 2009.

Tracy agrees to join in Cubs
The Cubs agreed to a Minor League deal with veteran corner infielder Chad Tracy, who received an invitation to Spring Training camp, and will earn $900,000 if he makes the Major League roster, plus up to an additional $525,000 if he reaches 450 plate appearances. He will also earn $100,000 if he wins the Comeback Player of the Year Award.
Tracy batted .237 with eight home runs and 39 RBIs in 98 games with the D-backs last season, with 66 appearances at first base and eight at third base. The veteran has battled injuries the past three seasons, including a right oblique strain last year, and hasn't played in more than 100 games since 2006. His best season came in 2005, when he batted .308 with 27 home runs, 73 runs scored and 72 RBIs.
Tracy is expected to compete with Micah Hoffpauir as the club's left-handed bat off the bench and can serve as both a backup first baseman and third baseman. The Mets, Orioles and Rockies were also reportedly after Tracy. Hope he can play well in his new cubs jersey.

Reds agree to term with Cabrera
A Major League source said late Saturday that the Reds agreed to terms with free-agent Orlando Cabrera on a one-year, $3 million contract. The deal includes a $3 million option for 2011 that carries a $1 million buyout. The Reds have not confirmed the deal yet. The Reds had a superb defensive player in Paul Janish at shortstop after dealing Alex Gonzalez in August, but they have spent the winter seeking a stronger offensive role.
Cabrera batted .284 with nine home runs, 77 RBIs and a .313 on-base percentage in 160 games combined last season with the Astros and Twins. He helped Minnesota reach the postseason after his trade from Oakland. Now he is going to play in the reds jersey.
