CORAOPOLIS, Pa. (AP) — Pitts-
burgh Penguins general manager
Craig Patrick missed Wednesday
night’s home game against Montreal
while recovering from a traffic acci-
dent.
Patrick received minor injuries
late Tuesday evening when his
sports utility vehicle ran off Interstate
79 and skidded down a grassy hill-
side.
Patrick did not require hospitaliza-
tion, according to state police.
According to the police report,
Patrick was talking on his cellular
phone when he lost control.
He wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
No other vehicles were involved
in the accident, which occurred near
the Coraopolis exit in Robinson
Township, about 10 miles from
downtown Pittsburgh.

NEW YORK (AP) — NASCAR’s
new TV contracts reflect the sport’s
booming popularity.
Fox and NBC-TBS won the bid-
ding war for the TV rights to
NASCAR, the only sport whose rat-
ings have increased each year this
decade, three industry sources told
The Associated Press on Wednes-
day.
The deal, which begins in 2001,
was expected to be worth about $400
million a year for consolidated rights
to televise stock car races. That
would be about four times what
NASCAR is making under the cur-
rent arrangement, which covers
many separate deals for races.
In 1985, NASCAR received just $3
million for the TV rights to 28 races.
Terms of the new deal were not
immediately disclosed. An official an-
nouncement was expected today.
Fox, along with cable partners
Fox Sports Net and FX, will get the
first 18 weeks of the NASCAR sea-
son, while NBC and TBS will split
the second half, the industry sources
said, speaking on condition of
anonymity. The sport’s premier
event, the season-opening Daytona
500, will alternate each year between
the networks.
NASCAR said in February that it
will no longer allow race tracks to
negotiate separate deals, returning to
the setup it had until 1978, when it
was in charge of the sport’s televi-
sion rights.
Disney’s ABC-ESPN and CBS
were left out of the NASCAR pack-
age. CBS has televised the Daytona
500 since 1979 and ESPN features
many NASCAR races and shows, in-
cluding “RPM Tonight.”
“We made an aggressive bid giv-
en the package,” ESPN spokesman
Mike Soltys said. “While we’re disap-
pointed and would have liked to con-
tinue our NASCAR relationship, we
have an incredibly strong program-
ming lineup and we’ll continue to be
the NASCAR’s fans daily lifeline to
their favorite sport.”

deal worth $400 million

Pens
A little luck helps Penguins
snap 8-game winless streak
from page B-1
Montreal’s last win was 2-1 over
Buffalo on Oct. 16. The Canadiens
scored more than two goals for just
the third time in 16 games this sea-
son.
The Penguins grabbed a loose
puck after it hit Ulanov at 7:21 to set
up Dome’s goal. Pittsburgh got a
power play less than 30 seconds lat-
er and capitalized when Straka
scored on a 40-foot slapshot — end-
ing his streak of 24 regular-season
games without a goal.
Montreal got its first goal on a for-
tunate bounce at 4:51 of the first.
Trevor Linden’s shot caromed off the
boards behind goalie Jean-Sebastien
Aubin, and Martin Rucinsky was
able to tuck the rebound between
Aubin’s blocker and the goal post.
Zubrus scored his third goal at
17:54 of the first period, converting
Brian Savage’s pass.
At 13:13 of the second, Weinrich
made it 3-0 with his first goal of the
season. Jesse Belanger threaded a
pass from behind the net through
two Penguins and Weinrich one-
timed the puck from the right circle.
Jagr scored his 12th goal for Pitts-
burgh at 16:09 of the second.
Savage, left uncovered by rookie
defenseman Hans Jonsson, blasted a
shot past Aubin from close range to
give Montreal a 4-1 lead in the last
minute of the second period.
Linesman Jean Morin left the
game in the second period with a
pulled groin muscle. The rest of the
game was played with two officials,
referee Mick McGeough and lines-
man Tim Nowak.
ä Sabres 6, Bruins 2 —
Rookie
goalie Martin Biron won his fourth
straight decision as Buffalo erupted
for three goals in the second period
to snap visiting Boston’s six-game
winning streak.
Biron (6-1) made 21 saves, includ-
ing 12 in the first period, and the
Sabres (7-7-2) won their fourth
straight and sixth of their last seven
after starting 0-5-2.
ä Senators 4, Rangers 3 —
Patrick Lalime made 38 saves and
Chris Phillips scored the game-win-
ner with 5:35 remaining in the third
period to cap Ottawa’s comeback
from a two-goal deficit at New York.
Chris Phillips’ goal, the Senators’
third in the final period, came after
Shaun Van Allen sent a pass to the
front of the net that Phillips convert-
ed for his first goal of the season.
ä Islanders 2, Hurricanes 0 —
Felix Potvin stopped 25 shots for his
13th career shutout, and Josh Green
scored his first goal of the season
with 5:42 left as the New York Is-
landers won at Carolina.
ä Panthers 4, Thrashers 1 —
Rob Niedermayer and Scott Mellan-
by scored power-play goals and Ray
Whitney had three assists to lead
Florida. Mellanby added an empty-
netter with 24 seconds left in the
game. The goals were his first since
April 14.
ä Predators 4, Blackhawks 2 —
Rob Valicevic scored three times in a
four-goal, first period for Nashville to
record the Predators’ first-ever hat
trick and lead them to a win at
Chicago.
Randy Robitaille also scored in the
first period to help Nashville snap a
five-game losing streak.
ä Red Wings 4, Stars 2 —
Steve
Yzerman scored two goals, the sec-
ond a short-handed tally early in the
third period as Detroit won at Dallas.
With the Stars trying to tie the
game on a third-period power play,
Yzerman picked up a loose puck on
a turnover by Dallas defenseman
Darryl Sydor, skated in alone and
beat goalie Manny Fernandez with
his sixth goal of the season to make
it 3-1.
ä Coyotes 5, Oilers 4, OT —
At
Phoenix, Jyrki Lumme scored 1:51
into overtime and Keith Tkachuk
added two goals for the Coyotes.
Mika Alatalo scored the first
Phoenix goal, and Trevor Letowski
put in what appeared to be the win-
ning goal with 6:59 left in the third
period. But Edmonton’s Alexander
Selivanov scored with 59 seconds re-
maining to tie it 4-4.
ä Flames 4, Sharks 3, OT —
Cory Stillman’s power-play goal with
37 seconds left in overtime gave host
Calgary a victory over league-leading
San Jose.
Calgary improved to 5-9-2 and all
five of its wins have come in over-
time. The Flames have yet to lose in
a league-leading seven overtime ap-
