The Edmonton Oilers have acquired defenseman Mike Green from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Kyle Brodziak and a conditional draft pick in either 2020 or 2021, the Oilers announced.

Green, 34, adds a veteran presence to the Oilers, who are second in the tight Pacific Division race, just three points out of first but just one point ahead of Vancouver.

Green, who has three goals and eight assists in 48 games this season, has played the past five seasons in Detroit, signing there as a free agent after 10 years in Washington, which drafted him 29th overall in 2004.

He is a free agent at the end of this season.

Green brings experience to a position group for Edmonton that is currently missing two of its top defenders: Kris Russell, recovering from a concussion, and Oscar Klefbom, out with a shoulder injury.

"When you can bring in guys that are only going to help your team, help your depth, and we already know what we got in this locker room right now, just to be able to add to that and be a threat, I think it's fun," Oilers forward Riley Sheahan said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Colorado Avalanche have acquired center Vladislav Namestnikov from the Ottawa Senators for a fourth-round draft pick in 2021, according to multiple reports.

Namestnikov, 27, has 13 goals and 12 assists in 56 games this season. He started 2019-20 with two games for the New York Rangers before they traded him to the Senators.

Ottawa sits in seventh place in the Atlantic Division and is almost assured of missing the playoffs for the third straight year. The Senators have already traded defenseman Dylan DeMelo this month.

For his career, Namestnikov has 79 goals and 104 assists in 416 games. His best season came in 2017-18, when he had 48 points in a campaign where he was traded from the Tampa Bay Lightning to the Senators at the deadline.

He will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and is carrying a $4 million cap hit in 2019-20.

The Professional Women's Hockey Players Association is postponing a one-week tour in Japan, citing "the worsening of the coronavirus outbreak in the region.

As part of their "Dream Gap Tour" featuring stars from the U.S. and Canadian national teams, the PWHPA was scheduled to play three games from March 4-7 at Tokyo's Shin-Yokohama Skate Center against the Japanese National Women's Hockey. A roster of 18 players was scheduled to appear, including Americans Gigi Marvin and Amanda Kessel.

"After careful consideration, the Japan Ice Hockey Federation felt compelled to cancel the event in light of the worsening of the coronavirus outbreak in the region. While both organizations were excited for the games, the health and safety of the players and supporters is their primary concern at this time. The organizations will be working to reschedule the tournament in the 2020-2021 season," the PWHPA announced on Monday.

The Japan tour was scheduled a few weeks ahead of the 2020 IIHF Women's World Championships that will be held at the end of March in Nova Scotia.

The PWHPA's "Dream Gap Tour" is next scheduled to hit Tempe, Arizona for a weekend event on March 6.

Viktor Hovland's breakthrough win at the Puerto Rico Open didn't bring with it a Masters invite, but it did nudge the Norwegian significantly closer to Magnolia Lane.

Hovland birdied the 72nd hole to edge Josh Teater for his first career PGA Tour victory, a win that brought with it plenty of perks (spots in The Players and PGA Championship) and job stability (an exemption through 2022). But because it was held opposite a WGC event, Hovland's victory did not give him an automatic invite to the Masters, where he was low amateur last year.

But that doesn't mean that all hope is lost for the 22-year-old. Hovland's win did propel him to No. 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking, a jump of 42 spots. It puts him in line to potentially make the 64-man field at next month's WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, which will be finalized after The Players, and if he moves into the top 50 in the world by March 30 he'll earn that Masters bid.

Patrick Reed's victory in Mexico City moved him back inside the top 10, rising six spots to No. 8 in the world. While Jon Rahm's close call in Mexico wasn't enough to overtake Rory McIlroy at No. 1, it was enough to move up one spot to No. 2, bumping an idle Brooks Koepka down to No. 3.

Mexico runner-up Bryson DeChambeau went from 16th to 14th, while a T-3 finish moved Erik van Rooyen from No. 52 to No. 40. Jordan Spieth fell one spot to No. 54 after a T-58 finish, while Phil Mickelson fell from 58th to 62nd after failing to qualify for the WGC event.

McIlroy retains the top spot for another week, now followed by Rahm, Koepka, Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson. Recent winner Adam Scott is now up to No. 6, with Patrick Cantlay, Reed, Webb Simpson and Tiger Woods rounding out the latest top 10.

Tiger Woods was nowhere to be found at last week's WGC-Mexico Championship, but the results still had an impact on Woods' chances of representing the U.S. later this year at the Tokyo Olympics.

Woods tied for 10th in Mexico City last year, but he opted to skip the event after a 68th-place finish at the Genesis Invitational. With increased points in the Official World Golf Ranking available because of the WGC status, Woods could only watch as Americans Patrick Reed and Bryson DeChambeau finished 1-2 and significantly boosted their respective OWGR average.

The world rankings are the metric by which Olympic teams will be finalized in June, with a maximum of four Americans earning spots in Tokyo. Reed is now ahead of Woods in the rankings, and after being the fourth-highest ranked American earlier this month Woods is now down to No. 7 among Americans even though he's 10th in the world – behind Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Cantlay, Reed and Webb Simpson.

But the news gets worse for Woods when you project how the standings will look on June 22, which is when the Olympic teams will be finalized. Based on those projections, Woods would be 10th on the U.S. list, behind also Xander Schauffele, Matt Kuchar and DeChambeau.

It means that the reigning Masters champ is facing a tall task if he wants to make his Olympic debut, and because he's expected to keep a light playing schedule through the summer it means he'll likely need to get win No. 83 before the June cutoff if he's going to qualify.

But with less than four months to go until the cutoff, here's a look at the 60 men who would head to Tokyo if the teams were finalized based on the current OWGR standings (Note: Countries can send a maximum of two participants, with the maximum raised to four if all are ranked inside the top 15 in the world):

Mushfiqur Rahim has admitted that he had his eyes on a maiden triple-century, but was cut short by a surprising declaration against Zimbabwe late on the third afternoon in Mirpur.

Rahim remained unbeaten on 203, his third double-century in Tests and second against Zimbabwe, before Bangladesh took two wickets to put the visitors in further trouble. Part of the reason for the declaration is assumed to be the forecast for rain on the fourth and fifth days, although Rahim said that the plan was different during the tea break.

Rahim, who struck 28 fours in his 318-ball innings that spanned more than seven hours, said that he may have needed till the first session on the fourth day to complete his target.

"I wasn't aware that we would be declaring today," he said. "I felt that with two days in hand and by batting more on this wicket, we could have helped deteriorate it further. There wasn't any discussion about declaration during the tea break, and we only heard thirty minutes before that we want to give Zimbabwe six to eight overs to bat later in the session.

"If we were still batting, it would have been easier for me [to get a triple], had Liton got to his hundred. Perhaps in the first session tomorrow, I could have reached [the triple-century]. I didn't ask about the decision, but it could be [due to the weather]. But our bowling attack is capable to bowl them out."

Rahim said that the quality of Zimbabwe's attack on a good pitch meant that it was the "easiest" of his three double-hundreds, considering Bangladesh batsmen have had to deal with tough wickets both home and abroad over the last four years.

"This double-hundred was on the easiest wicket. They didn't have much threat in their bowling attack. There was no reverse swing or any outrageous spin by a mystery bowler. I think this was an easier innings compared to the other two.

"It is difficult to play on a rank turner. I think Bangladesh is the only team where the batsmen face tough conditions in overseas matches, as well as at home when they have to play on rank turners. It gets hard to make big scores.

"This time we got a good wicket, so we wanted to make the most of it. In future it may be a different wicket depending on the opposition, but as a batsman I prefer this type of wicket."

Soon after Bangladesh's thrashing at the hands of Pakistan in Rawalpindi earlier this month, chief selector Minhajul Abedin had said that Rahim must "prove" himself in domestic cricket if he warranted being picked for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe.

Despite an animated celebration on Monday upon reaching his double-hundred, Rahim insisted he had nothing to prove to his critics.

"[This innings] wasn't about any pressure release. I made 74 in my last Test innings. I want to make the most contribution for the team. Since it was a good wicket, we planned that a top six batsman should try for a 150 or 200 once he is set. Mominul batted really well too," he said.

Rahim believes that at this stage of his career, every innings must be highly valued.

"In Bangladesh this is when players are discarded, but definitely in world cricket, this is the time when a player really matures as a bowler and batsman.

"This is the time to return the time a player has invested in his career, and that too consistently. Every innings is vital, and I want to maximise every time I go out to bat. I want to make unbeaten centuries, 150s and 200s, which should help me and the team."

Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shikhar Dhawan will look to prove their form and fitness when they return to action in the DY Patil T20 tournament, which began in Mumbai on Monday.

The invitations tournament, which is in its 16th edition, is usually utilised by the Indian players to tune up for the IPL. This time, it will also serve as a selection precursor for the three-match ODI series at home against South Africa, which will be played between March 12 and 18.

Pandya, India's premier allrounder, hasn't played competitive cricket since September 2019, having undergone surgery for a long-standing back injury. He was initially slated to return during the A team's tour to New Zealand - and later the senior side's tour of the country - but was eventually pulled out of both tours as he hadn't attained full match fitness.

Bhuvneshwar, who had undergone a hernia operation after being sidelined from the ODI series against West Indies last year, is set for his first taste of competitive cricket in two months. Dhawan, who is coming back from a shoulder injury which he sustained during the ODI series at home against Australia earlier this year, will turn out for the Reliance 1 team along with Pandya and Bhuvneshwar.

Fast bowler Kamlesh Nagarkoti, who has been sidelined with injury for almost two years, will represent the DY Patil B side. Despite being prone to injuries and not having played for KKR over the past couple of seasons, the franchised had opted to retain him for the upcoming season.

Dinesh Karthik, Nagarkoti's captain at Knight Riders, and mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who last played a competitive game in March last year, will also feature in the tournament.

The 28-year-old Tamil Nadu mystery spinner was sold for big money in the IPL auction for a second successive year, emerging as the highest-paid uncapped Indian, with Knight Riders shelling out INR 4 crore (USD 563,000 approx.) for his seven variations.

Atharva Ankolekar and Divyaansh Saxena, who were part of India Under-19's run to the World Cup final in South Africa, will also feature in the competition.

However, the availability of both Manish Pandey and K Gowtham are subject to their Ranji Trophy commitments. Karnataka will face Bengal in the semi-finals at Eden Gardens from February 29.

In addition to the big names, the Reliance team will also have former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan in the dugout along with James Pamment , both of whom are now part of the Mumbai Indians' coaching staff. Zaheer is the Mumbai team director while Pamment is the fielding coach.

Australia A 176 (Wildermuth 50*, Carse 3-50, Robinson 3-66) and 5 for 180 (Maddinson 52) trail England Lions 428 by 72 runs

England Lions closed in on a convincing win in their four-day game against Australia A, enforcing the follow-on as their seamers continued to impress at the MCG.

Resuming on 5 for 103, Josh Inglis continued to hold proceedings up alongside Jack Wildermuth before he was bowled by Ollie Robinson, and the wickets then came easily for the Lions, Brydon Carse and allrounder Tom Abell taking two apiece as the lower order offered limited resistance. Wildermuth did complete a 10th first-class fifty, but was left stranded as wickets fell around him.

Keaton Jennings did not hesitate to enforce the follow-on, and his faith in his attack was immediately rewarded as Craig Overton trapped Usman Khawaja lbw in the first over. Nic Maddinson, the Sheffield Shield's form batsman, made a quickfire 52 before falling to the same bowler, and then offspinner Dom Bess struck twice in as many overs to leave the hosts teetering at 4 for 85.

Robinson removed Inglis for the second time in the day before rain brought proceedings to an early close, and despite Kurtis Patterson's resistance, the stage was set for the Lions to wrap up a win on the final day.

"We've had another good day in the field but we know there's still work to be done tomorrow if we're to win the game," said Jennings. "Patterson and Wildermuth are good batsmen and I'm sure they'll do everything they can to frustrate us and take the game as deep as possible.

"Our bowling throughout the day was generally good and even when decent partnerships started to form we held our nerve to take advantage of any breakthrough and put the Australian batsmen under pressure. Winning any game in Australia is difficult, so hopefully we can push on to victory tomorrow."

Ospreys and Ulster's Pro14 trips to play in Italy at the weekend have been postponed as sporting bodies react to the spread of coronavirus.

Fears are growing that the outbreak could become a pandemic as more cases emerge around the world with Italy having reported a fourth death.

Ospreys were due to play Zebre in Parma with Treviso the venue for Ulster's game against Benetton.

Italy v Scotland in the women's Six Nations was called off last weekend.

In football's Serie A, Inter Milan v Sampdoria was among four postponed games and on Thursday, the Inter Milan v Ludogorets Europa League game is expected to be played behind closed doors.

Benetton v Ulster in the Pro14 has also been called off as sporting gatherings in Italy fall victim to the threat caused by the spread of the illness.

The Italian Rugby Federation has also suspended its National Championship and youth games for the weekend of 28 February-1 March.

Italy has the largest number of Coronavirus cases in Europe, more than 165, and announced a series of drastic measures over the weekend to try to contain the outbreak.

In the northern regions of Lombardy and Veneto, a lock-down is in place in several small towns. For the next two weeks, 50,000 residents will not be able to leave without special permission.

Parma, where Zebre play, is in the Emilia-Romagna region, immediately to the south of Lombardy and Veneto.

Even outside the zone, many businesses and schools have suspended activities.

What are the symptoms?

The main signs of infection are fever (high temperature) and a cough as well as shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

What should I do?

Frequent handwashing with soap or gel, avoiding close contact with people who are ill and not touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands can help cut the risk of infection.

Catching coughs and sneezes in a tissue, binning it and washing your hands can minimise the risk of spreading disease.
