ST. Fake Yeezy China . LOUIS - Martin Brodeur felt very comfortable skating onto the ice in his new St. Louis Blues equipment.After 21 years playing for the New Jersey Devils, St. Louis was at the top of his list when he became a free agent after last season.I think for me, looking at teams, it was the most similar what Im used to, what Ive played throughout my career in New Jersey, Brodeur said Friday. It just happened a couple days ago. Im definitely looking forward to this challenge and see where thats going to bring us.Brodeur wasnt ready to call it a career at 42 after the Devils chose not to re-sign him. But he didnt get any offers until Blues general manager Doug Armstrong called Brodeurs agent on Tuesday after goalie Brian Elliott sustained a lower-body injury in the Blues 3-2 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators. Elliott is on injured-reserve and is week to week.Brodeur, who leads the NHL in wins (688), games played (1,259), losses (394) and shutouts (124), took part in the morning skate Friday with the Blues, who will face the Edmonton Oilers.It was good. It was fun to get back out there for sure, Brodeur said. Its been a while. It was a good tempo for me. I know its only a morning skate ... cant wait to see Monday.Armstrong made it clear there are no guarantees for the future Hall of Famer, though.Hes going to practice with us for the better part of a week and then I would say well make a determination, Armstrong said. Hell find out where hes at and well have a chance to work with him and make a decision on whether well move forward with a contract or not.(Brodeur) wants to play, and hes kept himself in good conditioning, Armstrong said. Hes been skating in New Jersey.Brodeur has been skating with Scott Gomez, a former teammate looking for work. Hes coming off a season in which he was 19-14-6 with a 2.51 goals-against average and .901 save percentage, low numbers by his career marks of 2.24 GAA and .912 save percentage.It was a tough year last year for me, Brodeur said. I felt really good playing the games but didnt get really the chance to play the way Im used to playing in New Jersey and rightfully so with Cory Schneider being there. They needed to put him in some games and lock him into a long-term contract. For me, it was important to get out of the way.Brodeur should feel comfortable playing for coach Ken Hitchcock. They spent three Winter Olympics and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey together.He looks good, Hitchcock said. Well get a better test on Monday and Tuesday when we put him in a full practice. ... Well see how he feels physically after we put him through the grind that you get in game-like situations.If the Blues offer Brodeur a contract, he wont just be a mentor for young goalies Jake Allen, who will be the starter for the immediate future, and Jordan Binnington, who was recalled from the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League.I dont need to lean on him, Hitchcock said of Brodeur. I just need to play him. If he says Im good to go, and we need games ... (Elliott) is going to be out, and if he says I can play, Im putting him in ... bottom line.

They got one from Patty Mills, who scored 16 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter as the Spurs charged out of the All-Star break with a 113-103 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. San Antonio is a league-best 21-7 away from home, poised to extend its NBA record for consecutive winning seasons on the road to 17. "Down a couple of guys, not being able to practice yesterday, and to be able to come in here and put together a 48-minute performance like this was great for us," said Tim Duncan, who had 19 points and 13 rebounds during a foul-plagued 38 minutes. "It was a big win for us, especially on the road against a very good ballclub." The Spurs played without six-time All-Star Tony Parker, who will be sidelined "for the foreseeable future" because of numerous aches and pains (including a bruised shin, groin strain and lower back spasms), coach Gregg Popovich said. The 13-year veteran point guard, who played 11 minutes in Sundays All-Star game, is the Spurs leading scorer and their only player averaging at least 30 minutes. "Were just trying to get him healthy," Duncan said. "I mean, players being healthy is so underrated. When people play through things and they arent 100 per cent, the season becomes a grind. So we want to be 100 per cent so that down the stretch and in the playoffs, when we ask him to do all that we need him to do, hes ready to go and carry that load on his shoulders." Blake Griffin had 35 points and 12 rebounds, Jamal Crawford scored 25 and DeAndre Jordan grabbed 18 rebounds for the Clippers, who ended a run of five consecutive home games that began with a four-point loss to two-time defending champion Miami. "Weve got a lot of work to do to get where the Spurs are and accomplish what theyve accomplished," Griffin said. "They kind of have the model of the NBA and how you want to run things. Guys can be sitting out with injuries, and it doesnt matter. Other guys are going to come in and do exactly what theyre supposed to. Its impressive." Corey Joseph started for the 13th time this season and had seven points in Parkers place. Backup shooting guard Manu Ginobili returned to the lineup and scored nine points in 14 minutes after missing eight games since Jan. Wholesale Yeezy Shop. 28 because of tightness in his left hamstring. But centre Tiago Splitter was sidelined for the fourth straight game with a bruised right shin, and forward Kawhi Leonard missed his 12th in a row due to a broken bone in his right hand. All those injuries have presented a stiff challenge for the Southwest Division leaders, who are 8-7 since a five-game winning streak last month. They lead the Clippers by three games for the second-best record in the Western Conference and have two games left on their nine-game rodeo road trip. The Spurs, who came in leading the NBA in 3-point shooting at 39.1 per cent, took a 73-69 lead when Marco Belinelli drained one from in front of the San Antonio bench with 3:18 left in the third quarter. Duncan picked up his fourth foul less than 2 minutes later, but the Clippers never could regain the lead as Mills scored 11 consecutive Spurs points during a 2:26 span to help San Antonio build a 93-81 cushion with 8:46 to play. "He was great for us," Duncan said. "That fourth quarter, he really took over for that 5 minutes and gave us the lead that we needed. We were struggling trying to find points and keep the pressure on them, and he just completely took the ballgame over." Duncan got his fifth foul with 7:03 left, but Popovich kept him in there and the two-time MVP responded with a short hook shot and a 15-footer before Mills added a 3-pointer for a 102-92 lead with 4:35 remaining. "I think my fourth and fifth ones were not very smart. I didnt realize where I was, foul-wise, and I kind of got myself in trouble there," Duncan said. "But they werent able to take advantage of it, luckily, and we all played through it after Pop left me in there."
