DURHAM, N. Womens New Balance 574 Sale .C. -- Rodney Hood scored a career-high 28 points, Jabari Parker added 21 and No. 4 Duke routed Florida Atlantic 97-64 on Friday night. Parker had his third straight 20-point performance and also got 10 rebounds. He became the first freshman in coach Mike Krzyzewskis 34 seasons at Duke to begin his career with three consecutive 20-point games. Andre Dawkins had 17 points with his first five 3-pointers of the season for Duke. The Blue Devils (2-1) shot 55 per cent, made 12 3s and never trailed. They bounced back from a 94-83 loss to No. 5 Kansas by making quick work of the outmanned Owls. Pablo Bertone had 17 points to lead FAU (1-2), which shot 37 per cent and lost its second straight. The Blue Devils had little trouble claiming their 103rd straight nonconference win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The last non-ACC team to beat them there was the 2000 St. Johns team whose coach, Mike Jarvis, is now in charge at FAU. The lopsided victory came a few hours after two of the nations top high school players -- Minnesota point guard Tyus Jones and Chicago centre Jahlil Okafor -- gave nationally televised commitments to play at Duke next year. Hood was held to 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting in the loss to the Jayhawks three nights earlier that had Duke smarting. In this one, the Mississippi State transfer was the most dominant player on the court and once again put up big numbers against an Owls team that for a while had trouble outscoring him -- let alone the rest of the Blue Devils. Hood finished with his third career 20-point game and his second in a three-game span with Duke. He was 8 of 11 from the field and 12 of 13 from the free-throw line, making his first five shots and hitting all nine of his foul shots in the first half while helping Duke put the Owls away early. Hoods bid for a perfect night ended when he rimmed out a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left in the half and Duke up 52-29. Dawkins got going in his most extensive playing time since his return to the team. He spent last season away from organized basketball while he continued to grieve his sisters death in 2009, and had played two total minutes in Dukes first two games. His first 3 -- which sent the Cameron Crazies into ear-splitting delirium -- capped a 17-3 run that pushed the lead into double figures to stay and included four 3s by four different Blue Devils. Shortly after that, Hood reeled off 12 points during the 18-5 burst that made it a 20-point game to stay. Justin Raffington finished with 14 points for FAU. There were a few ties between the otherwise dissimilar programs: Owls associate head coach Mike Jarvis II was Dukes director of player development from 2004-06, and assistant Tim Kaine is Krzyzewskis godson.

As part of the new collective bargaining agreement, NHL general managers were able to enter into talks with players Wednesday instead of having to wait until noon ET on Friday when the bell rings to open the UFA market. With cap space and a desperate need for centres, Calgary could be one of those teams out of the gates quickly Friday. "I think thats the effect here of this 48-hour period," Feaster said Wednesday. "Some guys will have agreements in principle here over the next day or two. Once youre able to sign and register the contract on the fifth, it will happen very quickly. "Weve had conversations already. Its been a busy day in terms of first thing this morning starting to talk with agents and getting a sense of players weve targeted. Are they thinking of re-signing with their old teams, or are they going to look at other offers and if so, what kind of a term are they thinking about? You just have those conversations and keep having them right through July 5." Feaster introduced new Flames acquired via recent trades. Winger David Jones and defenceman Shane OBrien were obtained from Colorado in exchange for winger Alex Tanguay and defenceman Cory Sarich. Forward T.J. Galiardi came from San Jose for a fourth-round draft pick in 2015. The Flames dealt a fourth-round pick to Florida prior to this years draft for centre Corbin Knight. Calgary hasnt made the playoffs in four seasons. The Flames are re-building. Calgary had three picks in the first round of Sundays NHL draft in Newark, N.J. Two of them came from trading captain Jarome Iginla to Pittsburgh and defenceman Jay Bouwmeester to St. Louis this past season. "Weve acknowledged were in a re-build, but the re-build doesnt have to take forever when you get a group of guys who are committed to the program," Feaster said. "Any time you have a building that is full every night the way the Saddledome is, any time you have an ownership group that is willing to commit the money and spend to the salary cap, any time youre in that kind of hockkey market and a market where the game matters, I think its an easy sell. New Balance 373 Black. ." As a group, the four new Flames players represent Feasters goal of making the Flames younger and bigger. "Its a direction we want to go," the GM said. Jones and OBrien help Feaster address the need for a shooting winger and more bulk on his third defensive pairing, but Calgarys most pressing need is at centre on the first, second and third lines. "It also doesnt mean that were prepared to overpay whether its term on a contract or dollars on a contract," Feaster cautioned. "I think any time you go to the free agency market, they dont call it free-agency frenzy for nothing. The terms starts to run up and the dollars start to run up. "We have our list of centres weve identified and weve started that process and the ones we want to have conversations with. We also think there are still some opportunities to acquire centres by trade." Stephen Weiss, Mike Ribeiro, Derek Roy, Valtteri Filppula, Patrik Elias, Damien Brunner, Tyler Bozak and Dan Briere are among the centres scheduled to enter unrestricted free agency Friday. Teams up against a salary cap that will drop from $70.2 million to $64.3 million next season will need to shift bodies. According to capgeek.com, the Flames currently have almost $17.5 million in cap space to work with for 2013-14. That doesnt count the $5.8 million goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff would count against the cap. The Flames await a decision from the 36-year-old Finn on whether hell retire or return to the NHL for the final year of his contract. Either scenario is beneficial for Calgary, so theyre not pressing him for a decision. The Flames either get the extra cap space or they get an asset they can trade and cap room. Kiprusoff spent the last nine seasons with the Flames and helped them reach the Stanley Cup final in 2004. He won the Vezina Trophy as the leagues top goaltender in 2006. But Kiprusoffs return to the Flames seems unlikely with Joey MacDonald and Swiss netminder Reto Berra already under contract. Feaster said he expects to announce the signing of Finnish goaltender Karri Ramo on Friday.
