SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Florida Panthers have activated defenceman and captain Ed Jovanovski from injured reserve and say hell make his season debut Saturday against Nashville. Jovanovski had hip surgery in April. Injuries kept him from 83 of Floridas last 89 games, dating to the start of last season. Jovanovski said the hip pain was so bad that lacing his own skates proved impossible. Panthers general manager Dale Tallon says Jovanovski "worked extremely hard during his extensive rehabilitation process and should be commended for his diligent efforts both on and off the ice." The 36-year-old Jovanovski has appeared in 1,091 games with Florida, Vancouver and Phoenix. Hes scored 136 goals and added 359 assists in his career. Florida entered Friday 10 points out of the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Custom Texans Jersey .

And McKinnie and company had difficulty coming up with answers afterward, too, following a 19-0 loss on Sunday that put a dent in the Dolphins playoff chances. "Um," McKinnie said, beginning to laugh uncomfortably when asked what went wrong, "I dont know. I couldnt tell you." The patchwork offensive line — the Dolphins season-long weakness — gave up a season-worst seven sacks and was part of a unit that managed just 103 yards and six first downs against an AFC East rival that had little to play for after being eliminated from playoff contention a week earlier. "I dont know," added right tackle Tyson Clabo of a line thats surrendered a franchise season-worst 58 sacks. "Obviously that wasnt our goal to have that stat..." The Dolphins (8-7) had a three-game winning streak snapped and find themselves in a convoluted mix of four teams — Baltimore (8-7), San Diego (8-7) and Pittsburgh (7-8) — competing for the AFCs final playoff spot. Miami needs help while closing at home against the New York Jets next weekend. The Dolphins loss clinched the AFC East for New England. Buffalos blitz got to starter Ryan Tannehill on the third play from scrimmage. And the pass rush didnt stop until he was sacked a final time on his second-to-last snap of the game. In closing their home schedule, the Bills (6-9) won consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 2-3 of last season. "That was a pretty good beating," Bills defensive co-ordinator Mike Pettine said. "They were flying around. They were getting off the ball and they just looked a step faster than Miami did all day." Veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams and rookie cornerback Nickell Robey had two sacks apiece. Mario Williams, Jerry Hughes and DaNorris Searcy added one each in helping Buffalo to its first shutout in over two years — and first at Ralph Wilson Stadium since a 21-0 win over Miami on Dec. 17, 2006. The seven sacks upped Buffalos total to 56 this season, breaking its previous high of 50 during a 14-game season in 1964. "Its a nice consolation for where we are," Kyle Williams said. "I think youve seen today potentially what we can do." The defence took the burden off a depleted offence lled by backup Thad Lewis starting in place of rookie EJ Manuel, out because of a swollen left knee.dddddddddddd. And the Bills offence finished without its top three receivers. Rookie Marquise Goodwin had a right knee injury late in the first quarter. Fellow rookie Robert Woods was ejected for punching safety Reshad Jones in the facemask in the third quarter. Veteran starter Stevie Johnson was excused to be with his family following the death of his mother. Dan Carpenter essentially sealed the win by hitting a 45-yard field goal to cap the Bills second possession. Carpenter finished hitting all four attempts against his former team, and Fred Jackson had 111 yards of offence, including a 9-yard touchdown. "Im very proud of this team," rookie head coach Doug Marrone said. "It was an honour to be on that sideline and watch those guys perform." Lewis, who grew up in Miami, finished 15 of 25 for 193 yards and an interception. He improved to 2-2 this season, with both wins coming against the Dolphins. Miami crossed midfield only three times, converted just two of 14 third-down chances, and managed just six first downs, including two in the second half. Tannehill finished 10 of 27 for 82 yards and was briefly knocked out of the game with a left knee injury after Williams second sack early in the fourth quarter. Matt Moore took over and provided Miami a short-lived spark by completing a 50-yard pass to Brian Hartline. He followed by throwing an interception to Jim Leonhard. Though Tannehill said his knees fine, he wasnt pleased with the offences outing. "It wasnt one thing, it wasnt one area," Tannehill said. "Every aspect of the game, we failed to step up to the plate." NOTES: The Bills have three players with at least 10 sacks — Mario Williams (13), Kyle Williams (10 1/2) and Jerry Hughes (10) — for only the second time since 1995.
