OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators will be without No. 1 goaltender Craig Anderson when they entertain the Philadelphia Flyers at Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday night.Anderson took another indefinite leave to be with his wife Nicolle, who is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for throat cancer.Mike Condon will start in his place with Andrew Hammond serving as the backup.Right now, its one game, said Senators coach Guy Boucher, whose team hosts the Florida Panthers on Saturday. Is it two? Were not sure. He wont be here Friday, but well see come Saturday.Anderson, who was the NHLs first star last week when he allowed five goals in four games, gave up that many in a 5-4 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday that ended Ottawas four game winning streak.It was a rare blemish on what has otherwise been a stellar start to the season for the 35-year old.It has been a pleasure watching him this year, said Condon, who is making only his fourth appearance for the Senators -- the first since giving up five in a loss to the Predators on Nov. 17. Ive put in the work since Nashville. Im always ready to go.The Flyers have won two in a row, including a nine-round 3-2 shootout victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.Goalie Steve Mason stopped eight of nine shootout attempts and made 45 saves to get the Flyers that far.The type of performance Mase had is something that injects a lot of confidence into the group, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said after the game. But you have to look at this realistically and say weve to to be a lot better. We simply didnt have enough energy through this entire hockey game. Mase battled real hard for us tonight and hes the reason we got the two points.The Senators defeated the Flyers 3-2 in a 10-round shootout Nov. 15 on a goal by defenseman Erik Karlsson. The key to that victory was Ottawas ability to kill all four shorthanded situations against a Flyers team that ranks second in power plays.However, the Senators gave up three power play goals on five chances to Buffalo.The Senators will be missing winger Bobby Ryan, who aggravated a hand injury Tuesday. Defenseman Marc Methot is listed as questionable.On a positive note, winger Mike Hoffman scored his first career hat trick against the Sabres. The teams leading scorer in each of the previous two seasons now has seven goals after a slow start.The Flyers have elevated center Braden Schenn to the second line. Hell work between wingers Travis Konecny and Wayne Simmonds.Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning remains day-to-day with concussion-like symptoms.The Flyers were 7-5-2 in November while the Senators posted a 9-5-1 record for the month.

LOS ANGELES -- USC?coach Clay Helton said Thursday hell announce the teams starting quarterback Aug. 20, the day after the schools Salute to Troy event.That would give redshirt junior Max Browne or redshirt freshman Sam Darnold, the two quarterbacks competing for the job, two weeks to prepare for the Sept. 3 opener against Alabama.Helton echoed previous statements he made after spring practice, that if he had to name a starter Browne would win the job, but that there wasnt enough separation between the two to make a final decision.Today, both of them played well, Helton said after USC opened camp. I thought that they made good decisions. Just like it was in the spring, both are playing at a very high level.USC has 17 scheduled practices remaining before Helton names a starter.Because of NCAA rules that mandate two nonpadded practices to start training camp, Thursdays night session was in shorts and helmets.

I watch film until I find myself passed out on the chair, then I flop on the couch and wake up, get a cup of coffee and start again, Helton said. Its all-encompassing. You worry about your team, but youre also, in the back of your mind, every little waking second that you get, youre preparing for your next game, and our next game is Alabama.Linebacker Cam Smith and offensive lineman Toa Lobendahn, both of whom missed the end of last season and all of spring practice with knee injuries, were full participants in practice Thursday.
