LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Fenerbahces appeal against a two-season expulsion from the Champions League for match-fixing will open hours before it plays Arsenal in the first leg of a playoff, sports highest court said Monday. The Court of Arbitration for Sport set Wednesday and Thursday to hear Fenerbahces lawyers challenge sanctions imposed by UEFA. First, a CAS panel will on Tuesday hear a second urgent Turkish match-fixing case involving Europa League contender Besiktas. "CAS expects to issue its decisions on August 28 (Fenerbahce) and on August 30 (Besiktas)," the court said. The Fenerbahce verdict is due the day after Arsenal hosts the return match in London. On Aug. 29, the Champions League group stage draw is made in Monaco. UEFA expelled Fenerbahce from its competitions in June after judging that club officials helped fix matches to win the 2011 Turkish league title. UEFA rules bar clubs which are implicated in fixing matches played since April 2007. All parties agreed to let Fenerbahce continue playing Champions League matches until the final verdict. UEFA expelled Besiktas for one season because its officials were implicated in the same widespread national investigation for fixing the 2011 Turkish Cup final. Besiktas has been drawn against Tromso in the Europa League playoffs. The first leg is in Norway on Thursday and the return match in Istanbul on Aug. 29. Fenerbahce has a second, separate hearing against UEFA at CAS on Sept. 20. The club is challenging a threatened one-year ban from UEFA competitions after repeated crowd trouble incidents last season. UEFA deferred the sanction for a two-year probation period. UEFA acted after Fenerbahce fans parachuted lit fireworks into their empty stadium during a Europa League home match against BATE Borisov that was played behind closed doors for previous incidents in February. Fenerbahce reached the semifinals last season despite playing two home matches with fans barred from the stadium. Fernando Valenzuela Jersey .

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The St. Louis Blues take on the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday at Nationwide Arena to close out the season series between the two teams.The Blues (7-5-3) dropped a 3-1 decision to the Central Division-rival Nashville Predators on Thursday. They have only scored twice in their last two games, with the paucity of goals beginning to be an issue that needs to be addressed.I think after a while you start living on one goal, youre not going to win many games, coach Ken Hitchcock told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.The Blues have scored one goal or fewer in eight of their 15 games this season and two goals just twice in the last 12 games. St. Louis has allowed six more goals than it scored.We had chances to score more than one goal, left winger Jaden Schwartz said to the Post-Dispatch. We couldnt find a way and only end up scoring one. Its tough to keep winning when you only score one or two goals.In addition to low goal-scoring, the Blues are taking too many penalties. Theyve taken two too-many-men-on-the-ice penalties in the last two games, and are getting called for delay-of-game penalties for flipping the puck into the stands as well.Scoring goals is hard and its a matter of sacrificing your body, St. Louis right winger Scottie Upshall said. Its a matter of going to the net and winning puck battles, things weve been good at doing. Right now, were taking the easy way out.The Blue Jackets (6-4-2) are coming off a 5-2 loss at the Boston Bruins on Thursday. Boston scored four goals in a span of 4:01 in the first period, chasing goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky aafter making five saves on nine shots.ddddddddddddUncharacteristically, Columbus committed numerous unforced turnovers and saw errant passes by both the forwards and defensemen.It was forwards, it was defensemen ... and the worst part is we hang out Bob in a game like that when hes been playing so well, Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno said to the Columbus Dispatch. We hung him out to dry.The Blue Jackets are hoping the loss at Boston can be marked as an aberration, and not a precursor of a deeper issue. They have been playing consistent hockey and getting some fortuitous puck bounces through the 11 games played prior to Thursdays contest.Were out of the game pretty quickly, coach John Tortorella told the Dispatch. We havent been in very many of those games this year. We take our medicine (in Boston), regroup on Friday (an off day) and start again on Saturday.Columbus has offensive firepower with center Alexander Wennberg, rookie defenseman Zach Werenski and left wingers Foligno and Brandon Saad all with double digits in points. The Blue Jackets have scored nine more goals than theyve allowed this season.Wennberg has a league-leading 13 assists in 12 games entering play on Friday. He also leads the team in points (14), with Foligno leading Columbus with five goals. Werenski has three goals and eight assists and Saad has four goals and six assists.Among NHL rookies, Werenski is second in assists and third in points entering play on Friday.
