Andy Murrays thigh problem will not stop him playing a charity exhibition match Wednesday but the Scot plans to re-assess his schedule for the remainder of the year.Murray picked up a thigh strain during his Davis Cup singles victory over Guido Pella on Sunday but it is understood he will not pull out of the charity event at Glasgows Hydro Arena.The world No.2 will face Bulgarias Grigor Dimitrov, with proceeds going to UNICEF and a local charity in north Glasgow called Young Peoples Futures.Murray is then due to play tournaments in Beijing, Shanghai and Vienna before ending the season with the Paris Masters and the ATP World Tour Finals.But the 29-year-old may have to reconsider his commitments if either fatigue or his thigh injury dictates that more rest is required.Murray has endured an exhausting five months, during which he reached seven consecutive finals, before falling to a surprise quarterfinal defeat against Kei Nishikori at the US Open two weeks ago.The three-time grand slam champion then played three rubbers -- two singles and one doubles -- in three days as Britain lost to Argentina in the Davis Cup semi-final last weekend.Any decision to reduce his schedule may, however, be offset by the possibility of Murray overtaking Novak Djokovic as world No.1 before the end of the year.Murray currently trails Djokovic by 2,055 points in the race, although he has admitted his chances of surpassing the Serbian will be greater in the first few months of 2017. nba jerseys china authentic . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. nba jerseys china . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. http://www.cheapnbajerseyschinastore.com/ .

But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle.BOSTON -- There is no panic or frustration. But Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville acknowledges his team is in a tough spot going into Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final. "You lose back-to-back games, it gets your attention," the coach conceded. "Were in a hole right now. We want to make sure (Wednesday) we prioritize the importance of that game and its a different level." Down two games to one, the Hawks face a tall order in trying to bring down the Bruins in their own building. Boston has won seven straight at home and is 8-2 overall at TD Garden in these playoffs, outscoring the opposition 28-17. At least, the Hawks can take solace from their second-round series against Detroit. They trailed the Red Wings three games to one before reeling off three straight wins. "I think were in a tough spot," Quenneville acknowledged. "In the Detroit series we found a way to get ourselves to get back into it. Thats what were looking for. (Wednesday) is a very important game, like we have to win (Wednesday) night. Come up with a good result, were right where we want to be." Quenneville said he hoped injured star Marian Hossa (upper body) will be back in the lineup. Chicagos co-scoring leader was a late scratch Monday, replaced by Ben Smith Quenneville was quizzed on why Smith didnt take the warmup if Hossa was a doubtful starter. Eventually he confessed that he did not want to tip his hand that something might be awry with his lineup. The Chicago coach has other concerns. His team is getting schooled in the faceoff circle, putting the Hawks constantly on the back foot. Boston won 40 of 56 faceoffs Monday wwith Patrice Bergeron winning 24 of 28 draws.dddddddddddd Chicagos power play, which was ordinary during the season (ranking 19th with a 16.7 percentage success rate), has been even worse in the playoffs. Chicago was 0-for-5 with a man advantage in Game 3 and has not scored a power-play goal in its last 20 chances dating to Game 2 of the Western Conference final. The Blackhawks have an 11.3 per cent success rate this post-season (7-for-62), and are only 3.7 per cent on the road (1-for-27). The Hawks are 0-for-11 with a man advantage against Boston this series. Bostons penalty killing isnt helping matters. The Bruins killed off five power plays Monday night, stretching their successful string to 27 consecutive penalties dating to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. "I think special teams last night, they won that war," Quenneville said Tuesday. Whatever the manpower situation, Chicago has not scored in 122 minutes 26 seconds. This from a team that scored 155 goals during the regular season, second only to Pittsburgh. Of course, the Bruins limited the high-flying Pens to two goals in four games in the Eastern final. The numbers all seem to favour Boston. The Bruins are 2-0 when holding a 2-1 series lead in the final. The Blackhawks are 0-3 lifetime when trailing 2-1 in the final. "We know theyre a good team, tough to play against," said Chicago defenceman Johnny Oduya. "But I think we still feel confident. We know we have to steal a game here and thats what were looking to do." The Hawks, like the Bruins, had an optional skate Tuesday with most players electing to skip the session. ' ' '
