The New York Islanders have started the process of buying out the long-term contract of goaltender Rick DiPietro. The Islanders placed the 31-year-old netminder on waivers on Tuesday in order to use a compliance buyout on the final eight years of his 15-year deal. DiPietro is still owed $36 million on the remainder of his $67.5 million deal that has an average annual value of $4.5 million. The Lewiston, Maine native only played in three games for the Islanders in 2012/13 before being placed on waivers and sent down to the American Hockey Leagues Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Since the 2008/09 season, DiPietro has only appeared in 50 games for the Islanders, as he has battled through numerous injuries and inconsistency. Originally selected first overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Islanders, DiPietro has played in 318 NHL games with the franchise and has a 130-136-36 record and a career 2.87 goals against average. The Islanders stunned the hockey world in September of 2006 when owner Charles Wang and general manager Garth Snow signed DiPietro to the 15-year contract. The deal is the longest in NHL history, at the time surpassing the 10-year $87.5 million deal the Islanders gave to forward Alexei Yashin in 2001. The contract was set to expire after the 2020/21 season. Claude Giroux Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.

SEATTLE -- Jared Goff, Todd Gurley and the rest of the Los Angeles Rams who will make up the foundation of the franchise as it moves forward from a tumultuous first season back in Southern California got an up-close look Thursday night at what they eventually must overcome.Even with all its flaws, Seattle remains the class of the NFC West.The Seahawks clinched their third division title in the past four seasons with a 24-3 win over the Rams, adding another setback to an already lost season for Los Angeles. It was the capper to a crazy week for the Rams that started with the firing of head coach Jeff Fisher and concluded with a fifth straight loss.And while interim coach John Fassel soaked up his first opportunity to be an NFL head coach -- with his dad, former NFL coach Jim Fassel, in attendance -- he also was witness to the same mistakes that have led to a miserable season for his team.Los Angeles botched early opportunities to put a scare into the Seahawks, including Michael Thomas dropping a potential touchdown and Goff throwing behind wide-open Brian Quick in the end zone.One play after Goff and Quick couldnt connect, Gurley was stopped on fourth down. Seattle scored on the ensuing drive, and the Seahawks took control.Obviously, losing was disappointing, Fassel said. But standing out in the stadium and my dad was on the sideline and just looking around at the stands -- how quickly things change in basically 72 hours. From Monday morning to Thursday afternoon. Its just a lesson for me that you always have to be ready to adapt and take on responsibilities that you didnt anticipate. But its an experience that of course Ill never forget.Seattle was able to wrap up the division thanks mostly to a bounce-back effort from Russell Wilson. A week after one of the worst games of his career, with five interceptions in a 38-10 loss at Green Bay, Wilson was back to being a dynamic playmaker.He threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns, hitting Luke Willson on an 8-yard score, finding Doug Baldwin on a 1-yard TD late in the third quarter and the capper a 57-yard strike to Tyler Lockett on the second play of the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.Lockett finished with seven catches for a career-high 130 yards.Its taken a complete team effort every time and its a special thing to be able to go to the playoffss five years in a row, Wilson said.ddddddddddddThat touchdown pass to Baldwin wasnt without controversy thanks to teammate Richard Sherman. Seattles star cornerback was livid on the sideline about the decision to have Wilson throw on first-and-goal from the 1, a pass intended for Jimmy Graham that was almost intercepted.Two plays later Baldwin caught the touchdown, but not before Sherman screamed toward coach Pete Carroll about the decision to throw.After the game, Sherman even referenced the Super Bowl when Wilsons pass from the 1 was intercepted by New Englands Malcolm Butler.I dont like it when we throw the ball at the 1, Sherman said. We throw an interception at the 1 -- luckily it went incomplete -- and I wasnt going to let them continue to do that.Here are some other things to know after Seattle snapped a three-game losing streak to the Rams:GOFFS GAMBLE: Goff scrambled for a 15-yard run in the fourth quarter and took a huge hit from Sherman along the sideline. Goff could have gone out of bounds sooner, but exposed himself to the hit. He was pulled to be checked for a concussion and never returned.Its a learning experience for me to make sure the kid gets down and gets out of bounds and protects the football and his body, Fassel said. He also knows that and this will teach him that thats what hes got to do.RYANS RUN: Seattle punter Jon Ryan got his moment of glory, pulling off a fake punt midway through the fourth quarter and running for 26 yards.The play ended in disaster. Ryan bobbled the ball as he sprinted into Rams territory and as he went to the turf, was hit in the helmet from the side and suffered a concussion.SCORING TITLE: The three points allowed by Seattle will give the Seahawks a chance going into the final two weeks of claiming the scoring defense title for a fifth straight year. The Seahawks are allowing 16.8 points per game and close the season against Arizona and San Francisco.GURLEYS ROLE: Gurleys lackluster second season continued. The running back was held to 38 yards on 14 carries, a total that included a 22-yard run. Gurley had five runs that went for no gain or negative yardage.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
