ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Denver coach John Fox remained hospitalized Sunday as he awaits aortic valve replacement surgery in North Carolina. Fox spoke with Broncos executive vice-president John Elway by phone Sunday to discuss logistics during his absence, including who will serve as interim head coach. All signs point to defensive co-ordinator Jack Del Rio being that man, although team spokesman Patrick Smyth said that as of Sunday afternoon no decision had been made. Del Rio served as Jacksonvilles coach for nine seasons before joining Foxs staff last year. Fox also spoke with his captains, including Peyton Manning and Wesley Woodyard. The players and coaches return from their bye week Monday with team meetings scheduled for 8 a.m., although special teams players meets earlier in the morning. Their next game is Nov. 10 at San Diego. The 58-year-old Fox will have surgery in a few days and will miss several weeks while recuperating. Fox had been told earlier about his heart condition and was hoping to put off the operation until February. As part of his trip to North Carolina over the Broncos bye week, he met with his cardiologist in Raleigh and was told to seek medical attention immediately if he felt any discomfort. On Saturday, Fox became dizzy playing golf near his off-season home in Charlotte and was taken to a hospital, where tests revealed he couldnt wait any longer to have the surgery. At 7-1, the Broncos trail the Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) in their division, but theyre widely considered Super Bowl favourites in the AFC with a high-octane offence led by Manning and a star-studded defence that recently was bolstered by the return of All-Pro linebacker Von Miller from a suspension. Fox is in his third season as Broncos coach after a nine-year stint with the Carolina Panthers. Hes 107-88 overall, including 6-5 in the playoffs. In Denver, hes 29-14, including 20-5 since quarterback Mannings arrival. Nelson Cruz Jersey . - Kevin Labanc and Joseph Blandisi were a potent combination for the Barrie Colts on Friday night.

The Leafs look to pick up a point for the 19th time in their last 20 home games versus Calgary as they host the Flames on Tuesday night at Air Canada Centre. Toronto is 3-1-0 on its homestand and bounced back from a loss to New Jersey on Thursday with Saturdays 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Jake Gardiner and Richard Panik scored 45 seconds apart late in the first period and Jonathan Bernier made 44 saves. Peter Holland and Joffrey Lupul tallied early in the second and David Clarkson added a late marker for the Maple Leafs. You never want to lose back-to-back games, Bernier said. We got an early lead and then we got into penalty trouble in the second and they had a few good scoring chances on the power play. I thought we played pretty good in the last 10 minutes of the third period. Bernier was making his eighth start in a row and is 3-1-0 with a 1.75 goals against average and .944 save percentage in four career meetings with the Flames. Toronto does play on Wednesday as it visits Detroit before returning home for three in a row. The Maple Leafs are 16-1-2 in their last 19 at home versus the Flames and have won three of the past four meetings overall. Calgary will try to reverse that trend tonight as it begins a tough four-game road trip that also features in Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Chicago.dddddddddddd The Flames had a four-game winning streak halted on Saturday with a 3-2 setback to the San Jose Sharks. Mark Giordano and Johnny Gaudreau each scored and Karri Ramo stopped 27-of-30 shots in defeat, his first in seven outings. They pressured us and got us with two quick goals, Calgary head coach Bob Hartley said. Once again we never stop. Thats one credit that our players deserve. Matt Stajan returned to Calgarys lineup and had an assist after missing 16 games in a row with a knee injury. The Flames are expected to get another veteran boost tonight with the probable return of forward Mason Raymond. Raymond has sat out 17 consecutive contests with a shoulder injury and has five goals with seven points in 10 games this season. He had 19 goals and 45 seasons in 82 games last season with Toronto. Mason most likely will be in the lineup, Hartley told his teams website after Mondays practice. Hes worked hard. He looks good. Obviously when he got hurt, he was our leading scorer. We still had a great record without our injured guys but now, the veterans are coming back and its good to see. Jonas Hiller will start this game for the Flames looking to beat the Leafs for the first time. He is 0-4-0 against them with a 4.84 GAA and .849 save percentage. ' ' '
