The New York Islanders re-signed goalie Evgeni Nabokov and defenceman Travis Hamonic, and still had time and money to add two forwards in free agency on Friday. Nabokov will return after signing a one-year, $3.25 million contract. Hamonic agreed to a seven-year, $27 million deal after the Islanders had previously retained the rights to the restricted free agent. New York then added to its roster by signing forwards Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Peter Regin both to one-year deals. Bouchards contract is worth $2 million. Navokov was a key move for the teams immediate future and settled its goaltending position. The 37-year-old Nabokov went 23-11-7 with three shutouts in helping the Islanders reach the playoffs for the first time since 2007. New York was in need of veteran goaltending help after buying out the contract of Rick DiPietro. Hamonics signing was a big step in the Islanders long-term future. "We are excited to come to terms with Travis, who is an important part of our young core," general manager Garth Snow said. "He has shown he can play important minutes in any situation." The teams 2008 second-round draft pick has 10 goals and 50 assists in 183 games over three seasons. Hamonic had three goals and seven assists and averaged nearly 23 minutes of ice time in 48 games last season. Bouchard is a dependable left wing who spent his first 10 seasons with Minnesota. He has 106 goals and 241 assists in 565 NHL games. Regin spent the past five seasons with the Ottawa Senators. He managed just three assists in 27 games last season. Regin set career highs with 13 goals and 29 points in 75 games in the 2009-10 season. Josh Tupou Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.

MADRID -- The Spanish league is off to a tight race atop the standings, with five teams separated by only three points. Yet, most of the talk entering the weekend is about whether Cristiano Ronaldo will end his scoring slump.Real Madrid leads the league ahead of its match at Alaves on Saturday, but not thanks to Ronaldos recent performances. The forward is enduring his worst start to a season since joining Madrid in 2009, having scored only four goals in nine matches.When youre used to scoring almost 70 goals a season, its almost like an addiction for goals, Madrid reserve forward Alvaro Morata said. For us, he is the most important player in the team and I hope that he scores lots of goals, but he is not a machine. He is a human being. Even if he comes from another planet and is different, he also has the right to miss.Ronaldo also scored five goals in two games with Portugal, against Andorra and the Faeroe Islands in World Cup qualifying, but thats no reprieve to the demanding Madrid fans.He was jeered by the crowd at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium after another disappointing performance in a 2-1 win against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.The fans demand a lot of players, Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said. The Bernabeu is special and we know it. Cristiano knows it and he is used to it. The important thing is to continue with our work.Ronaldo has scored only two goals in the Spanish league -- in a 5-2 win against Osasuna in September and a 6-1 rout at Real Betis two weeks ago. He also scored two goals in the Champions League, one in a 2-2 draw at Borussia Dortmund and one in a 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon, when his freee-kick goal started a late rally.ddddddddddddOf course he wants to score more, Madrid defender Marcelo said. He is a player who helps a lot and not only with goals, also with his work on the pitch.The game against Osasuna was the first of the season for Ronaldo. He hadnt played since injuring his left knee in the final of the European Championship, which Portugal won.Ronaldo seems fit and has had plenty of scoring chances, but has not been able to capitalize on them -- including on some he usually converts. Zidane says he is not worried and that its just a matter of time before he starts finding the net again.The 31-year-old was among the Madrid players rested in the teams 7-1 win over Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday. He is set to return to the lineup on Saturday, when Zidanes team tries to defend its Spanish league lead against promoted Alaves.Sevilla, one point behind Madrid, plays at Sporting Gijon on Saturday, while third-place Barcelona hosts last-place Granada in its 1,500th game at the Camp Nou. Contrary to Ronaldo, Barcelonas Lionel Messi is enjoying one of the best starts of his career with 14 goals in 11 matches. He has more goals than Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema combined.Fourth-pla
