NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks are preparing to buy out the contracts of veterans Metta World Peace and Beno Udrih. Jimmy Graham Jersey . Neither player was available Saturday for the Knicks 107-98 loss in Atlanta. "Were going in a different direction and weve got to figure out another spot or two for our ballclub," coach Mike Woodson said before the game. World Peace wrote on his Twitter account earlier Saturday that his agent was working on a buyout and thanked fans and the city. Neither veteran has earned a place in Woodsons rotation in his first season in New York. Udrih has appeared in just 31 games, while World Peace, who had a procedure on his knee in January, has played in just 29. "I cant say anything went wrong," Woodson said. "Again, they werent in the rotations. Im not going to linger on it. I mean, were buying them out. As a coach, guys work for me, I wish them nothing but the best as they move on and were going to move on. So thats about the extent of it." Players have to be waived by March 1 if they hope to sign with another team and be eligible for the playoffs. World Peace is a New York native who played at St. Johns, and had long hoped for a homecoming. It didnt turn out to be a happy one with the Knicks, as his 7 minutes of playing time Friday in a double-overtime loss at Orlando was only the sixth game hed gotten into in 2014. All-Star Carmelo Anthony said he was surprised because World Peace seemed to be in good spirits a day earlier. "He was happy, He played," Anthony said. "On the bench, in the locker room, he was a different Metta. Maybe because he had the chance to get out there and play a little bit. But I wake up this morning and hear that he wanted a buyout, it took me by surprise." Udrih hasnt played since Jan. 24. There was speculation the point guard would be traded before Thursdays trade deadline. "Its sad to see them go. But look, this is the business of basketball, man," Anthony said. "For whatever reason, I dont know whats the reason that they wanted to get bought out. But it happened and weve got to move on from there."

Perhaps the biggest news of the game; the Jets scored both goals on the power play, the first time this season they scored two in a game. The Jets were in a power play slump with one goal in the last 15 games. "The power play was a big plus," said Coach Claude Noel post-game. "We really didnt do anything different, just hit the net and they went in. It was only a matter of time." Jets have now won five of the last six games (last three by shootouts), extended their home winning streak and overall winning streak to four games and are back to a game above .500 at 10-9-2. They are 7-5-1 at MTS Centre. Jets came out strong and badly outshot the Flyers in the first five minutes, however Steve Mason was great in the Flyers goal. The Jets got on the board at 5:36 as Dustin Byfuglien beat Mason for his second of the year and first power play goal of the season. 49 seconds later off a face-off Scott Hartnell took the puck around the Jets net and banked one in off Pavelec to tie the game. Wayne Simmonds added a Flyers power play goal at 11:45 and despite the good start the Jets were down 2-1. The shots ended 13-13. There was no scoring in the second with each team having nine shots on goal. "We had some breakout trouble in the second," continued Coach Noel. The Jets were very good in the third and finally tied the game on a power play. It was Byfugliens second of the game and third of the year as the Jets power play ended the night two-for-four. A great job by Toby Enstrom to keep a clearing attempt in the Flyers zone, good hustle by Byfuglien to get to an Evander Kane pass, and then a give and go with Olli Jokinen ended with a blast from the line that beat the right handed catching Mason glove side. Jets outshot the Flyers 13-4 in the third and played the period without Zach Bogosian who left late in the second with a lower body injury. His status for Sundays game in Minnesota is not known at this time. "We were down to 5 D in the tthird," continued Coach Noel, "but we were patient and confident that we could score and get the game to overtime. DeShone Kizer Jersey. We werent getting out of whack on momentum shifts." Pavelec also felt his team was very good in the third. "It was one of the best periods weve played this season." The Flyers had the better chances in overtime, resulting in Pavelec having to make a number of very good saves. "Pavs play has been superb," was the comment from Coach Noel. "He was good in overtime, he was tested at key times throughout the game." The shootout went as follows: Devin Setoguchi yes, Vincent Lecavalier no, Ladd no, Claude Giroux yes, Jokinen no, Matt Read no, Blake Wheeler no, Brayden Schenn no, Bryan Little yes, Kimmo Timonen no. Pavelec has now stopped 12 of 14 over the last four shootouts, all wins by the Jets. Jets are now 5-1 on the season in the shootout. Ladds streak of successful shootouts ended at seven for seven going back to last year. He had been five-for-five this season. Olli Jokenin had five shots on goal, the second time in the last three games he has hit that mark. Jokinen had two assists on the night, giving him 3-9-12 and two points short of his 7-7-14 point season of last year. Ladd also had five shots on goal, Byfuglien ended the night at 31:29 of ice time, the fifth time in his career he has played over 30 minutes. Coach Noel on Byfuglien, "hes enjoys playing the game, he plays with passion." Wheeler had six hits, Little was 60 % in the face-off department winning 15 of 25, while Jokinen won 15 of 27 for a 56% success rate. If Bogosian cant go Sunday Zach Redmond will draw in. Mark Stuart, injured in October, did skate with his teammates in the morning skate, the first time he has done that since late October. There is no time frame for his return. Same goes for the other injured players. Jets have now scored the games opening goal in five of the last seven games.
