WASHINGTON -- Washington Redskins kick-returner Brandon Banks and a close friend were stabbed early Saturday during an altercation outside a downtown D. Authentic BenJarvus Green-Ellis Jersey.C. nightclub. Banks received a surface wound to his side that required stitches and was expected to be released Sunday from an area hospital, his agent James Gould said in a statement. The players unidentified friend was critically injured and underwent surgery, Gould said. The stabbing occurred shortly after 3 a.m. outside The Park at 14th, an upscale nightclub. According to D.C. police, a man got into a verbal altercation with two men, then pulled a knife and stabbed them. Police did not identify the victims, but the Redskins confirmed Banks was injured in the attack. The suspect -- Jason Shorter, 24, of Lanham, Md. -- was arrested and charged with assault with intent to kill, police said. Police and jail officials did not know whether Shorter had a lawyer. According to Banks agent, the friend was attacked first and Banks was injured while coming to his aid. Banks was not implicated in any wrongdoing, Gould said. "Brandons immediate concern is for his lifelong friend who is like a brother to him," Gould said. "He would like to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes for him and his lifelong friend." The team was gathering facts about the incident, Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said. Banks was an undrafted rookie out of Kansas State last season. He returned a punt 53 yards the first time he touched the ball in an NFL game. He also recorded a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. He is the lightest player in the NFL -- listed at five foot seven and 155 pounds. Frank Gore Jersey.

The defending Stanley Cup champions were quite a lively bunch in forcing Game 6 against the Stars. Teemu Selanne, Ryan Getzlaf and Sean ODonnell each had a goal and an assist to lead Anaheim to a 5-2 victory over Dallas on Friday night. That trimmed the Stars lead in the first-round series to 3-2. Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 40 saves for the Ducks, who got off 31 shots at Marty Turco. "I guess desperation is descriptive," Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said of the Ducks performance. "I thought Giguere was the best player on the ice tonight. "We could have easily taken ourselves right out of the game without the effort of our penalty killers and our goaltending." Noting that the Ducks suffered one-sided defeats in the opening two games in Anaheim, Giguere said he thought Game 5 was entertaining and, "We probably owed that one to our fans. Hopefully, they got their moneys worth." Game 6 is Sunday in Dallas. A seventh game would be in Anaheim on Tuesday. The Stars, who lost Game 3 in Dallas, are in a 1-7 slump in home playoff games and have not won a post-season series since a first-round triumph in 2003. The Stars Brad Richards said they must play with a sense of urgency, same as the Ducks did. "They were a very desperate team and obviously when you are down 3-1 theres no room for error," he said. "We have to get our mentality the same way. "We cant be thinking in the back of our minds that we have a couple more chances. We have to match the desperation and thats how you finish off a playoff series." Anaheim scored three times in the third period to break open a tight, physical game. "We would have loved to have done it tonight," Turco said. "Certainly our effort was there. It was enough, but we let in too many chances. Now well get a pretty good crack at it at home." After Mike Ribeiro pulled the Stars within 3-2 at 4:41 of the third, defenceman ODonnell built the lead back to two when he scored at 12:05. Todd Marchant added an empty-net goal with 1:24 remaining. Chris Pronger and Chris Kunitz added two assists apiece for Anaheim. Kunitz set up ODonnells score that gave the Ducks some breathing rroom.
