MANKATO, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have an evening practice Saturday night, so Adrian Peterson will be otherwise occupied when one of his former teammates is inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But Peterson was on Brett Favres invitation list.Peterson, who played with Favre during Favres last two seasons, said it was pretty cool for Favre to invite him to the ceremonies in Canton. Peterson said he owes some of his passionate playing style to Favre, whom he watched growing up, and said Favre is one of the few players he has ever asked for an autograph.I can always say I played with him, Peterson said. That right there is satisfying to me.Favre had the best statistical season of his career in his first year with the Vikings, throwing 33 touchdown passes against seven interceptions while leading the team to the brink of the Super Bowl in the 2009 season. He turned 40 that season, but his arm strength was still second to none.He threw the only ball Ive heard whistle when it goes by my helmet, Peterson said. To still be able to throw the ball with that much power was incredible to me.The Vikings overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game cost the team its first trip to the Super Bowl in 33 years, and the team went 6-10 in Favres tumultuous second season in Minnesota. But although the run didnt end with a trip to the Super Bowl, Peterson said hell never forget it.Initially it was like, Wow, its Brett Favre, he said. To have a locker right next to him, that was pretty special. It was a great experience, one Ill always remember and cherish.On Wednesday, Peterson practiced for the first time during training camp after nursing a slight hamstring strain. He was still used lightly in team drills and said he wont play in the Vikings first preseason game next Friday in Cincinnati. If he were to play in the preseason, hed likely do so toward the end of the exhibition schedule, perhaps in the Vikings third preseason game as they open up U.S. Bank Stadium on Aug. 28.The teams joint practices against the Bengals next week could also provide Peterson a chance to get some better competition without being tackled.I went out today, and I felt pretty good, Peterson said. I was able to open up some. Ill continue to approach it that way until I feel like Im able to open it up all the way. Obviously, Im not playing in the first preseason game, so well see what happens.

I thought we had a real good rotation of our lines, had the D moving and skating, and had the puck way more.Much better and more representative of how we need to play.Artem Anisimov also scored to extend his career-best point streak to seven games. He has six goals and five assists during the run.Toews got his first goal of the season after having just three assists in the Blackhawks first eight games.I still feel like around the net I need a few bounces, and finally got one tonight, Toews said. Whenever you get that result, it gives you confidence.Hossa scored into an empty net with 1:10 remaining.The Blackhawks jumped to a 2-0 lead, and then managed it well to improve to 3-0-1 in their last four.Chicago also killed both of Los Angeles power plays and for the first time in nine games didnt allow a power-play goal. For the season, the Blackhawks have allowed a league-worst 15 goals in 32 times short-handed.Theyve killed five straight, dating to a 3-2 overtime win at New Jersey on Friday.Were going to need to keep that going to get that percentage down where it needs to be, Toews said. We got those kills and when we needed him, (Crawford) was big.Crawford earned his 20th shutout, and the Kings were blanked for the second straight game. Los Angeles concluded a two-game Midwest swing after losing 1-0 in regulation at St. Louis on Saturday.That was our best game defensively, Crawford said. Were on the same page in our zone.
