LOS ANGELES -- The Montreal Canadiens will continue their annual trek through California when they face the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center on Sunday afternoon. Though the temperatures are warmer than back home in their native Quebec, the reception from their hosts has been ice cold.Montreal (16-6-2) sits atop the Atlantic Division thanks to its superior 12-1-1 record at home. Its 1-0 loss at San Jose on Friday dropped their road record below .500 (4-5-1).The road through California has been especially rough with Montreal posting a 1-8-2 record in the last 11 games against the California teams (San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles). The Canadiens have struggled to find their offense in the first three games of this road trip, posting only five goals in three games and wasting two strong performances by goaltender Carey Price.You just have to keep grinding, said Price after suffering his third regulation loss in 17 games. You just have to keep working and hopefully our fortunes will turn for the rest of the trip.The challenge for Montreal is the contrast of styles posed by Los Angeles. The Canadiens speed game was successful in a 4-1 win over the Kings on Nov. 10, but they have been worn down by both the Ducks and Sharks in consecutive losses. In order to break their losing streak and sweep the season series against the Kings, the Canadiens know they must control the tempo.Weve gotten away from our game, defenseman Jeff Petry told the Montreal Gazette prior to the San Jose loss. We were using our speed then we got away from that. Its something that we need to learn from because if we use our speed, were a tough team to handle.The Kings (13-10-1) will look to avenge last months loss at Montreal with continuing strong play on home ice. They enter the game with a 9-3-0 home record and appear to have found their stride after an inconsistent opening month. A 4-3 win in Arizona on Thursday was the sixth in seven games for the Kings, who trail the division-leading San Jose Sharks by four points with a game in hand.After being besieged with injuries to start the season, Los Angeles depth is bolstered by the return of two key players and better health by one of its stars. Left winger Marian Gaborik missed the seasons first 20 games with a broken foot. Goaltender Jeff Zatkoff, plagued by groin injuries that limited him to just five appearances, earned his first win as a King in the Arizona victory.Anze Kopitar put up his first multi-point game since missing five games with a wrist injury, registering two assists in the Arizona win.Zatkoff was thought to be the starter after Jonathan Quick was sidelined with a serious groin injury but Peter Budaj was anointed by coach Darryl Sutter with Zatkoffs health issues. Budaj had appeared in 22 consecutive games before being relieved by Zatkoff after the first period in Arizona.Not playing eats away at you in the sense that you want to play, you want to contribute to the team and you want to be a piece of the puzzle, Zatkoff said. I feel really comfortable with my game and I just want to keep building on it.If Los Angeles creates enough offense to split the season series, it will likely do it without help from its special teams. Despite having a star-studded lineup and one of the best home records in the league, the Kings power-play production at home has been virtually non-existent, converting on 3 of 26 chances to tie them with the New York Islanders for 28th place in the NHL.

HOOVER, Alabama -- New?Georgia?coach Kirby Smart?anticipated not having one of his star running backs available at the start of preseason camp, but he didnt expect both to be sidelined.Star tailbacks Nick Chubb and Sony Michel will be limited when the Bulldogs begin full-contact drills in preseason camp next month, Smart said Tuesday.The coach isnt sure how much either one of them will be available for the Sept. 3 opener against?North Carolina?in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game at?the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.It makes it tough, said Smart, who was speaking at his first SEC Media Days as Georgias head coach on Tuesday. I think its a little more stressful for the coaches, especially the offensive coaches, on how we handle those first two scrimmages. Our identity is being big and physical and we want to run the ball. Well, our two backs that are best at doing that have two question marks by them.Chubb, who ran for 1,547 yards as a freshman in 2014 and had 745 yards in the first five games last season, is still recovering from torn knee ligaments and cartilage damage in his left knee. He underwent surgery on Oct. 23, after injuring his knee on his only carry in a 38-31 loss at Tennessee on Oct. 10.Chubb, a junior from Cedartown, Georgia, was able to participate in spring practice, but was held out of all drills involving full contact.The big thing with Nick is going to be live, full-contact tackling, Smart said. Hell do pretty much everything in the first part of camp. Hell catch the ball and do drills and a llot of the thud work.dddddddddddd The psychological part of going through the first tackling is going to be a big thing for him. We have people working with him on that aspect of it.Michel, a junior from Plantation, Florida, underwent surgery on July 4 after breaking his left forearm in an ATV accident a day earlier. Smart said Michel suffered an open wound and wasnt released from the hospital until Friday.Michel ran for 1,161 yards with eight touchdowns last season, with much of his production coming after Chubbs injury.Although doctors initially projected Michels recovery would take six to eight weeks, Smart said he isnt sure when hell be back.We dont know, Smart said. Its an injury they dont have a lot of experience with because its a non-football injury.Last season, Smart was Alabamas defensive coordinator when running back Kenyan Drake broke his left arm in a 31-6 win at Mississippi State on Nov. 14. Drake didnt suffer a compound fracture and was able to return to action three weeks later in the Tides 29-15 victory over Alabama in the SEC championship game.People say it [will take Michel] six to eight weeks, Smart said. Kenyans was less than that, but his injury was less than that.Until Chubb and Michel are available, senior Brendan Douglas,?sophomore Shaquery Wilson and freshmen Tae Crowder,?Brian Herrien and Elijah Holyfield?figure to share carries in preseason camp.
