After allowing their seven-game win streak come to an end with an uncharacteristically bad loss, the Anaheim Ducks have an opportunity to prove that defeat was no more than a minor slip-up tonight. Unfortunately, they catch the Montreal Canadiens in one of their hottest stretches of the season on a night they will honour one of the franchises most loved players. Catch all the action on TSN Radio in Montreal starting at 6pm et. The Ducks amassed 42 shots Tuesday, yet fell victim to a hot opposing goaltender. That could be their same fate tonight against Carey Price. Montreal (20-10-2) has won three straight behind both Carey Price, who owns a 1.33 goals-against average during that run, and a resurgent offense, which has scored 13 goals in its last three games after managing just 13 in the previous seven. The line of Alex Galchenyuk, Max Pacioretty and Brendan Gallagher led the charge in Montreals 4-1 win over Carolina on Tuesday. Galchenyuk recorded a hat trick with assists on all three goals by Pacioretty. Hes a young guy with a lot of potential, Therrien said of Galchenyuk. Were all aware of that. Games like this one give him confidence. Hes creating good chemistry with Pacioretty, and hes already very used to playing with Gallagher. Montreal had defeated Vancouver and Los Angeles in its two previous games by a combined 9-3 score. That sort of offensive output has been key for the Canadiens, who are 15-1-1 when they score three or more goals, and 5-9-1 otherwise. Moving through a five-game Canadian road trip, the Ducks (21-7-5) had topped Edmonton and Winnipeg before surrendering a season-high six goals in a 6-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday. Frederik Anderson stopped 16 of 20 shots before he was pulled in the third period. We gave up some easy goals, goals Im sure Freddy Andersen wouldve liked to have back, Andrew Cogliano told Anaheims official site. Hes been playing great for us and we have to get some goals for him. It was a team effort and we lost. Hopefully we can get going back again in Montreal. There promises to be a charged atmosphere in the Bell Centre on Thursday with the Canadiens set to honor longtime captain Saku Koivu. Koivu, who retired in September, played the final five seasons of his 18-year career with the Ducks after captaining Montreal from 1999-2009. He missed nearly all of the 2001-02 campaign as he battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but returned for the seasons final three games. He taught us what the word courage really meant, Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. He made us better people. Anaheim sits atop the NHL with 47 points, but the team is no stranger to poor defensive performances. The Ducks rank in the bottom half of the league with 2.61 goals allowed per game and have surrendered six goals in a single contest four times. Its their offense - averaging 3.50 goals per game since Dec. 1 - which has usually picked up the slack. Ryan Getzlaf leads the team with 34 points, while Ryan Kesler, Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey have combined for 39 goals. Perry, however, is currently sidelined with a knee injury. Anaheim has lost the last two matchups with Montreal after going 5-0-1 in the previous six.

When New Zealand finally held on for an 8-7 win, France No. 8 Imanol Harinordoquy collapsed to the ground, having given every drop of energy he could muster, and lay prone as All Blacks danced around him in celebration. Few critics had given France any chance, but coach Marc Lievremonts team rallied from 8-0 down and came within one kick of taking the lead with 15 minutes remaining, only for flyhalf Francois Trinh-Ducs 49-meter effort to drift wide. Esa Lindell Jersey . And by all indications, the team is expected to select phenom Connor McDavid with their selection. The Buffalo Sabres, who were knocked down to the second overall pick after finishing with the worst regular season record, are expected to take the other generational player in Jack Eichel. http://www.authenticstarspro.com/Jon-casey-stars-jersey/. Asdrubal Cabrera had four hits and three RBIs, Michael Brantley also homered and the Indians beat the injury-riddled Minnesota Twins 9-4 Thursday for their first three-game winning streak this season. Jamie Benn Jersey . He liked what he saw on Tuesday night. Not only did his team post a comeback 3-2 victory in a shootout over the Montreal Canadiens, but the rival Washington Capitals were beaten 5-1 in Buffalo. Brett Ritchie Jersey . Clevelands manager had just watched his team lose 5-3 to Kansas City, which completed a 2-6 homestand and dropped the Indians 2 1/2 games behind Detroit in the AL Central.COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Jadeveon Clowney believes hes the NFLs No. 1 draft pick and says he took a big step toward that goal during South Carolinas pro day workouts Wednesday. The 6-foot-5, 266-pound defensive end did position drills in front of dozens of NFL personnel, including Houston head coach Bill OBrien and Jacksonville head coach Gus Bradley. And Clowney thinks he elevated his already elite status during the 40 minutes or so of running through cones, jumping over hurdles and catching tennis balls in workouts he passed on at the NFL combine in February. "Yes, I do feel like I should be the first pick," Clowney said after the session. Clowney did not lift weights or run the 40-yard dash, standing on his combine showings when he did 21 reps at 225 pounds and clocked a 4.53-second time. He also felt he eased anyones concerns about his work ethic. He was considered by many the No. 1 pick after his sophomore season in 2012, when he had 13 sacks and closed it with his helmet-jarring hit on Michigans Vincent Smith in the Outback Bowl. The footage of the hit was seemingly shown daily on highlight shows and Clowney immediately became a Heisman Trophy favourite, analysts projecting record-setting sack numbers. But Clowney couldnt live up to the expectations as injuries and opponents schemed him out of plays. He finished with a disappointing three sacks. A midseason tiff with coach Steve Spurrier -- Clowney pulled himself out of the Kentucky game with a rib muscle strain without following proper protocol -- intensified questions about Clowneys work habits and going hard every play. "I think my work ethic is pretty good. I think I proved that today, but Ive still got a lot of proving to do," he said. There were 30 of 32 NFL teams represented with Tennessee and Cleveland opting to pass on South Carolinas pro day. Clowney spent Tuesday night at dinner with the Texans, including OBrien, defensive co-ordinator Romeo Crennel and general manager Rick Smith. Clowney thought the visit went well and he answered their questions about what hed bring to the Texans iff they took him with the top selection in Mays draft.dddddddddddd Houstons leaders liked what they saw of Clowney on the field. "I thought he had a good day. He worked hard and did a bunch of different drills, which was good to see," said OBrien, the Texans first-year coach. Smith was happy to see Clowney move easily in space should the Texans draft him and use him at outside linebacker spot. Clowneys got a quick first step that lets him fly past offensive lineman, but hes also got sustained speed that allows him to chase down opponents other defensive lineman cant. "He could absolutely play outside linebacker for us," Smith said. Clowney wasnt the only former Gamecock player working out. Leading receiver Bruce Ellington, offensive lineman Ronald Patrick and quarterback Connor Shaw -- all projected to go in the draft -- also worked out for NFL scouts and leaders. But the show, as its been since he packed a high-school auditorium on Valentines Day 2011 for his college selection, was the easygoing, hard-charging Clowney. Several hundred fans that turned out cheered his every move and gave him a loud farewell when the defensive linemen wrapped up their portion of drills. "I just wish I had pads on and could hit somebody," Clowney said with a smile. Clowney has individual workouts scheduled with the St. Louis Rams and Atlanta Falcons. Houstons Smith says Clowney will also visit the Texans complex before next months draft. While OBrien said his teams draft plans were still wide open -- the Texans traded starting quarterback Matt Schaub this off-season -- Clowney hopes hes made himself a bit harder to pass up. Clowney thought a defensive line that included himself and All-Pro end J.J. Watt would be unstoppable. "Id be great, a great fit for them," Clowney said. Clowney acknowledged it was a point of pride for him that he arrived at South Carolina as the No. 1 high school prospect and leaves as the NFLs top choice. "Im just going to keep on pushing," he said, "all the way to the draft."
