Watch it live tonight on TSN at 7pm et/4pm pt. You can also listen to the game live on TSN Radio Montreal 690 and TSN.ca/Montreal. The Canadiens notched a 3-2 regulation win over the visiting Devils on Monday, giving Montreal a 6-0-1 record over its past seven contests. The recent hot stretch has pushed the Habs into a tie for second place in the Atlantic Division, three points behind first-place Boston. Montreal will be without forward Rene Bourque, who did not make the trip to New Jersey after sustaining an upper-body injury in Monday nights win. Peter Budaj will get the call in goal. Cory Schneider will get the call for New Jersey tonight after Martin Brodeur yielded three goals on 17 shots in Mondays setback. Schneider has never faced the Canadiens. Montreal won its second game in a row in Mondays close decision against New Jersey. Alex Galchenyuk scored the game-winner for the Habs when he gave the hosts a 3-2 edge with 10:26 left in the third period. After being benched for the third period for an undisciplined penalty in Saturdays victory over Toronto, Galchenyuk earned a bit of redemption with his game-winner on Monday. Alexei Emelin missed the net on a shot from the middle, but Galchenyuk was there to steer the puck into the net on a broken play to give the Canadiens the lead for good. "I wasnt feeling low on Saturday, it happens, its part of the game. I put it behind me. I was definitely excited about this game. I wanted to play good and was happy with that goal," said Galchenyuk. Bourque tallied a goal and an assist in the win, while David Desharnais contributed two helpers. Max Pacioretty provided the other goal for Montreal and Carey Price turned aside 27-of-29 shots to record the victory. Price was particularly sharp in the opening period, when he held the Devils to just one goal on 11 shots. "We werent ready to play in the first period. It could have been 4-0 for the Devils, but Carey kept us in the game. We owe it to our goalies to step up when they bail us out," said Pacioretty. Price improved his career record against the Devils to 8-9-1 and he expects to get the start again in Wednesdays finale. He has a solid 2.39 goals against average and .916 save percentage in 18 career games versus New Jersey. Steve Bernier and Michael Ryder lit the lamp on Monday for New Jersey, which had a two-game winning streak snapped in the opener of this two-game series. "We played well at the start. We missed a couple of open-netters. Their defensemen made a couple of good plays and at the end that is what made the difference," said Brodeur after Mondays loss. Devils forward Adam Henrique left the opener of the home-and-home set with a lower-body injury and is questionable for Wednesdays clash. Henrique is tied for second on New Jersey with six goals this season. The Canadiens have won three of the past four meetings against New Jersey overall, but the Devils have claimed two of the past three encounters in Newark. Montreal has a 7-4-1 road record this season, while the Devils are 5-4-2 as the host. Danny Portugal Jersey .

Luis Neto Portugal Jersey .com) - The Memphis Grizzlies are only one of three teams in the NBA with one loss and owe it all to great play on defense.WASHINGTON - Members of the Senate Commerce Committee chastised the commissioners of the NFL, Major League Baseball, NBA and NHL for skipping a hearing Tuesday on domestic violence in pro sports, with one saying the absences reflect a lack of focus on the issue.They were all asked to be here, and leadership does start at the top. And I do think that its pretty convenient that none of them were able to appear today, said Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a Republican from New Hampshire. That does say something about: How big a commitment is there going to be on this?Instead of Commissioner Roger Goodell, for example, the NFL sent Troy Vincent, the executive vice-president of football operations, who ignored questions from reporters after the hearing and was led away by league employees. During his prepared testimony, Vincent a former player choked up while saying abuse was a way of life in his home when he was growing up because his mother was beaten.Domestic violence has become a main topic of conversation across the sports landscape in recent months, particularly in light of the case of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. He punched his then-fiancee now wife in a casino elevator and originally was suspended by Goodell for two games, then barred indefinitely after graphic video of the fight was released by TMZ. Eventually, though, that second punishment was erased by an arbitrator when Rice appealed.Vincent was asked Tuesday why the NFL didnt try harder to obtain the video from inside the elevator. He replied, I dont think there was a need, and said the league should have handed Rice a tougher punishment to begin with.At the time of Rices indefinite suspension, Goodell said the TMZ video spurred the tougher penalty.On Tuesday in New York, an appeal hearing began for Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who was suspended for the rest of the season after pleading no contest too misdemeanour reckless assault for injuring his 4-year-old son with a switch.ddddddddddddSenators pressed the representatives of the four leagues and their players unions NBA Players Association Executive Director Michele Roberts was the only head of any of the eight organizations present on matters such as whether they conduct their own investigations, independent of police; whether coaches or other team personnel are required to report instances of illegal conduct to law enforcement; and what sort of help is provided for abuse victims.Youve got to understand that the status quo is not acceptable. ... I think you all know that in your hearts, said Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat. There will be more accountability in the future.During the hearing, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, announced he was introducing legislation to end the leagues permanent antitrust exemptions, while Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, said its ridiculous that the NFL enjoys tax-exempt status.Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the West Virginia Democrat who chairs the committee, said he called for the hearing because until very recently, the leagues records have not been good on the issue, and they have done little or nothing in response when players have been charged or convicted for domestic violence.There were some contentious moments involving the NFLPA, including when Sen. Dean Heller, a Nevada Republican, said: When youre worried more about getting back on the field, instead of stopping abuse, your priorities are out of order.Later, during an exchange with the NFLPAs deputy managing director, Teri Patterson, Heller said: Youre either for stopping sexual assault, domestic abuse and child abuse or youre not.___Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL cheap nfl jerseys authentic jerseys nfl wholesale wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
