MONTREAL -- In the middle of his second scoring drought of the season, Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty only needed a game against the team that helped him cure his last slump. Cheap Dallas Cowboys Jerseys . Pacioretty scored twice to help the Canadiens to a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night. The goals, one for insurance and one into an empty net, snapped a goalless stretch that had seen the 24-year-old winger score just once in his previous 12 games. "Obviously things werent going in for me. It takes a bounce and thats how it goes," said Pacioretty, who opened the season with no goals in his first 10 games before a fluke score against the Hurricanes on Feb. 18. "Different people step up every night for this team and I guess tonight was my chance." Pacioretty got his first of the night at 10:58 of the third period when he slipped the puck through an opening to Hurricanes goaltender Justin Peters left side. "I knew once I got that bounce Id feel good so hopefully I can keep it going," he said. The penalty kill, the most notable blemish in the Canadiens impressive season to date, ranking 18th heading into the game and 25th on home ice, came up strong against the Hurricanes. Montreal was perfect on all five Carolina opportunities and allowed just two shots on goal. The Canadiens have now killed 21 of their last 23 penalties. "We approached the group of guys that kill penalties about 10 days ago. That was an aspect of our game that we were not pleased with," Therrien said. "We had a good meeting. Guys know their responsibilities and right now theyre doing a good job. Theyre battling hard, getting in the shooting lanes, paying attention to detail. It makes a big difference." With the win, the Habs (23-7-5) restored their three-point lead over the idle Boston Bruins. Boston now holds a game in hand and hosts Ottawa on Tuesday night. The Hurricanes, meanwhile, lost ground in the race for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference following wins by the eighth-place New York Rangers and ninth-seeded New York Islanders. Those teams are tied at 37 points, three points ahead of Carolina. If there was good news for the visitors, however, it was that the Rangers beat the Southeast Division-leading Winnipeg Jets, who sit four points up. Carolina (16-16-2), which has dropped eight of its last nine, holds three games in hand on the Jets. "We havent consistently found our game," said centre Jordan Staal, who scored his teams lone goal. "Weve had some spurts and played a really solid game in Winnipeg (on Saturday). Again, even tonight, we had some spurts here and there but its just not a consistent game that were playing." Carey Price, appearing in his 300th NHL game, made 18 saves for the win. It was the 142nd of his career, ranking him eighth on the Canadiens all-time goaltending wins list. "Carey made some key saves. We only allowed 19 shots but there were some quality scoring chances and Carey was really good again tonight," Therrien said. After the Canadiens were unable to convert on a couple of quality chances in the opening minutes of the first period, the Hurricanes took advantage to break the ice on a delayed penalty call against Montreal. Patrick Dwyer broke in, impeded by defenceman Alexei Emelin. Price made the save but the rebound came out to Staal, who scored his 11th of the season at 3:38. "We came ready, had a good first 10 minutes, scored the first goal and then they pushed back pretty hard and had us on our heels for a little while," Hurricanes captain Eric Staal said. "Down 2-1 in the third we had some good chances early, hit the post on Jiri (Tlustys shot) and then Jussi (Jokinen) right in the slot on the power play. "It was a tight game and not a lot of space out there. They were able to get that third one and it was difficult to come back from that." The home side took the lead on a goal that featured two firsts for Canadiens players. Rookie defenceman Nathan Beaulieu found Halpern in the slot for the veterans first goal of the season while Beaulieu picked up his first NHL point with the assist. Andrei Markov evened up the score on the power play at 15:03 with a slapshot from the right point. P.K. Subban, fresh off being named the NHLs second star of the month for March, added an assist on the play, tying him with Pittsburghs Kris Letang and Minnesotas Ryan Suter for the league lead in points by a defenceman. Habs winger Colby Armstrong had to be helped off the ice early in the third after a hard collision with Dwyer that left him favouring what appeared to be his right leg. He did not return. Peters stopped 25 shots in his second career loss to Montreal.

Cheap Boston Celtics Jerseys . Catch the interview this Friday on TSN at 5pm et/2pm pt. The appearance will mark Sonnens second time on the show in the last five weeks. The always outspoken fighter was as a guest on OTR in November, but when the interview took a contentious turn, Sonnen ultimately removed his microphone and walked off mid-interview.OAKLAND, Calif. - Nothing new for Jonny Gomes getting hit by a pitch to win a game in extra innings. Strangely, it happened to him just last season when he was plunked by Brad Lidge to hand the Washington Nationals a victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. "Been there, done that," Gomes quipped. Jonathan Broxton got Gomes this time, hitting him on the first pitch he threw with the bases loaded in the 12th inning and forcing Jemile Weeks home for the winning run in the Oakland Athletics 5-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Moments earlier, Broxton (0-1) plunked new As cleanup hitter Yoenis Cespedes on the first pitch to load the bases and the closer received a mound visit from pitching coach Dave Eiland. "I wasnt very good today, with the walks and everything else. It started out good but I just didnt have it," Broxton said. "One was a sinker and one was a four-seam fastball." It marked the third time the As won on a game-ending hit by pitch in Oakland history and first since Olmedo Saenz on July 20, 2002, against Texas. "You can hit me four times if we win," said Gomes, nearly hit earlier on a heater from Kelvin Herrera. "We have to write that down and keep it in the back of our minds because 98 mph could end your season." Coco Crisps RBI groundout earlier in the 12th tied it at 4 after Billy Butler doubled home the go-ahead run in top half of the inning against Andrew Carignan (1-1). A day after rain shortened the Royals 3-0 win following seven-plus innings, fans got their share of baseball in the finale. Cespedes already has been hit three times, and his teammates are taking notice. While Cespedes didnt think Broxton intentionally fired at him -- "Everybody could see he was wild" -- he was glad to hear starter Brandon McCarthy had spoken up on his behalf and that the pitchers would consider retaliation if it comes to that point. Kansas City heads home for the first time since the start of spring training in mid-February at 3-3, but without the same momentum it would have had with a second winning road series after taking two of three at Los Angeles. Oakland closer Grant Balfour pitched a scoreless ninth and 10th. He allowed Alcides Escobars leadoff single in the 10th and a two-out walk to Jeff Francoeur on four pitches before striking out Mike Moustakas. The As now head out for their first real road trip -- a seven-gamer -- considering the two matchups with the Mariners in Tokyo two weeks ago counted as Oakland home games. They get Seattle ace Felix Hernandez for the third time Friday at Safeco Field. Kansas Citys Alex Gordon hit a tying home run off Brian Fuentes in the seventh. cheap nfl jerseys. Jose Mijares hit Josh Reddick with a breaking ball in the right shoulder area leading off the eighth, and the ball ricocheted into Reddicks neck and jaw as he tried to raise his arm to protect himself. He went down for a couple of minutes before leaving the game. Crisp came in to run and Greg Holland relieved Mijares, but the As couldnt capitalize. Reddick briefly had spotty vision and was put through concussion tests as a precaution but he expects to play Friday. "That last inning was kind of weird," Reddick said. "You dont really see a game ending like that." Gomes hit a two-run homer in the fourth to put the As ahead and McCarthy in position for his first victory of the season before Fuentes gave it up. Cespedes doubled, swiped third for his first steal and scored on catcher Brayan Penas throwing error to make it 1-0 in the second. Pena threw wildly into left field trying to get Cespedes at third on his steal. Cespedes hit his first career single in the 11th after his initial five hits went for extra bases. The Cuban rookie wrapped up his first homestand 4 for 16 with two home runs and eight strikeouts. Gordon also singled in a run in the third for the Royals, who squandered a chance when they left the bases loaded in the fifth. McCarthy allowed two runs and six hits in six innings. Oaklands opening-day starter also struck out four and walked two in his third appearance in the teams first seven games. The lanky right-hander retired his first seven batters and looked more in sync than he did in going only five innings his last time out, a 7-3 loss to Seattle in the As home opener last Friday. NOTES: As SS Cliff Pennington fouled a ball off the inside of his left kneecap in the fifth and left the game. He expects to be fine for Fridays game at Seattle. ... The Royals will work out Thursday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium before Luke Hochevar starts Friday against the Indians Derek Lowe. ... As LHP Brett Anderson felt fine a day after throwing his 45-pitch bullpen session. "Any time my arm feels good its a positive," Anderson said. He was set to travel to Arizona to resume his rehab from reconstructive elbow surgery, with the hope of beginning the process of pitching to live hitters in the next week or two. "Hes doing beautifully," manager Bob Melvin said, noting when Anderson returns, "Well look at that one almost like a midseason trade." ... The As are offering free comp tickets for a field-level seat to another game for fans who attended Tuesdays rainy game. ' ' '
