MONTREAL -- The NHL-leading Montreal Canadiens are once again streaking. Only this time, its in the opposite direction.After matching or setting franchise -- and league -- records en route to a 13-1-1 start, the Canadiens are now 0-2-1 in their past three games after falling to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night in Raleigh. Now theyll head home to face a Toronto Maple Leafs squad on a roll, rested and waiting in Montreal.Its the second meeting in three weeks for the historic rivals, and the final on at the Bell Centre. The teams last squared off on Oct. 29 in Montreal, with the Canadiens skating away with a 2-1 victory.The Canadiens gave up three goals in six minutes in the third period against Carolina to see a 1-0 lead become a 3-1 deficit. It marked the third straight game of at least three goals allowed for Montreal and while they connected three times of their own in Tuesdays overtime loss to Florida, theyve only scored three goals total in their two other losses.I think the effort was there, Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said after the loss to the Hurricanes. You need puck luck and we dont have the puck luck lately.If theres been one bright spot during Montreals recent slide, its the play of defenseman Andrei Markov. The 16-year NHL veteran picked up a pair of assists against the Hurricanes to extend his point streak to seven games and moving him into a tie with Yvan Cournoyer for seventh place on the Canadiens all-time assists list.Carey Price, who made 37 saves in their last meeting with Toronto, will get the start in goal on Saturday but Therrien didnt confirm any other potential line-up changes. Rookie Charles Hudon, called up from the AHL on Thursday, replaced Sven Andrighetto. He could earn another go after picking up an assist and leaving an impression on his coach.Well see, but he played really well, Therrien said. He played well for a first game, I thought he created offensively, really responsible on the ice. I thought the kid competed really well. Im pleased with his effort.For the Maple Leafs, November has been much kinder than October was. After posting a 2-4-3 record in the opening month of the season, Toronto has won six of its eight games so far this month. And not only has Mike Babcocks group been winning, its been doing so with plenty of offense of late; Toronto has scored at least six goals in each of their most recent four wins.The young Leafs have made headlines for their offensive efforts and while the likes of Mitch Marner, Auston Matthews and William Nylander have generated most of the buzz, rookie Connor Brown added his name to the conversation on Thursday night. Brown became the fifth Maple Leafs player to record a four-point night with two goals and a pair of assists in a 6-1 win over the Panthers.Im slowly getting more comfortable with the puck and more comfortable making plays, Brown told TSN after the game. Offensively it was a bit of a slow start but I feel good defensively and I feel like Im in the right spots.While the offense has been rolling, its been doing so without much help from the power play. Toronto has scored just three times on 19 opportunities with the man advantage and has been held off the scoresheet in four of the past five games.Opponents arent scoring much on power plays either against the Leafs, who have allowed just three goals on the penalty kill and have denied the opposition of any power play tallies in six of eight games this month.

Aleksander Barkov Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Colton Sceviour Jersey . Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. OAKVILLE, Ontario -- Dustin Johnson started and finished the day tied with Luke List for the Canadian Open lead.The U.S. Open champion had to make up a lot of ground to do it.Johnson had a double bogey and two bogeys on his first holes Friday in windy conditions at sun-baked Glen Abbey. He rebounded with six birdies and had a late bogey in a 1-under 71.I really dont know what happened the first four holes, Johnson said. Just got off to a bad start. Hit it in a couple awkward spots. Made some bad bogeys, but fought back and turned it around and felt like I played really nicely from 14 on in.Johnson played in the morning after eagling the par-5 18th late Thursday afternoon for a 66.The wind today almost feels like its a little bit heavier and its affecting the ball a little bit more, and its a little bit different direction, Johnson said. Youve just got to take advantage of the downwind holes and the into-the-wind holes, just try to get looks.List also shot a 71, birdieing the par-5 16th and 18th after making three bogeys in a four-hole stretch early on the back nine.Real happy the way I finished up, said List, winless on the PGA Tour. It was kind of a battle the middle of the round there and definitely pleased with the way I finished on the two easy par 5s.Canadian amateur Jared du Toit, former Arizona State teammate Jon Rahm and Kelly Kraft were a stroke back, also each shooting 71.Du Toit made the turn tied for the lead at 7 under, then had a triple-bogey 8 on No. 2 and a bogey on No. 5. The Sun Devils senior birdied the next three holes and closed with a par.Taking an 8 always hurts, but I just kind of stayed patient, said du Toit, from Kimberley, British Columbia. The putter heated up at the right time, and it was all good. Nothing but good things to say.Rahm is making his fourth start since turning pro after the U.S. Open. The Spaniard eagled the 16th hole.Its so cool. Its a great feeling, Rahm said about du Toit.dddddddddddd Last time we played together and last time we were both on the leaderboard, it was still a college event. Hes still in college. But to see it like that, its a great feeling. I have got to say, him shooting low yesterday did motivate me a lot to do a good round.Kraft closed with a bogey.I played pretty solid. I didnt make many putts, Kraft said. Felt like I gave four shots away there at the end with a double on 14 and then a bogey on 18.Ricky Barnes (68), Ben Crane (70), Tyler Aldridge (70) and Brendon de Jonge (71) were 5 under.Top-ranked defending champion Jason Day was 1 over, following his opening 69 with a 76.The day was pretty tough in itself and then I really didnt have anything going well, Day said. Off the tee, was terrible. Hitting the greens, terrible. Chipping was terrible and putting was terrible. So put all that together, you shoot 4 over.Du Toit was one of four Canadians to make the cut. Adam Hadwin (70) was tied for 21st at 2 under, amateur Garrett Rank (75) was tied for 36th at even par, and Corey Conners (71) was tied for 62nd at 2 over.Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadian winner in 1954 at Point Grey in Vancouver, British Columbia. Carl Keffer is the only Canadian-born champion, winning in 1909 and 1914. Albert Murray, a Canadian also born in England, won in 1908 and 1913.Canadian Olympic players Graham De Laet and David Hearn missed the cut. DeLaet shot 77-72 and Hearn had rounds of 74 and 75.Its obviously disappointing but its another golf tournament, and Im able to kind of get over it a little bit easier now than I used to be probably, said DeLaet, who will represent Canada along with David Hearn in the Rio Olympics. Obviously, I wanted to play well here this week, but theres more tournaments to play. ' ' '
