the Raptors as a whole - has been fortunate to be in good health this season. As
he spoke about it, the Raptors sophomore centre scanned the room for wood to
knock on. "It is disappointing because we lost today so thats the worst part of
the day," said Valanciunas, who left Tuesdays game with a lower-back sprain in
the third quarter, missing the rest of Torontos 118-113 overtime defeat at the
hands of the Hawks.

Canadian junior curling championships final on home ice.BOSTON -- Montreal coach
Michel Therrien wanted to continue his teams drive to the playoffs more than to
snap Bostons 12-game winning streak. The Canadiens accomplished both.
Alex Galchenyuk scored the only shootout goal, and the Canadiens got their fifth
win in six games, 2-1 over the Bruins on Monday night. "Its not about their
streak," Therrien said. "Its more about getting those two points and trying to
qualify for the playoffs." Montreal tied Tampa Bay for the third-most points in
the Eastern Conference, but has played one more game. The Bruins fell one game
short of their longest winning streak since 1970-71 and two shy of the club
record set in 1929-30. But their one point from the shootout loss moved them
ahead of Western Conference-leading St. Louis for the most in the NHL with 104.
"You cant win 12 in a row and lose one in a shootout and say, Im really
disappointed in my team, " Boston coach Claude Julien said. Boston was
uncharacteristically undisciplined for the two periods then tied it at 1 with
just two seconds left on its sixth power play of the game. Dougie Hamiltons slap
shot from the centre of the blue line deflected off Patrice Bergeron and past
goalie Peter Budaj with 5:26 left in the third period. It was Bergerons 23rd
goal of the season. Budaj also stopped a four-game Bruins winning streak with a
4-1 victory in Boston on Jan. 30. "We are very confident with him back there,"
Montreal forward Brian Gionta said. "That first period he made some huge saves
and even in the second he made some big saves where they could have been back in
the game real quick." Bostons last loss came March 1, 4-2 to Washington.
Montreal grabbed the lead on Alexei Emelins third goal of the season at 6:39 of
the first. Emelins shot from the blue line deflected off Bruins forward
Chris Kelly about 30 feet from the net and rose over the glove of goalie
Tuukka Rask. In the shootout, Bergeron, Jarome Iginla, Brad Marchannd and
David Krejci missed for Boston while Thomas Vanek, David Desharnais and
Daniel Briere failed for Montreal.

Rasks stick and the post to the right of the goaltender. "I was excited and all
the moves were playing in my head," Galchenyuk said. "They were on a roll and we
are happy that were the team that ended that roll." The Bruins had three power
plays in the first 11 minutes of the third period but were outshot 5-1 as the
Canadiens picked off errant passes and cleared the puck from their zone.
"Hopefully, next time when we get that many (power-play) opportunities well get
more than one (goal)," Bruins forward Milan Lucic said. The Canadiens won
despite losing two forwards, Dale Weise and Travis Moen, early in the first
period. Bruins defenceman Kevan Miller sent Weise sprawling into the boards 4:50
into the game then fought with Moen, who challenged him after the hit. "I felt
bad about it. I just kind of bumped into (Weise)," Miller said. "I stood there
just trying to make sure he was OK for a second and Moen asked if I wanted to
(fight)." Montreal had an excellent opportunity with a two-man advantage for 44
seconds late in the second period when Johnny Boychuk was called for roughing
P.K. Subban and joined Iginla in the penalty box. The Canadiens took four shots
on goal before Iginlas penalty ended and none during the rest of the power play.
Budaj came up with a big glove save when he stopped Zdeno Charas slap shot from
the blue line with 5 seconds left in the second period. NOTES: Montreal C
Lars Eller missed the game with a lower-body injury. He has played in 71 of his
teams 73 games. ... Former Bruins defenceman Ray Bourque dropped the ceremonial
first puck. ... Rask is 3-11-2 in his career against Montreal. Budaj is 5-2 in
his career against Boston. ... The Canadiens are 31-0-3 when leading after the
second period.
