PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens are still adjusting to NHL play after a nearly three-week Olympic layoff.
Golden
Tate Youth Jersey . And it showed Thursday night. The Canadiens, playing
in their second game in as many days, however, got a good performance in the end
from their backup goaltender as he filled in for an injured Olympic gold
medallist . Peter Budaj stopped all three shooters in the shootout and
David Desharnais scored the only goal, leading the Canadiens to a wild 6-5
victory. "He battled back in the second and third and in the shootout he was
outstanding," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said of Budaj. Budaj, in his
second straight start for injured starter Carey Price, stopped Penguins shooters
James Neal and Sidney Crosby before denying Evgeni Malkins slap shot for the
win. Desharnais, the third shooter for Montreal, slammed on the brakes at the
top of the crease before sliding the puck by Marc-Andre Fleury. "I would like to
have some goals back, but we scored five goals against Pittsburgh," Budaj said.
"We have to learn from the mistakes we made. We have to keep going and getting
better." Daniel Briere scored twice, once on the power play, and Max Pacioretty
also scored with the man advantage, his 27th of the year. Brendan Gallagher
netted his 15th for the Canadiens and Alexei Emelin also scored his second of
the season. Budaj, who stopped 27 shots, made his second straight start after
turning aside 28 shots during an overtime loss one day earlier against Detroit.
"You can tell the bench guys wanted to battle back for him because he certainly
worked hard," Therrien said. He filled in for Price, who was named the top
goaltender at the Olympic games after going 5-0 with a 0.59 goals-against
average and two shutouts, leading Team Canada to a gold medal. Price, who
aggravated a lower-body injury sustained in Sochi, will be re-evaluated Friday.
"Credit to the team because they stuck with it, they battled for me and we got
the two points," Budaj said. Crosby, who leads the NHL with 80 points, scored
his 29th and added an assist. Neal scored his 21st for his 300th career point
and also had an assist, while Malkin provided two assists, both extending
six-game point streaks. Olli Maatta scored his seventh of the season on the
power play and had an assist, while Brandon Sutter had a short-handed goal, his
10th of the year. Deryk Engelland also scored his career-high fifth goal. "We
worked hard," Crosby said. "It was a little sloppy, and a lot of special teams.
... Probably a tough first one for everybody to get into." The teams were tied
at 3 after two periods and both scored twice in the third, sending the game to
overtime. Three of the four third-period goals were scored by special teams
units, Sutter giving the Penguins a 4-3 lead with a short-handed breakaway goal
and Crosby later putting Pittsburgh ahead 5-4 on the power play. Emelin tied it
24 seconds after Sutter gave the Penguins the initial lead and Briere sent the
game to overtime with his second goal of the game. With the Canadiens trailing,
the Penguins Tanner Glass was issued a five-minute major for a hit on Emelin.
The call was elbowing, but video replays showed Emelins stick came up and hit
him in the head. "Thats why I kind of followed through the way I did, to get his
stick away from my face," Glass said. "Its a hockey play, it happens. I can
understand why he made the call." The Canadiens cashed in anyway, Briere tying
it with his second of the game when he feathered a back-door rebound behind
Fleury, who made 24 saves. NOTES: Penguins D Kris Letang spoke with reporters
Thursday morning, the first time since suffering a stroke and said he will
likely play hockey again, but its unclear if he will return this season. ...
Paul Martin, out 4-to-6 weeks after breaking his hand in the Olympics, was
scratched along with recently recalled D Simon Despres. ... Price, C Ryan White,
and D Francis Bouillon were scratched for Montreal. ... Penguins F Jussi Jokinen
recorded his 400th career point.

third period to beat the Red Wings 4-2 on Saturday night.LOS ANGELES --
Carlos Quentin drove in three runs, Alexi Amarista homered and Jesse Hahn
pitched six solid innings, leading the San Diego Padres to a 6-3 victory over
the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. Hahn (5-2) allowed a run and three
hits, struck out six and walked four in his seventh major league start. The
24-year-old right-hander has a 1.46 ERA over his last six outings since
Pittsburgh beat him 4-1 on June 3 in his big league debut at Petco Park. Padres
right-hander Blaine Boyer took over for Hahn, giving up a leadoff double to
Drew Butera and a walk to Carl Crawford. That ended Boyers season-opening string
of 26 consecutive plate appearances by right-handed batters without a hit or a
walk -- the longest such streak since STATS LLC. began tracking data in 1974.
First-time All-Star Yasiel Puig chased Boyer with an RBI double, the first run
off him this season in 14 innings. Adrian Gonzalez hit a sacrifice fly against
Alex Torres, but Quentin turned it into an inning-ending double play by throwing
to third baseman Chase Headley for the tag on the over-aggressive Puig after
Dee Gordon crossed the plate. Joaquin Benoit escaped an eighth-inning jam,
striking out Juan Uribe and Miguel Rojas with runners at second and third and
retiring Crawford on a fielders choice grounder with the bases loaded after a
full-count walk to pinch-hitter A.J. Ellis. Huston Street pitched a perfect
ninth for his 24th save in 25 chances. Quentin, who entered Friday batting .165
with 14 RBIs in 42 games, hit an RBI double in the fifth off Dan Haren and
extended the Padres lead to 6-1 in the sixth with a bases-loaded two-run single
against Jamey Wright. The three RBIs gave the Padres left fielder two more than
he had in his previous 34 at-bats combined. The Dodgers thirdd loss in four
games, coupled with San Franciscos 5-0 win over Arizona, dropped the defending
NL West champions into a virtual tie with the Giants for the division lead.
Kerry
Hyder Lions Jersey. Haren (8-6) gave up four runs and six hits in his
third start against the Padres and second loss to them in three weeks, throwing
102 pitches in four-plus innings. He came in 4-1 with a 2.96 ERA in his eight
previous home starts this year. Matt Kemp opened the scoring in the Dodgers
first with an RBI single, but the Padres responded in the second with Amaristas
third home run after Will Venable reached on a strikeout-wild pitch past Butera.
Haren has allowed 19 homers -- tying the Padres Eric Stults for second-most in
the NL behind the 27 served up by Milwaukees Marco Estrada. The Padres increased
the margin to 4-1 with two runs in the fifth. Headley, whose homer in Thursdays
series opener ended Clayton Kershaws string of 41 consecutive scoreless innings,
drove in Seth Smith from first base with a double. Quentin followed with another
double on Harens 103rd and final pitch. NOTES: Former Dodgers assistant general
manager Kim Ng was the eighth candidate interviewed by the Padres to replace
fired general manager Josh Byrnes. Ng, currently the senior vice-president of
baseball operations for Major League Baseball, is attempting to become the first
female general manager of any major pro sport. Dodgers vice-president of amateur
scouting Logan White also was interviewed for the job. So was Padres senior
vice-president of baseball operations Omar Minaya, the former Mets and Montreal
Expos GM. ... Haren has allowed at least one home run in 11 of his last 12
starts. But none of the last 30 home runs hit against him have come with more
than one man on base. ... The Padres rotation has a 1.74 ERA over the last 11
games.
