The sliding Montreal Canadiens have struggled to put the puck in the net during their three-game losing streak, but the Habs hope to solve their scoring woes and return to the win column when they visit the Buffalo Sabres in Wednesdays battle at First Niagara Center. You can catch all the action live on TSN Radio 690 Montreal with coverage beginning at 6pm et. Two former Canadiens will suit up against their old team for the first time as both former captain Brian Gionta and defenceman Josh Gorges will be in the lineup for the Sabres. Gionta, who is now captain of the Sabres, has one point in 13 games with his new club, while Gorges has a minus-6 rating, also appearing in 13 games for Buffalo. The Canadiens began the season with an impressive 7-1-0 mark, but since then Montreal has gone 1-3-1 while dropping four of their last five contests. Montreals latest setback came Tuesday evening against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks, who notched a 5-0 victory and dealt the Habs their second shutout defeat of the season, both of which have come over the past five tilts. Montreal has been credited with five goals over the past five games and one of those tallies was for beating Calgary last Tuesday in a shootout. The Canadiens are currently ranked 27th in the league this season with an average of 2.15 goals per game. The Habs defense hasnt been firing on all cylinders either, with Montreal yielding a total of 11 goals over its past two losses. The Canadiens were handed a 6-2 home defeat by Calgary on Sunday before getting routed by the Blackhawks. The Canadiens sent 28 shots Corey Crawfords way on Tuesday, but the Montreal native stopped every one to record the shutout. Kris Versteeg scored a pair of goals to help the Blackhawks cruise to victory. Carey Price was on the hook for all five goals on 32 shots for the Canadiens, who have lost three in a row for the first time since March 6-12 of last season. Despite the loss, I liked our intensity in the first half of the game, said Canadiens coach Michel Therrien. Usually we show a lot more character, but it wasnt there tonight. We now have to focus and remember to play three periods together. Therrien will look to Dustin Tokarski to start in goal for this evenings contest. Rookie prospect Jiri Sekac and Jarred Tinordi make their way back into the lineup this evening as well, while Rene Bourque, Travis Moen and Nathan Beaulieu sit out tonights contest. After getting swept in a brief homestand, the Canadiens are on the road for just one game before returning to Montreal for a four-game stay at the Bell Centre. The Habs are 4-2-1 as the visiting team this season. Montreal hopes to get back on track against the Sabres, who have dropped the last five meetings in this series. The Habs also have claimed three straight in Western New York. The Sabres, however, are coming off just their third win in 13 games after edging the visiting Detroit Red Wings in Sundays shootout decision. Buffalo had lost three straight and seven of its previous eight games before notching the 3-2 win over the Wings. Sundays victory also was the first home win for the Sabres this season, improving Buffalos record at First Niagara Center to 1-4-1. The Sabres are playing the second part of a four-game homestand tonight. Zemgus Girgensons scored the winner in the shootout for Buffalo in the third round. Girgensons deked back to the forehand and lifted the puck into the left corner of the net. Michal Neuvirth preserved the win by not biting on Henrik Zetterbergs fake and making the stop. Brian Flynn and Chris Stewart scored in regulation for the Sabres, while Neuvirth stopped 36 shots in the win. Although he leads the Sabres with 32 shots on net this season, Stewarts tally was his first of the campaign. That one felt good, Stewart said. Ive had ample opportunities around the net, some golden chances this year. Ive been a little bit snake bitten. To get that one, hopefully tides will turn. Buffalo will try to record consecutive wins for the first time this season. The Sabres last registered back-to-back victories during a three-game winning streak from Feb. 25-28. Neuvirth will get the start for Buffalo tonight and he boasts a 5-3-0 record and 2.24 goals against average in his career versus the Habs. Montreal backup Dustin Tokarski, who is expected to give Price a rest tonight, has never faced the Sabres.

Many wonder, especially after a surprising 5-1 start to the season, how — or even why — the first-year field general still keeps his cool. I dont think it does any good to — certainly, you never panic and certainly it does you no good to rant and rave, said OShea ahead of his clubs home finale against the B.C. Lions on Saturday. I think what you need to do, and what Ive always said is, you need to get a good understanding of why things are happening and how you fix them. The how you fix them part has been a little more challenging than maybe I thought. A franchise now removed from a tumultuous and damaging time that is oft-referred as the Joe Mack Era, OShea has been repeatedly clear that his job is to build this team up — not tear them down. What I do know and what Ive maintained — and then maybe this is the reason why I can — is weve got guys who are working extremely hard, he said. Im not watching our players go out on the field and give poor effort — which would be extremely frustrating — which would cause me to react in a different fashion. What I see is a lot of guys working hard and mistakes that pop up. The changes off the field began near-immediately during last off-season, but the on-field changes tasked to OShea and his coordinators, Gary Etcheverry and Marcel Bellefeuille, continue every week. While Winnipegs playoff chances (albeit, slim as can be) remain intact, new players are inserted into the starting lineup on a weekly basis since the beginning of October. This week is no different for the 6-10 club. Its good when youre finally getting comfortable with the system and you can play at a fast speed, said receiver Justin Wilson, who will make his first career professional start in place of injured slotback Nick Moore (knee), just three weeks after signing to Winnipegs practice roster. Its a lot to get used to. Its a little different than the American game, but this is all football at the end oof the day… Ive been talking with (quarterback Drew Willy) a lot after practice, just getting little timing things down.dddddddddddd Last week it was O-lineman Jace Daniels, after spending just 10 days in Canada before getting the start at left tackle for the injured Glenn January. With the veteran January returning from two games off with a back injury, Daniels, assumedly having left a positive impression on the coaching staff in his first pro start, will line up at right tackle for Devin Tyler, who was in a walking-boot this week with turf toe. But personnel arent the only changes. Etcheverrys defence ran some plays with four linebackers and just three down-linemen in practice this week, possibly to get a look at new linebacker Will Smith alongside the teams starting middle linebacker, Ian Wild. Definitely, a lot of guys have been trying to help me out, said Smith, inked to the practice roster just a week before his first CFL game against Calgary on October 18, where he played exclusively on special teams. Ill definitely be helping out a lot more on defence than I was last week. I have a lot more responsibilities on the defensive side of the ball, as well as the special teams aspect. Notes: Demond Washington is out this week with a suspected concussion suffered in a knee-to-helmet collision against Calgary last week. Desia Dunn, formerly the teams starting weak side linebacker, moves to Washingtons halfback spot, while Don Unamba remains on the weak side following an impressive 10-tackle debut where the special-teams ace added an interception… Return specialist Troy Stoudermire, fresh off the six-game injured list where his season was thought to be lost to a toe injury, returns to the lineup this week. Interestingly, the backup defensive back has been seen hanging around the offence while recovering from injury and dawned a white practice jersey along with the rest of the offence this week. Stoudermire was converted to defence in his final year at the University of Minnesota after playing three collegiate seasons as a receiver. ' ' '
