The Canadiens played two in a row at home to open the campaign, losing to Toronto last Tuesday before notching a 4-1 win over Philadelphia on Saturday. Montreals line of Alex Galchenyuk, Lars Eller and Brendan Gallagher led the way with a combined six points, while Carey Price made 22 saves. Eller and Gallagher both had a goal and an assist, while Galchenyuk notched a pair of helpers. Eller has three goals and two assists through the first two games. "Its a matter of more experience and learning to handle yourself out there," Eller admitted. "A lot of things coming together, but puck pursuit is big, even when we dont have the puck. (Its) about giving them less time to make a pass, and forcing them to make bad ones." Montreal is set to visit Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Winnipeg on this swing and will look to build some chemistry both on and off the ice over the next week. "Its a great opportunity for us to spend some time together, get to know each other a little more personally off the ice and build those relationships and bonds. Its something that translates onto the ice," said defenseman Josh Gorges. Forward Max Pacioretty will return to the lineup after missing Saturdays game with a wrist injury and captain Brian Gionta will also be in the lineup after tending to a family situation. Fellow forward Rene Bourque could also have some extra jump tonight as he faces his former Flames team for the second time since getting dealt to the Canadiens on Jan. 12 of last year in a deal that sent Mike Cammalleri to Calgary. Tonights game will also mark the 500th of his career, one that began with the Chicago Blackhawks before a trade to the Flames. The 31-year-old has amassed 134 goals and 128 assists in his career. "I think as you get older and you get more experienced, you tend to change things and adapt to the speed of the game. Hockey in the east is a little different from the west. I think its a little bit more wide open," noted Bourque. The Flames play the middle contest of a three-game homestand tonight and have earned four of a possible six points through three games, sandwiching a pair of post-regulation losses around a win over Columbus last Friday. Calgary fell 5-4 in overtime to Vancouver on Sunday but was lucky to get a point. The Flames led by two goals in the third period before the Canucks scored three straight. Calgarys David Jones was able to send the game into overtime on a goal with 19 seconds left in regulation, however. Joey MacDonald made 23 saves, but was beaten by Mike Santorelli 3:17 into overtime. "We didnt make good enough decisions I thought," said captain Mark Giordano, who had a goal. "It cost us. We cant let teams grab the momentum like that, especially in our home rink." Sean Monahan, the sixth overall pick of the most recent draft, scored his second goal and third point in this third NHL game, though did struggle at times on the defensive end. "His offensive upside is there," Flames head coach Bob Hartley said. "Thats undeniable. Like any kid of 18 years old, he got spun on one of their goals and lost his man; those are the lessons you need to learn from. What he offers and what he brings is pretty special for an 18-year-old kid." The Flames and Habs did not meet last season after Calgary took both encounters during the 2011-12 campaign. The Flames have won three straight and six of the past seven meetings overall and are looking to avoid their first home loss to Montreal since Jan. 5, 2002. Calgary is 6-0 with a tie at home versus Montreal since. Fake Air Max 90 Black .Y. -- Syracuses streak lives on -- barely. Wholesale Air Max 90 Ultra Se .

Others would say hes really still a kid.The Denver Nuggets decided to make the 20-year-old rookie their starting centre by trading Timofey Mozgov to Cleveland last week for two protected first-round draft picks.Thats how much confidence they have in their bruiser from Bosnia-Herzegovina whos only been playing basketball for five years. Hes averaging 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds this season, numbers that may even get him invited to the Rising Stars Challenge for rookies and second-year players during All-Star weekend next month.It certainly hasnt taken him long to pick up the game ? or the English language. He understands what hes hearing just fine.Except, of course, when coach Brian Shaw yells at him during practice. Only then does he act like he cant understand.Hes clever, said Shaw, whose team rides a four-game win streak into a game Wednesday against Dallas. Hell try to use that I dont understand card when its convenient for him to use it. He understands all right.Thats the one thing about basketball ? the things that you do on the court are universal. So there may be different words for different things in different languages, but a pick and roll is still a pick and roll, a post-up is still a post-up, a shot is a shot. In terms of that, theres no barrier. He has a good understanding, because he has such a high basketball IQ.His story of discovery is actually quite remarkable. Heres the condensed version: An agent saw a newspaper article on Nurkics father, a big, burly policeman. The agent contacted the father to see if he by chance had a son, which he did ? a teenager named Jusuf.He looked at me, and I was normal size, and he said, That kid is going to be in the NBA, said Jusuf Nurkic, who was dubbed Bosnian Bear by the team early in the season but also likes Bosnian Beast as a nickname. We all just smiled, because it was crazy.After all, Nurkic didnt know a thing about the game.dddddddddddd Even more, he couldnt shoot. But they found him a coach, who taught him how to shoot.And then Nurkic grew. And grew.He turned into a big man with nifty foot work who can effortlessly run the floor, which immediately attracted the Nuggets attention. So much so that they acquired him on draft night, sending their 11th overall pick (Doug McDermott) to Chicago for Nurkic (No. 16) and guard Gary Harris (No. 19).From the start, Nurkics been as advertised ? a bashing force inside with some finesse, too.We were lucky, because hes making us look smart. But he deserves all the credit, general manager Tim Connelly said. He doesnt want to just fit in. He wants to make a mark.Certainly receiving quite a few marks, too. He has a mean-looking red scar on the left side of his back courtesy of being scratched by a Toronto player last month. There are scratches all over his wrists and upper arms as well.Scratches everywhere, but I get no fouls, Nurkic said.He is, after all, just a rookie.Nurkic doesnt back down, either, getting under the skin recently of Memphis big man Marc Gasol as the two jawed at each other. Afterward, Gasol praised Nurkics game, saying, hes going to be a real good player.Thats a reason why the Nuggets traded Mozgov to the Cavs, to open up more playing time for Nurkic. And with JaVale McGee still sidelined by a strained lower left leg, the centre spot is all his. That is, as long as he can stay out of foul trouble. Hes averaging three a game.To fight homesickness, Nurkic said he calls family and friends quite a bit, plays lots of NBA 2K15 and goes to movies. Since he doesnt like to cook, he dines out quite often as well. His favourite restaurant is the Cheesecake Factory, where he typically orders the chocolate tuxedo cream cheesecake for dessert.This month, his family is in town and hes playing tour guide when hes not on the court.Its great to have family here, Nurkic said. It feels like home.Everything is just going great, man. Im helping my teammates and club win. Thats a great feeling. ' ' '
