The Montreal Canadiens look to avenge last months blowout loss to the red-hot Chicago Blackhawks and re-establish their dominance following a rough patch Friday night in Chicago. You can listen to the game live on TSN Radio 690 Montreal starting at 7pm et/4pm pt. Brad Richards, Patrick Kane and Kris ?Versteeg all scored against Carey Price in a 5-0 win at Montreal on Nov. 4. The Canadiens (17-8-2) bounced back from that game to win six straight and Price has since posted a 1.71 goals-against average, but his team heads into the rematch in a funk. Montreal has dropped four of five to lose its lead atop the East, including a 2-1 defeat in Minnesota on Wednesday behind just 19 shots. When we have success, its for a reason: were all on the same page and we all play a certain way, club points leader Max Pacioretty said. When we get away from that, were just another team. When we play the way were capable of ... thats when we have success and thats when were a great team. The primary reason for the Canadiens recent woes has been their offensive shortcomings. Montreals already average offense, which scored 2.68 goals per game through the seasons first 19, has averaged 1.88 in the last eight. Tomas Plekanec ranks second on the team with 18 points but has one in the past five games. David Desharnais, who had 16 goals last season, has scored one in his last 20 games. Patrick Sharp led Chicago with 34 goals last season but hasnt played since suffering a knee injury in the first meeting with Montreal. Sharp skated with the team this week, though, and may return Friday. Chicagos Antti Raanta performed well Wednesday with 40 saves in place of Corey Crawford (foot) and will likely start Friday as well. Montreal has lost all four of its visits to the United Center since winning there Feb. 27, 2002. The Blackhawks recent stretch has seen them roll through some of the best the Western Conference can offer. The Blackhawks (16-8-1) have won a season-high four straight and nine of 11 after taking care of Central Division-leading St. Louis 4-1 on Wednesday. Their previous two victories were by the same score, beating defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles and West-leading Anaheim. Weve been playing the right way, particularly lately, coach Joel Quenneville said. Eventually, you get your turn. Wednesday marked Chicagos return home after a 10-day, six-game road trip which included five victories. The Blackhawks have averaged 4.7 goals in the last eight games, compared to 2.5 through their first 17. We have way more pace to our game, Quenneville said. Way more directness, way more consistency, better thought process. Everybodys excited right now. We got some momentum and everybodys having fun with it. We came together on that trip and got it going. Kane has led the charge with eight goals and seven assists over his last nine games after scoring twice Wednesday. Linemate Versteeg assisted on both of Kanes goals and has 14 points in his last eight contests. Richards has also displayed the talent level Chicago hoped to see after signing the 34-year-old center in the offseason. Richards has three goals and two assists in his last three games. He had only three goals through his first 22 games. Wholesale Shoes Free Shipping Worldwide .ca has you covered for whos in, whos out and what to expect from all 30 teams.

WADA will look into claims, broadcast by CBS 60 Minutes in the United States on Sunday, that numerous Russian athletes used performance-enhancing drugs at the Winter Games.WADA president Sir Craig Reedie said: WADA will probe these new allegations immediately. Russias track and field athletes are currently the subject of a suspension which places their participation in the Rio Olympics in doubt.The ban was imposed following a WADA-commissioned independent report into allegations of drug use in athletics. Sir Craig Reedie says WADA will probe new claims And WADA is now looking into the latest claims, which Reedie described as a real cause for concern.A WADA statement read: On the basis of recorded conversations between (whistleblower) Vitaly Stepanov and the former Moscow laboratory director, Dr Grigory Rodchenkov, the broadcast claims that numerous Russian athletes were doped at Sochi, including four goold medallists that were using steroids.ddddddddddddThe broadcast also suggests that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) interfered with the Games anti-doping program; including, some FSB agents having been employed as doping control officers (DCOs).
