MONTREAL - There was just enough left in the Montreal Canadiens legs after rousing wins in Toronto and Boston to face the lowly Buffalo Sabres.

midway through the third period and former Sabre Daniel Briere added another as
the Canadiens downed last-place Buffalo 2-0 on Tuesday night. "Mentally, the
emotional high to come back and get motivated for a game against the Buffalo
Sabres was the toughest part," said Briere. "We were a little sloppy in the
first period, no doubt about it, but it got better as the game went on."
Carey Price made 24 saves for the shutout as the Canadiens (41-26-7) posted a
third win in a row and the sixth in seven games — a stretch that included a 2-0
win in Buffalo on March 16. The Sabres (20-44-8) have one win in their last 10
games. They played their fourth game of a five-game road trip that ends Thursday
in Nashville. Their top player was goalie Matt Hackett, who made 33 saves in his
second start of the season. "You have the give the kid credit. He played well,"
said Buffalo head coach Ted Nolan of Hackett. "He looks like hes fighting for a
job and thats what you want." The Canadiens had played three games in four
nights, including a 4-3 victory in Toronto on Saturday and a rousing but rough
win against the rival Bruins in Boston on Monday night. With eight regular
season games to play, they are two points up on Tampa Bay for second place in
the Atlantic Division, but the Lightning have two games in hand. "This is a very
important time for us," Price said after his fifth shutout of the season.
"Obviously, everybodys trying to make the playoffs and to be able to pick up
points against divisional teams and play well — its definitely a
confidence-builder." The win in Boston was costly as two fourth line players
left with injuries. Coach Michel Therrien said Dale Weise, who was checked from
behind into the boards, has an upper-body injury and will be out for two to
three weeks. He said Travis Moen, who jumped to Weises defence and got rocked by
a punch from Bostons Kevan Miller, "feels better" but has a concussion and will
miss at least a week. Already missing Brandon Prust to an injury, the Canadiens
had a new fourth line of Lars Eller with Ryan White and Michael Bournival. They
may have had the most jump on a team that looked short on energy to start the
game. Through two scoreless periods, the loudest cheers from the 21,273 Bell
Centre fans were for a sharp Price save on Matt DAgostini during a Sabres power
play and when Olympic moguls gold medallist Alex Bilodeau was shown on the
scoreboard screen. "The first period was even, we even outshot them (11-10), but
we couldnt keep it going into the second," said Nolan. "Then there were bad
penalties again." They finally broke the ice on a rush after a Buffalo power
play when former Sabre Thomas Vanek slipped a diagonal pass that Pacioretty put
in off Hackett at 10:53 of the third period. Briere picked the puck out of a
crowd and beat Hackett with a wrist shot from close range on a power play at
16:54. "What I liked was that we didnt change anything when it was 0-0," said
Therrien. "We stuck to the game plan and we were rewarded. Hackett played really
well for them, but we were patient and disciplined with the puck. "I expected a
tough start after the wins in Toronto and Boston." The Canadiens had a
four-minute power play in the second period when DAgostini was called for
holding and got an extra two for banging his stick on the glass in protest, but
failed to cash in. Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers left the game at 6:15 of the
third when he looked to hurt an arm or his ribs crashing into a goalpost. There
was no immediate word on his condition. Myers was in his first game since
sitting out five with an arm injury. Notes — With Weise and Moen both injured
Monday in Boston, Eller and White returned to the Montreal lineup.

discussions were taking place, until the near unexpected happened. On Saturday
night sources confirmed to TSN, the league and players agreed to terms on a new,

confirmed the CFLs board of governors must also ratify any potential agreement.

place of Romeros. After both men had disastrous outings in Tuesdays 18-4 mauling
at the hands of the Tigers, its clear that neither is the best option to begin
the season in Toronto.PITTSBURGH – Its fitting Marcus Stroman is taking
Brandon Morrows place on the Blue Jays 40-man roster. A top pitching prospect,
one who the ball club is pinning some of its future hopes, takes the spot of a
veteran who once was viewed as a future ace but who, to this point, hasnt
realized his potential and may never. Stroman threw his first major league pitch
on Sunday, facing four Pirates hitters in the eighth inning of a 7-2 win less
than 48 hours after Morrow may have thrown his last pitch for Toronto. That is
if Morrow requires season-ending surgery on a torn tendon sheath at the base of
his right index finger. Stromans just beginning. Morrow is in the final
guaranteed year of his contract and if, for a second consecutive year, his
season has ended shortly after it started, its hard to believe the
cash-conscious Blue Jays would pick up the $10-million club option it holds on
Morrow for 2015. The 23-year-old Stroman, whos started at the Double-A and
Triple-A levels dating back to last season, will begin his big league career in
the bullpen. Its an area in which Toronto needs help. Since the second game of
an April 17 doubleheader in Minnesota, Blue Jays relievers have combined to
allow 40 earned runs on 55 hits and 33 walks in 48 1/3 innings pitched. The
bullpen has blown saves in six of the last 15 games. It was a strange scene for
Stroman. He arrived at the PNC Park and almost immediately was whisked into
manager John Gibbons office, where the skipper had called a meeting with his
struggling relief corps. The rookie was saying all the right things."I honestly
think we have one of the best bullpens in baseball between guys like Sergio
(Santos), Casey (Janssen), (Brett) Cecil, everyone thats in the pen dominates,"
said Stroman. "Its just a rough patch theyre going through but I have no doubt
in my mind that theyll get through it and get back to where they were last
year."Stroman is coming off his most dominant start of his professional career.
On Tuesday in Buffalo, pitchiing against Louisville, he struck out 10 Bats
hitters and didnt allow a hit over six innings.

Blanche. During one stretch, Stroman retired 16-straight. In five starts
for the Bisons, Stroman has two wins, a 1.69 ERA, a 1.088 WHIP and 36 strikeouts
in 26 2/3 innings. The WHIP is even more impressive when you consider Stroman
has allowed almost a hit per inning. Hes walked only six, a welcome walks per
nine inning percentage for a staff whose 124 bases on balls is second most in
the majors. "Fastball command has definitely been a lot better; Ive been keeping
the ball down in the zone much better," said Stroman. "The development of my
change has been huge and I just feel more comfortable, more settled in. That was
my first big-league spring, I feel like I got ahead of myself sometimes, but I
feel real comfortable, I feel like Im ready to go out there and pitch well."
Stroman found out about his big league call up in an unusual way. The Bisons
played an afternoon game on Saturday, which gave Stroman an opportunity to
venture with his girlfriend to Niagara Falls for the evening. He thinks he
missed a call from Blue Jays farm director Charlie Wilson and when he did check
his phone, the first message he picked up was a congratulatory one from his
mother. "Shes been saying for a little bit, Oh, Ive got a feeling," said
Stroman. "Im like, Mom, relax." Stroman didnt sleep on Saturday night, he was
excited, and he was out of bed by five oclock on Sunday morning to meet the car
service driving him from Buffalo to Pittsburgh. "No sleep," he said. "But I feel
wide awake." Stromans addition to the starting rotation seems like an
eventuality but hes not going to dwell on his role. "Im just happy to be here,"
said Stroman. "Ive had experience in the bullpen, Im not worried about it, I
feel like I can come in, thats something Ive done before in the past and thats
something Im comfortable with, so its not like its completely new."
