(SportsNetwork.com) - The Florida Panthers will aim for their first three-game winning streak of the season when they welcome the Montreal Canadiens for Tuesdays battle at BB&T Center. The Panthers are 2-0 so far on a four-game homestand that is set to end tomorrow night against the New York Rangers. However, its been over a year since Florida last won three in a row during a five-game run from Dec. 10-19 of last season. After posting a shootout win over Pittsburgh on Dec. 22, the Panthers emerged from the Christmas break with Sundays 6-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sundays victory was Floridas fourth in five games and the club is 5-1-1 over its last seven outings. The Panthers, who are two points out of a playoff spot in the East, also have won four straight on home ice and are 9-4-2 in Sunrise this season. The Panthers used a ferocious third-period comeback to down the Maple Leafs on Sunday. Toronto held a 4-2 edge after 40 minutes of play, but Florida responded with four unanswered goals in the final period. Brad Boyes redirected in Dmitry Kulikovs wrister from the point on a power play for the go-ahead goal with 3:15 remaining. That tally made it a 5-4 game and Scottie Upshall would later add an empty-net score to arrive at the final margin. Kulikov and Willie Mitchell also scored in the third for the Panthers, while Roberto Luongo picked up the win with 18 saves. I thought we played a real good game, said Panthers coach Gerard Gallant. Florida will try for another strong effort against a Montreal team that won its third straight game on Monday night. The Canadiens visited the Carolina Hurricanes and notched a 3-1 victory behind a 28-save effort from Carey Price. Lars Eller and Jiri Sekac both scored in the second period for the Canadiens, while Max Pacioretty added an empty-net goal to help Montreal secure its sixth win in seven games. Price only allowed a power-play goal to Eric Staal early in the third period. He made 12 saves in the final stanza. We didnt play a good third period, but we were able to hold on, Price said. Dustin Tokarski could give Price a rest tonight. Montreals backup has never started against Florida, but did face the Panthers once in a relief appearance. Montreal is second in the Atlantic Division, but has a chance to take over the top spot from the idle Tampa Bay Lightning. The Habs are two points behind Tampa, but a win would give them possession of first place as a result of holding the tiebreaker. Tonights tilt marks the first of five meetings this season between the Habs and Panthers. Montreal has claimed two straight and five of the last seven encounters overall and also have won three of the past four meetings in South Florida. The Canadiens are 10-7-1 as the road team after beginning a five-game swing with consecutive wins.

Will Compton Titans Jersey .Y. - Brooklyn Nets centre Brook Lopez has a strained lower back and will miss at least a week.Not so long ago, we came to praise the New England Patriots.Now, its time to bury them.Deflategate and a brazen disregard for the truth should be more than enough for the NFL to order Bill Belichick to stay at home on Super Bowl Sunday. If the Patriots coach wants to wear his hoodie during the biggest game of the season, he can break it out while watching the telecast from his couch.Seriously, this should be an easy one for the NFL, though the leagues response on everything from concussions to Ray Rice leaves plenty of doubt that the suits in New York will do the right thing.Heres what weve learned from various reports: 11 of the 12 footballs the Patriots used on offence in the AFC championship game were significantly deflated.That could have made them easier for quarterback Tom Brady to handle on a cold, windy day. Brady threw three touchdown passes and the Patriots won the game in a rout, 45-7. Then, when the shenanigans were discovered, Belichick — a control freak who has never left even the smallest detail to chance — ludicrously claimed he had no idea what happened.As a repeat offender from Spygate, Belichick should be banned from the Super Bowl.To make sure he really gets the point, bench him for the first four games of next season and put him on permanent probation, leaving no doubt that hes got two strikes against him and the next one would get him thrown out of the league for good. For good measure, take away a couple of first-round picks.A week ago, we wrote that the Patriots should be celebrated for their amazing run under Belichick, despite his general unpleasantness and skirting of the rules.After all, no franchise in the era of salary caps and free agency has come close to their streak of 14 straight winning seasons, 12 playoff appearances, three Super Bowl titles and nine appearances in the conference championship game.Now, some of that success could seem tainted, even dirty.Belichick certainly didnt help his cause with a news conference Thursday, where he spent 8 1-2 minutes trying to convince everyone he didnt know a thing about the rules and procedures for game balls, then refused to give a meaningful answer to 14 questions — all concerning Deflategate — that were thrown his way over the next 3 minutes.I have told you everything I know, Belichick kept repeating, over and over again.Yeah, right.Belichick began his prepared remarks sounding a lot like Sgt. Schultz from the old TV sitcom, Hogans Heroes. You know, the bumbling German prison guard who turned a blind eye to inmates coming and going as they pleased, always insisting, I know nothing. Nothing!AAs Belichick regaled us with his little tale, the only thing missing was Col.dddddddddddd. Hogan popping up from a tunnel under the podium.I learned more about this process in the last three days than I knew or talked about in last 40 years coaching in this league, Belichick insisted. I had no knowledge of the various steps involved in the game balls and the process that we went through, what happened between when they were prepared and went to the officials, and went into the game.We kept watching this sham, but only to see if his nose started growing.In my entire coaching career, I have never talked to any player or staff member about football air pressure, Belichick said, somehow managing to keep a straight face. That is not a subject I have ever brought up.Now, if you believe that, wed love to give you membership to the Bill Belichick School of Charm and Integrity.As often happens when someone is trying to pull off a scam, the story gets a bit convoluted. For Belichick, that happened when he talked about the balls that the Patriots use in practice. Apparently, he cares A LOT about how those are prepared.Im sure that any current or past player of mine will tell you the balls we practice with are as bad as they can be, he said. Wet. Sticky. Cold. Slippery. However bad we can make em, I make em. Anytime players complain about the quality of the balls, I make them worse, and that stops the complaining.But on game day, were expected to believe, he doesnt pay a lick of attention to the state of the football.Brady followed Belichick to the podium and issued the same blanket denial, though his remarks were peppered with plenty of what, me worry? grins, like a suspect in the interrogation room who wants you to know he did it — and knows you know he did it — but figures theres no way to pin the crime on him.Everyone wants to know: Why would the Patriots feel the need to cheat when they were playing at home and, judging by the score, clearly had the superior team?Not to put these on the same level of historical significance, but its a reminder of the early 1970s, when President Richard Nixons henchmen launched a totally unnecessary operation that became known as Watergate, not long before Nixon cruised to victory in one of the greatest U.S. presidential election routs.The ensuing coverup was worse than the crime and wound up costing Nixon the presidency.This one should cost Belichick his spot on the Super Bowl sideline.___Paul Newberry is a national writer for The Associated Press.
