  MONTREAL - The bottom line from the Montreal Canadiens rematch with the Boston Bruins was: 10 goals, no fights, but one late bit of nastiness from Milan Lucic.Brendan Gallagher and P.A. Parenteau each had two goals as the Canadiens chased goalie Tuukka Rask out of the game to win their home opener 6-4 over the Bruins on Thursday night.Im very satisfied, said Montreal coach Michel Therrien, whose team rebounded from a 7-1 thrashing at Tampa Bay on Monday night. Our forecheck was good, our power play was much better. That was good to see after a bad loss.Max Pacioretty had a goal and two helpers, while Jiri Sekac got his first NHL goal for Montreal (4-1-0). Zdeno Chara, Carl Soderberg, Loui Eriksson and Simon Gagne, with his first as a Bruin, replied for Boston (2-4-0), which led 3-2 before fading late in the second frame. Boston was coming off a win Wednesday night in Detroit.The pre-game buildup was all about last spring, when the Canadiens upset Boston in seven games in the second round of the playoffs. In the handshake line after Game 7, Lucic reportedly threatened to kill Dale Weise and Alexei Emelin.Weise was a healthy scratch, but the Lucic vs Emelin animosity was a game-long subplot. The Canadiens defenceman knocked down Lucic with an open ice check early in the game.At 18:40 of the third, with Boston pushing to tie the game, Lucic crushed Emelin and was given a two-minute boarding penalty. After Parenteau scored into an empty net to seal the win, Lucic was handed a misconduct for mouthing off to the officials, then flexed his muscles to the Bell Centre crown in the penalty box. There were reports he also made a rude gesture to the crowd.Lucic did not speak to the media after the game.Otherwise, it was a peaceful game with plenty of end-to-end action.Thats what I expected, said Gallagher. When two points are on the line against a division rival, you cant take undisciplined penalties because theyll come back to bite you.It was physical and heated at times, but both teams understood the importance of the two points.Boston coach Claude Julien said sloppy play was to blame for the loss.We lost our focus, he said. We made some real bad mistakes that ended up in the back of the net.Im disappointed in some of the decisions that we made that cost us some goals. We have to fix that. But as long as the effort is there, you have an opportunity, you have a chance. It was just one of those games with a lot of bouncing pucks. Its a team thing right now. As a team, we made too many mistakes.Rask, who is 3-11-3 in his career against Montreal, allowed five goals on 23 shots before leaving 7:17 into the third in favour of Niklas Svedberg. Boston outshot Montreal 29-26.It was a big night for Sekac, the 22-year-old winger who signed as a free agent. He got his first career goal with his parents and his girlfriend from the Czech Republic in the seats.I tried to find him (in the seats), but theres way too many people, said Sekac. Its hard to describe my feelings. I cant stop smiling.It was also special for Parenteau, the former Colorado Avalanche forward who had scored shootout goals but none in regulation time in his first four games with Montreal.It felt great to finally have one go in, he said.The pre-game ceremonies saw perhaps the warmest applause Therrien has had in his three seasons as coach, while Ginette Renos national anthem had the crowd of 21,273 buzzing. But the Canadiens started out flat.Boston led 7-1 in shots when Chara, posted in front of Carey Price on a power play, had David Krejcis shot go in off his leg 9:03 into the game.That woke up Montreal, which responded with its first power-play goal in 15 tries this season when David Desharnais went hard to the net and saw the puck go off Adam McQuaids skate, then off Paciorettys skate and in at 11:33.After Gallagher put Montreal ahead at 7:43 of the second, the Bruins took over the game for an eight-minute stretch as Soderberg got the puck amid a crowd of Montreal defenders and scored at 8:34 and Eriksson tipped in a Torey Krug pass at 11:31.But in the final two minutes of the period, the Canadiens struck twice as Sekac jumped on a deflected puck and scored into an open side at 18:11 and Parenteau scored from the slot at 19:36.Those two goals were huge, said Gallagher. When Jiri scored, everyone got excited. It was his first NHL goal, and P.A.s first as a Hab. It was fun to share that excitement with them.Pacioretty deflected Emelins pass in off Gallaghers leg 7:17 into the third, but Boston got it back at 14:11 as Lucic went around Emelin and saw his shot fall behind Price, and Gagne slide in to score with his skate.The Bruins looked ready to push for the equalizer, but Lucics penalty killed the momentum and Parenteau added an empty-net power-play goal.Notes — The highlight of the pre-game ceremonies saw goaltending great Ken Dryden pass a torch to Price to start the player introductions, in which the Canadiens handed the torch to one another. . . . Montreal sat out Weise and defenceman Nathan Beaulieu in favour of Travis Moen and Emelin, who returned from an upper body injury. . .

Dane Dobbie had four goals and two assists, Karsen Leung had two goals and two assists, and Matthew Dinsdale scored two and helped on another for Calgary (6-3).

"But the bottom line is we just have to win our share of games [and] not worry about what anybody else is doing. T. J. Carrie Jersey . Not bad for a defenceman. The goal, that is. Although the shuffling dance steps werent bad, either. Barrie scored 55 seconds into overtime, Semyon Varlamov stopped 29 shots, and the Avalanche moved a step closer to their first playoff berth in four years with a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.

Basketball fans around the globe will be watching as Kobe Bryant makes his season debut - 240 days after tearing his left Achilles - against Toronto, a team he has used as his own personal punching bag.Washington, D.C. (SportsNetwork.com) - Looking to build on a three-game win streak, the now 21st-ranked Georgetown Hoyas will open up the Verizon Center Tuesday evening to host the Xavier Musketeers in a Big East Conference showdown. Georgetown comes into the contest having won each of its last three games, including recent huge victories over Villanova (78-58) and Marquette (95-85 OT) that propelled the team into the new Top-25 poll. The Hoyas find themselves at 6-2 in conference play heading into Tuesday, with a 10-1 mark on their home court. Xavier has been up and down a lot in the last few weeks, with more down results than anything else. The Musketeers have dropped three of their last five games, but are coming off an 89-76 win over DePaul on Saturday. Xavier is 4-4 against Big East competition, and just 1-5 in road games. Xavier and Georgetown are relatively new Big East rivals, and have met on the court nine times in history with this clash set to be the 10th. The Musketeers lead the all-time series over the Hoyas, 6-3, with a 70-53 victory over Georgetown already this season. Hoping to bounce back from a tough loss to Providence just last week, Xavier found itself down to DePaul at halftime this past Saturday by eight points, 50-42. But a furious second-half comeback drove the Musketeers past the Blue Demons, thanks to a 65.4 shooting percentage in the frame. Myles Davis led the charge for Xavier with 25 points and eight rebounds, while freshman Trevon Bluiett came off the bench to hit 8-of-10 from the floor for 21 points. Center Matt Stainbrook netted 17 points with seven boards and six assists, and J.P. Macura rounded out a foursome of double-digit scorers in the contest with 10 points. Xavier has been able to completely obliterate opponents this season by using a strong scoring offense that leads the Big Eaast averaging 77.dddddddddddd8 ppg. The team is led individually by Stainbrook, who contributes 12.9 ppg along with a team- best 7.2 rpg mark. Bluiett checks in at second on the team behind Stainbrooks scoring total with 12.3 ppg, and Myles Davis adds in 10.8 ppg, though the guard has largely done it while coming off the bench, having registered just two starts this season. Dee Davis has reprised his point guard role this season to the tune of 116 assists through the teams first 20 games, and has notched 35 steals to help out a defense that has underwhelmed, allowing opponents to score 68.6 ppg - one of the worst totals in the league. Georgetown allowed a six-point lead at halftime against Marquette to slip away, and the Hoyas needed overtime to take down the Golden Eagles on the road. Six players for Georgetown recorded double figures in the contest, led by DVauntes Smith-Riveras 19 points (and five assists). Joshua Smith registered a double-double of 18 points with 15 rebounds, and Isaac Copeland contributed 17 points with six rebounds off the bench. Tre Campbell added 14 points, Mikael Hopkins chipped in with 13, and Aaron Bowen scored 11 in the 95-point outburst for the Hoyas. Georgetowns offense ranks right up there with some of the best in the Big East this season, as the Hoyas currently net 73.1 ppg 46.9 percent shooting from the floor. Smith-Rivera has come alive once again this season, and leads the team in individual scoring with 15.2 ppg. Hes followed in the double- digit department by Smith, who tallies 12.6 ppg, adding in a team-best 6.9 rpg mark to his resume. Smith-Rivera isnt just a flat-put scorer, however, as the guard leads the team in both assists (67) and steals (32). Georgetowns scoring defense has come in a little bit better than Xaviers this season, allowing 65.6 ppg to opponents.
