Martin St. Louis scored in overtime to give the New York Rangers a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in Game Four of the Eastern Conference Final. The Rangers are now one win away from their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final since winning in 1994. St. Louis, who has 13 points in 18 postseason games this year, has 81 points in 81 career playoff games, his 1.00 points per game in the playoffs ranks fifth among active skaters. He currently has seven points during a six-game point streak and had a game-high nine shot attempts. On the winning goal, the Canadiens failed to clear the zone several times and Rangers LW Carl Hagelin found St. Louis wide open on the right wing. St. Louis took his time and picked the top corner on the short side. Hagelin, who scored a shorthanded goal earlier in the game, has tied St. Louis for the team lead with six goals in the playoffs. Rangers C Derick Brassard returned to the lineup, after missing a couple of games due to injury, scored a goal and was dominant in the faceoff circle, winning 18 of 24 draws (75.0%). He was also one of three Rangers (Derek Dorsett, Benoit Pouliot) on the ice for more than 70% of 5-on-5 shot attempts. Both teams had 29 shots on goal (and 56 shot attempts overall), but the Rangers had better possession numbers at even-strength. They had to because the Canadiens had eight power plays to the Rangers three. The Canadiens did manage to get their first power play goal of the series -- initially credited to P.K. Subban, but sure appeared to be deflected by RW Brendan Gallagher -- but the Habs are 1-for-17 (5.9%) in the series and they are going to be hard-pressed to beat the Rangers without an effective power play. Subban played a game-high 33:16, with 12:51 coming on the power play. Game One against Boston, a Double-OT win when he played 33:49, is the only game this season in which Subban played more than he did in Game Four against the Rangers. Canadiens C David Desharnais, who had three assists in the previous 12 games, did record assists on both of Montreals goals, though Desharnais, along with linemates Max Pacioretty and Brendan Gallagher, were all on for one-third or less of the 5-on-5 shot attempts. Pacioretty didnt register a shot on goal, with one shot blocked counting as his only attempt in 21:47 of ice time. G Dustin Tokarski stopped 26 of 29 Rangers shots. While he went down too early on the winning goal, Tokarski made a number of quality stops and gave the Canadiens a chance to win. He has a .917 save percentage in three games, which is good, but not good enough to overtake the Rangers when Henrik Lundqvist is on top of his game. Lundqvist has a playoff-leading .931 save percentage in 18 playoff games. With C Derek Stepan out due to a broken jaw and LW Dan Carcillo suspended, the Rangers turned to rookie LW J.T. Miller, but Miller ended up playing only 3:09, knocked out of the game for some time by an Andrei Markov hit that drove him into the Canadiens net. Miller didnt play from the midpoint of the second period until taking a shift in overtime. Inserted into the Montreal lineup for a suspended Brandon Prust, LW Michael Bournival played 8:42, lowest on the team, but had respectable possession numbers in that time. Its not as if the Canadiens havent had opportunities in this series. The possession numbers favour the Rangers, but only slightly, and if the Canadiens power play starts clicking, then maybe they could turn the tide. It will have to start with Game Five, in Montreal, but to do it three times in a row is a tall order, indeed.

The Reds will host the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight in the opener of a four-game series at Great American Ball Park, and the debut matchup will feature a pair of pitchers whose recent resumes have included a fair number of bases-clearing hits.(SportsNetwork.com) - After having a season high-tying win streak halted last time out, the Montreal Canadiens hope to rebound on Saturday night when they host the sliding Pittsburgh Penguins. The Habs had a run of six straight wins snapped with a 4-2 setback to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, the same club that Montreal eliminated with a four-game sweep during the first round of last seasons playoffs. Despite Montreals recent run, the loss was costly as the Habs fell into second place in the Atlantic Division and now trail the first-place Lightning by four points. The Habs do own three games in hand over Tampa Bay, which is idle on Saturday. Dale Weise and Max Pacioretty scored on Tuesday for the Canadiens, while Carey Price allowed all four goals on 36 shots in the loss. We forgot tonight why we have had success, said Montreal head coach Michel Therrien. We didnt deserve to win so we have to put this one behind us and get back our focus, get our work ethic back and our discipline back for our next game. P.A. Parenteau missed the game and the forward is questionable for Saturday with an upper-body injury. The Penguins head to Montreal following a 2-1-1 homestaand, but Wednesdays 3-2 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins dropped the club to 2-4-2 in its past eight games.ddddddddddddPittsburgh is one point behind the New York Islanders for first place in the Metropolitan Division. Patrice Bergerons second goal of the game was the winner for Boston on Wednesday and it came with 2:17 left in overtime. Bergeron got behind Pittsburgh defenseman Simon Despres and redirected Milan Lucics shot from the point. After a lengthy review to determine if the puck was hit by a high stick, the goal was ruled good. Evgeni Malkin had a goal and assisted on Beau Bennetts first-period tally, while Marc-Andre Fleury made 21 saves. I think we played hard, Malkin said. Just not enough to win. Marcel Goc is questionable to return tonight for the Penguins from an illness. Pittsburgh has won eight of its last 11 games in this series and four of the past six played in Montreal. That includes a 4-0 road win on Nov. 18 in the first of three encounters this season. Fleury posted a 27-save shutout to improve to 17-10-3 with a 3.09 goals against average and .895 save percentage, while Bennett had three points off a goal and two assists. ' ' '
