The Montreal Canadiens aim to extend their winning streak to four games when they welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets for Thursdays clash at the Bell Centre. Viewers in the Canadiens region can watch the game on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt and listen on TSN 690. The Canadiens have won three in a row and four of their last five games and recently put the finishing touches on a 3-1-0 road trip. Montreal closed the swing with Tuesdays shutout victory in Winnipeg before returning home to open a five-game homestand, which begins Thursday against the Blue Jackets. Defenceman Nathan Beaulieu could take forward Rene Bourques spot on the roster as the seventh defenceman as Bourque has the flu. Montreal hasnt fared well against Columbus in recent years, with the Jackets claiming two straight and four of the last five meetings. Columbus also boasts a record of 4-2-0 with one tie in its seven all-time trips to the Bell Centre. The Blue Jackets will be missing Marian Gaborik, however. The forward will miss the game because of the flu. The Canadiens hope goaltender Carey Price can stay hot on Thursday, as they try to reverse the recent trend against Columbus. Price notched his first shutout of the season by turning aside all 36 shots he faced in Tuesdays 3-0 triumph over the Jets. Price has made four starts against the Blue Jackets in his career and is 1-2-1 with a 2.70 goals against average in those outings. Brandon Prust and P.K. Subban scored in the first period for the Canadiens on Tuesday and Danny Briere added an empty-netter in the closing minutes. It was the first goal in a Habs sweater for Briere, who signed a two-year deal with Montreal over the summer. "We were ready to play. We wanted to dictate the pace. We wanted to surprise them with our intensity," Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien said. After this evenings tilt, Montreal will continue its homestand with Saturdays test against Nashville. Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty is questionable for Thursdays game after leaving the game against the Jets with a lower-body injury. Pacioretty has two goals and an assist in five games this season. While the Canadiens are shooting for a fourth straight victory on Thursday, the Blue Jackets will try to avoid a third consecutive loss. Both recent setbacks came in regulation, as Columbus dropped a 3-1 home decision Saturday against Boston before losing 2-1 Tuesday night in Detroit. Jonas Gustavsson turned aside 36 shots to help the Red Wings earn the close win over Columbus. Sergei Bobrovsky made 30 saves in the loss, while Cam Atkinson scored the only goal for the Blue Jackets. "As a coach its disappointing because this is where you want your guys to get rewarded for all their hard work," said Columbus head coach Todd Richards. "I thought we carried the play much of the game and outplayed them." The recent tilt in Motown marked the start of a three-game road trip for Columbus, which was 2-0 as the visitors before losing Tuesdays contest. The Blue Jackets are scheduled to complete their swing Saturday in Washington. Mikko Koivu Jersey .

Custom Minnesota Wild Jerseys .C. -- When Michael Jordan speaks, people still listen.VAL MARTELLO, Italy -- Nairo Quintana moved into the overall lead in the Giro dItalia after winning a tough and controversial 16th stage, in difficult weather conditions across the legendary Gavia and Stelvio climbs on Tuesday. Quintana, who is famed for his climbing skills, finished eight seconds ahead of Ryder Hesjedal. Pierre Rolland was third, 1:13 slower, on the 139-kilometre (86-mile) route from Ponte di Legno to Val Martello -- half of which was uphill. The 24-year-old Quintana -- one of the race favourites -- started the day 2 minutes and 40 seconds behind former leader Rigoberto Uran but beat his fellow Colombian by more than four minutes. Uran slipped to second, 1:41 behind Quintana, who showed he has recovered from a difficult opening two weeks, in which he suffered badly from a crash and also had to take antibiotics to fight a chest cold and fever. "It was raining a lot. We couldnt see any motorcycle. We all knew it was very dangerous," Quintana said. "We climbed the Stelvio together, and we all started to descend. There were four or five of us who pulled clear of the group. "I went at my rhythm. I gave everything today. I was climbing well in the end." Cadel Evans was third, 3:21 behind Quintana, and only five seconds ahead of Rolland, with other rivals also gaining time on the Australian. It was the first time both the Gavia and the Stelvio had been climbed on the same day and the stage was an exact copy of one of the legs in last years Giro, which had to be altered because of bad weather. There were fears the weather would again affect the stage this year and there was brief confusion as it was wrongly reported the route down the Stelvio had been neutralized with blizzards and rain making the technical descent even more treacherous. Some teams as well as the person responsible for the Giros official twitter acccount misinterpreted instructions to be careful on the descent, with riders slowing down at the top, wrongly understanding it to have been neutralized.dddddddddddd "The communication was badly interpreted by some teams," race director Mauro Vegni said. "The indications only highlighted the danger of several curves in a risky part of the descent. It was never said that the race was neutralized or that they shouldnt race." Several team directors continued to insist they had been told by the race radio to tell their cyclists the descent had been neutralized. That came after the cyclists had already dealt with heavy fog and snow on the Gavia. There was a group of 10 cyclists in the break which led up up the Stelvio and although, they had a lead of over two minutes, that started to come down on the climb. Dario Cataldo attacked 2km (1.2 mile) from the summit and went on to claim the Cima Coppi prize, awarded to the cyclist who crosses the highest point of the race first. He sped down the descent, as confusion appeared to reign in the peloton, with some cyclists sitting up and taking time to put on warmer clothing. Quintana went clear of Uran, and his chasing group was 1:20 behind Cataldo as the latter started the final climb up Val Martello, with the maglia rosa group more than two minutes further back. The Colombian and Rolland attacked with 18km (11 miles) remaining and caught Cataldo shortly afterward. Hesjedal caught up with the leading trio and Cataldo was then dropped as the leaders upped their pace. They continued to distance the overall leaders and Quintana accelerated with 7.5km (4.6 miles) to go, as the gradient ramped up to 14%. Rolland and Hesjedal managed to stay with Quintana, but had no response when the Movistar rider upped the pace yet again on an equally steep part just inside the final kilometre.
