BROSSARD, Que. - Francis Bouillons bid for another season with the Montreal Canadiens is over. The veteran defenceman who was a favourite of coach Michel Therrien dating to their junior days in the 1990s was told Monday he would not be offered a contract after attending training camp on a tryout. The five-foot-eight 195-pound Bouillon, who will turn 39 on Oct. 17, learned his fate at an emotional meeting with Therrien and general manager Marc Bergevin. The New York native who grew up in Quebe City hopes to find another NHL club and will consider going to Europe to continue his playing career. I was ready for both situations, he said, adding that he may have regretted it in the future if he didnt take one last crack at staying on in Montreal. The Canadiens look ready to start the season with youngsters Nathan Beaulieu and Jarred Tinordi on the blue-line. Beaulieu is expected to play on the third defence pair, while Tinordi will likely be kept as the seventh defenceman. Bergevin said it was time for the young rearguards, who both spent most of last season at AHL Hamilton, to become full-time NHL players. Whoever deserves ice time will get ice time, he said. We have two young guys. Its time to turn the page for these guys. They need to get better and better. On Sunday, the Canadiens answered their goaltending question by trading backup Peter Budaj and prospect Patrick Holland to Winnipeg for minor leaguer Eric Tangradi. That gave the job as Carey Prices backup to Dustin Tokarski. There is still one forward to be cut, but Bergevin said he wont make an announcement until the player is informed. Lars Ellers lower body injury may affect the decision. They still have 19-year-old centre Jacob de la Rose in camp. Bouillon had two goals and four assists in 52 games for Montreal last season and added two goals in the playoffs. He signed a free agent with Montreal in 2012 when Therrien began his second stint as the Canadiens head coach, and inked a one-year extension last season. He played in Montreal from 1999 to 2009 before moving to Nashville for three seasons. Bouillon was captain and Therrien the coach when the Granby Predators won the Memorial Cup in 1996. Therrien sought the undrafted defenceman out when he was coaching the AHL Fredericton Canadiens in 1998-99 and coached him again when he took over from Alain Vigneault in Montreal partway through the 2000-01 campaign. Bouilon has 32 goals and 111 assists in 776 career NHL regular season games.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Andy Dorman and Kelyn Rowe scored in the second half to lead the New England Revolution to a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City in the first leg of their Eastern Conference semifinals series on Saturday night. Dorman put the Revolution on the scoreboard in the 55th minute, while Rowe made it 2-0 in the 67th. Aurelien Collin pulled Sporting within one in the 69th. "I thought it was a hard-fought battle between two teams fighting for everything," Revolution coach Jay Heaps said. "It certainly wasnt a pretty game, but (rather) two teams pushing hard and two teams trying to get ahead in the playoffs." The Revolution, appearing in the post-season for the first time since 2009, entered the match with a 501-minute regular season goal drought against Sporting Kansas City, a streak that reaches back to the 2011 season. The Revolution spent much of the first half trying to find their rhythm and ending the streak. "We played with a lot of discipline, and we were very well organized," Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen said. "We forced their back four to play the long balls up to the striker, our centre backs won the ball, and our midfielders were good on the second balls. The Revolution had to survive an early scare before they were able to step on the gas. In the 18thh minute, Graham Zusis corner kick found Chance Myers, who headed the ball toward the goal before Lee Nguyen cleared it off the line.dddddddddddd "Some games, we put two players on the post and sometimes, we put one player on the post," Heaps said. "But tonight, we made the right call and put two players on the post." After a first half filled with erratic play from both teams, the Revolution were able to break through early in the second half. Diego Fagundez blasted a shot that was initially saved by Nielsen before the rebound fell to Juan Agudelo. The Revolution striker was able to direct on frame and Dorman tapped it through. Rowe made it a two-goal advantage 12 minutes later when Nguyen slid it toward him and his touch redirected it into the back of the net. Sporting struck back two minutes later. Amid a chaotic fight for the ball inside the Revolution box, Collin was able to steer C.J. Sapongs ball into the net. "I think we showed how strong this team is to come back, and that goal gave us a good life line," Nielsen said. The clubs will play the second leg of the series on Wednesday at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. The team with the most aggregate goals in the two matches will advance to the conference finals against the winner of the New York-Houston matchup.
