MONTREAL -- It wont take long for Thomas Vanek to get his
first taste of the heated Montreal Canadiens-Boston
Bruins rivalry.
Jersey/">Elgin Baylor Jersey . The 30-year-old
acquired by Montreal at last weeks NHL trade deadline
will play his first home game at the Bell Centre against
the Bruins on Wednesday night. "Rivalries are for the
fans," Vanek said Tuesday. "Theyre good for the league,
but for us in here, and Im sure its the same as
everywhere. Its just about winning the two points. "But
Im sure the atmosphere will be great and I cant wait to
experience it." Vanek has a reputation as a Bruins
killer, with 61 points in 53 career games against Boston.
So the acquisition of the high-scoring forward by
Montreal gave an added jolt to the rivalry. But the
Austrian winger said there are no secrets about how to
score on the Bruins. "Numbers are numbers," he said.
"Sometimes theyre overblown. "I dont prepare any
different. Its just another game, really. Theyre a good
team and youve got to be ready. The last four or five
years, Boston has been one of the better teams in the
league and you want to play your best against the best
teams." The Canadiens are 2-0-0 against Boston this
season and have won their last five meetings. But the
Bruins (42-17-5) hold a comfortable 12-point lead over
Montreal (35-24-7) in the Atlantic Division standings.
Vanek was acquired while the Canadiens were on a four-
game west coast road trip. So he didnt get in a full
practice with his new team until it returned to Montreal.
He was held without a point in his first two games with
Montreal while playing on the second line with centre
Tomas Plekanec and Brian Gionta. Some feel he would do
better on a more attack-oriented unit, as Plekanec is
considered the clubs top defensive centre even if he can
also contribute offensively. "Weve got to be good in our
own zone and Plekanec is very good in all zones," said
Vanek. "He can make plays. Hes great in faceoffs, great
defensively, but at the same time, were expected to
produce. "At least thats what Im expecting of myself."
Coach Michel Therrien plans to keep the line together, at
least for now. "It takes time for players to adapt to new
teammates," said Therrien. "I want to be patient. I think
that combination can work." Tuesdays session, which
lasted more than an hour at the Bell Centre, saw goalie
Carey Price take part in a full practice for the first
time since leading Canada to gold at the 2014 Winter
Olympics. Price aggravated a suspected groin injury in
his first practice after the Sochi Games. Therrien said
Price wont dress for the Boston game but will be re-
evaluated at the end of the week. That opens the
possibility of playing Saturday at home against Ottawa.
Therrien also said Francis Bouillon, who has sat out the
last seven games, will play. Montreal is hurting on
defence with veteran Josh Gorges out at least four weeks
with a fractured left hand. Gorges was hurt while
blocking a shot during a 4-3 win over Toronto on March 1.
He played the first two games of Montreals road trip but
then was sent home to have his hand re-examined. Gorges
said the original fracture was considered stable, so he
could continue playing. But something happened during a
win in Anaheim that made it unstable. "At that point,
they felt it was best to get it fixed," he said.
"Potentially, it might not have been able to heal at all
so they decided to have it fixed now and have me back
ready by the end of the year." He said playing through
the injury was difficult, but possible. "I was able to do
what I needed to contribute," he said. "Certain aspects
were tough. "Grabbing my stick. Grabbing the puck if I
needed to clear it on the penalty kill. But I was still
able to make passes, receive passes. As long as I wasnt
hurting the team, I was able to go."

America claimed 2.5 of the three available points,
opening up a 17.5-12.5 lead in the overall standings. A
total of 60 points are available, meaning the first team
to 30.5 points will win the Continental Cup. DENVER --
Aramis Ramirez had three hits, including a solo homer,
and Wily Peralta won his fourth straight start as the
Milwaukee Brewers beat the error-prone Colorado Rockies
9-4 on Saturday. Carlos Gomez extended his hitting streak
to 17 games to help the Brewers improve to 5-1 on their
seven-game trip. Peralta (8-5) went 7 2-3 solid innings
and allowed four runs, three earned. He gave up a two-run
single to Justin Morneau in the first and then shut down
the leagues best offence until Corey Dickersons two-run
homer in the sixth. Christian Friedrich (0-1) lasted six
innings and surrendered nine runs, four earned, in his
season debut. He was betrayed by his defence as the
Rockies committed a season-high four errors. Friedrich is
the 11th starting pitcher the Rockies have used this
season. The 26-year-old lefty, who missed most of last
season due to back inflammation, was 1-8 with a 7.89 ERA
for Triple-A Colorado Springs before being recalled. The
Brewers have scored 22 runs in the first two games of the
series. Milwaukee scored four in the second inning on
Saturday and four more in the third, which was more than
enough for Peralta. The righty only got stronger as the
game went along, still touching 97 mph before being
pulled with two on and two out in the eighth. Rob Wooten
struck out Mike McKenry to end the threat. Ramirez had
his second straight three-hit day. His solo homer in the
fifth was his ninth of the season. Mark Reynolds and
Gomez also added two hits. Gomez has reeached base safely
in 34 straight games, the fifth longest streak in
franchise history.
Jersey/">Jordan Clarkson Jersey. Colorados faulty
fielding in the second opened the door for a big inning.
Third baseman Josh Rutledge had two errors in the frame,
and second baseman DJ LeMahieu had another trying to turn
a double play. Leading 5-2 in the third, the Brewers
broke the game open on a strange play with the bases
loaded as Friedrichs wild pitch paved the way for all the
runners to score. Friedrich sent a pitch past McKenry,
who quickly tracked the ball down on the right side of
the plate and tossed to Friedrich covering home. The ball
sailed over Friedrichs head, allowing Ramirez to score
from third and Reynolds from second as the ball rolled
toward the Brewers dugout. Jean Segura was on first when
the play started, but when Friedrich walked toward the
field after picking up the ball -- and a shaken-up
McKenry bent over -- Segura hustled home. NOTES: The game
started 23 minutes late because of weather. ... RHP Kyle
Lohse (8-2) takes the mound for the Brewers in the series
finale. LHP Tyler Matzek (1-1) goes for Colorado. ... The
Rockies selected the contract of reliever Wilton Lopez.
The team optioned utility player Kyle Parker and reliever
Chris Martin to Colorado Springs. ... The Rockies
transferred outfielder Michael Cuddyer (fractured left
shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list. ... Colorado OF
Carlos Gonzalez (left index finger) said he hopes to have
his stitches taken out next week.
