CHICAGO - Most of the bounces — even crazy, hard-to-explain ones — seem to be going the Chicago Blackhawks way. Latrell Sprewell Jersey .Brandon Saad scored with 27 seconds left in the third period and surging Chicago won its fifth straight game, 4-3 over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night.Saad snapped a shot past Corey Price from the low edge of the right circle for the winner. Patrick Kane shot from the top of the slot and Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov couldnt handle the puck.That turned out to be the difference in a back-and-forth, up-tempo game between two Original Six rivals played before a crowd of 22,087, the Blackhawks largest this season.I think Kaner was trying to get to the net and it got deflected and ended up right on my stick, so Im thankful for that, Saad said.Chicagos Jonathan Toews scored a power-play goal early in the third to tie it at 3. Michal Rozsival and Ben Smith connected at even strength as the Blackhawks won for the eighth time in nine games by coming back from a 3-2 deficit after two periods.It was just Chicagos second win this season when trailing after 40 minutes.I think there was composure, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. You could sense on the bench there was no desperation.We were heading in the right direction. Lets be positive in finding a way, he said.Montreals Brendan Gallagher scored and set up 40-year-old Sergei Gonchars first goal in nearly a year. P.K. Subban added a power-play goal for the Canadiens, who have lost two straight and are 1-4-1 in their last six.Following the game, Canadiens kept watching replays of Saads winner, trying to figure out just what happened. Heading into the game, Montreal was a perfect 10-0-0 when leading after two periods.It was just a bad break, Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. I thought our effort was there and we competed against a really good hockey team.At times you need breaks to win the hockey game, and we didnt have the break tonight, he said.It was the second and final regular-season contest between the teams. The Blackhawks won 5-0 at Montreal on Nov. 4.Antti Raanta made 38 saves as Blackhawks No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford sat out his second game with a foot injury, sustained while leaving a concert.Price blocked 32 shots.Gonchar, acquired from Dallas on Nov. 11, scored his first goal with the Canadiens and first since Jan. 25, a span of 44 games.Rozsival, a defenceman, opened the scoring 2:13 in with his first goal of the season to cap a 3-on-2 rush.Raantas pad save denied Brandon Prust on a breakaway midway through the first to maintain the lead, then Smith made it 2-0 with 1:44 left in the period.Smiths shot from right wing hit traffic in front and bounced around just beyond the crease, but Smith plowed to the net and chipped in the loose puck.Gallagher responded just 26 seconds later to make it 2-1 and nip Chicagos momentum when he one-timed a rising shot from right hash marks into the upper left corner of the net.Gonchar tied it at 2 at 7:58 of an up-tempo second period.Subban put Montreal ahead 3-2 with 2:38 left in the second, just 13 seconds into a Canadiens power play.With Subban off for hooking, Toews power-play tap-in at 4:18 of the third made it 3-all.NOTES: Montreal C Lars Eller sustained an upper-body injury in the first period and didnt return. ... Blackhawks F Patrick Sharp missed his 13th game (knee) on Friday, but could rejoin the team during a four-game road trip that starts Saturday in Nashville. Chicago has been on a roll without the 32-year-old winger, who led the team in goals (34) and points (78) last season. Im just trying to get myself back into game shape and jump right in, Sharp said. He was injured on Nov. 4 in Montreal. ... The Blackhawks honoured Canadiens great Jean Beliveau, who died on Tuesday, with a pregame moment of silence. JaVale McGee Jersey . The struggling New Orleans Pelicans were simply overmatched. Crawford hit seven 3s on his way to 24 points, and the Clippers beat the Pelicans 123-110 on Monday night. "We understand what we do well.

A spokeswoman for the NLRB says its "a very incremental move" and does not necessarily indicate the board is close to a finding in the case. NFL owners filed an unfair labour charge against the players union in February, arguing that the union was not negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement in good faith.East Lansing, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Dez Wells scored 16 points and No. 12 Maryland went into Breslin Center and stunned Michigan State 68-66 in a double overtime thriller in the Terrapins Big Ten debut. Wells, who forced OT with a 3-pointer late in regulation, also had seven rebounds and five assists for Maryland (13-1, 1-0 Big Ten), which moved from the ACC to the Big Ten this summer. Melo Trimble shot 12-of-14 from the foul line for 17 points for the Terps, winners in six straight games. They had zero free throws at halftime and then ended up with 32, said MSU coach Tom Izzo. We couldnt cover anybody. Our guards struggled. Trailing by three with time winding down, Wells stepped into a 3 and hit nothing but nylon. Denzel Valentines half-court heave narrowly missed, and the game went into OT, but not before a lengthy video review. Officials spent nearly five minutes watching the replay of Wells triple to see if his foot was on the line, but the video was inconclusive. MSU led 55-51 with under two minutes to go in the first OT period, but Wells found Jon Graham for a layup and made a pair of free throws to force another five minutes. Maryland did most of its damage from the stripe in double-overtime. Wells and Richaud Pack both made two and Trimble hit all six of his to help the visitors prevail. Thats a great win for us, said Maryland coach Mark Turgeon. Im not sure how we did it to be honest with you. Travis Trice scored a game-high 26 points for Michigan State (9-5, 0-1).
