(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 homestand, but Wednesdays 3-2 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins dropped the club to 2-4-2 in its past eight games. Pittsburgh 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.

Pinch-hitter Tommy Medica singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Padres beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in their first home game since Gwynn died of cancer Monday. "It was a little different today," said manager Bud Black, who played with Gwynn for one season at San Diego State. "Even when the game was over. I think everybody handles what has happened with Tony a little bit differently." Before the game, Mark Martinez, Gwynns top assistant at San Diego State, threw the ceremonial first pitch to Black. The Padres players and coaches then gathered around a large No. 19 painted on the grass in right field, which was Gwynns number and position, and observed a 19-second moment of silence. "It all sort of hit home and Im sure that the stadium, not just the 25 players, but all of us here in the stadium, have come across Tony," Black said. Starters Felix Hernandez and Andrew Cashner pitched well but didnt get a decision. Hernandez struck out 10 and allowed only three singles in seven innings, with no walks. But he allowed the Padres to tie it at 1 on a wild pitch with two outs in the sixth. Everth Cabrera started the winning rally by beating out an infield single on a chopper against Charlie Furbush (0-4). Cabrera was sacrificed over by Alexi Amarista and scored on Medicas liner to centre. James Jones throw home was late and off line. It was Medicas second game-winning hit of the season. Medica had met Gwynn a few times, and had played against San Diego State while at Santa Clara. The Padres lost their first two games after Gwynn died, at Seattle. "You could see it on the road, even in Seattle, I mean, there were Tony Gwynn jerseys all over the place," Medica said. "You could see how much he meant to baseball, let alone the San Diego Padres organization. You could see it again tonight, and all the great things hes done for this team and for baseball. Im sure he was smiling down after that win." It was the mmost runs the Padres have scored in four games.dddddddddddd They had lost three straight, including two in Seattle. Joaquin Benoit (3-0) pitched a perfect eighth. Huston Street worked the ninth for his 19th save in as many chances. Hernandez allowed a leadoff single to Seth Smith in the first and then retired the next 15 batters until Amarista beat out an infield single. Cashner sacrificed Amarista, who took third on Smiths groundout and scored on Hernandezs wild pitch to tie the game at 1. "It was a changeup and I threw it too hard," Hernandez said. "That was a tough loss for us. I missed a lot of pitches." Said manager Lloyd McClendon: "It was a tough game for the Seattle Mariners, not just Felix. Those things happen. They had their best guy on the mound and we had our best guy on the mound. It was one of those games where we knew it was going to be close." Cashner allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings, struck out two and walked two. The Mariners took a 1-0 lead in the second when Mike Zunino was hit by a pitch, took third on Dustin Ackleys single and scored on Brad Millers single.
