The Montreal Canadiens have a chance at securing eight of a possible 10 points on their homestand, but may be without their leading scorer for the finale on Saturday night against the Ottawa Senators. You can listen to the action live on TSN Radio 690 Montreal at 5pm et/6pm at. and on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa at 5:30pm et/6:30pm at. The Canadiens lost Max Pacioretty to an upper-body injury in Thursdays 2-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks as the forward was hit from behind into the boards in the third period. Pacioretty did not return as he was sent to the hospital for precautionary reasons. Head coach Michel Therrien labeled Pacioretty as day-to-day on Friday, with his status for this game unknown. Pacioretty leads Montreal with 13 goals and 25 points. Patch is very important to our lineup. Hes kind of our biggest offensive threat, a guy that other teams have to be aware of, said Habs forward Brendan Gallagher of Pacioretty. But whether hes out of the lineup or we get him back right away, it doesnt change the way everyone needs to play. I think weve had that next-man-up mentality, and whether he is in or whether hes not, we still have to do all the things we talk about doing. ... It would be nice to have him in there. Montreal had won the first three of its five-game homestand that wraps tonight before the loss to Anaheim. David Desharnais scored and Carey Price made 23 saves. It was a good game. We competed, said Therrien. We had good scoring chances. I liked our work ethic against a first place team. But we just didnt score on the chances we had. The Canadiens, who begin a span of five straight on the road Tuesday, are expected to have forward Lars Eller back in the lineup for the first time since he suffered an upper-body injury on Dec. 5. Ellers return will shift Desharnais from center to the wing on a line with P.A. Parenteau. Price, meanwhile, figures to get the start tonight in the first of four meetings this season with the Senators. He is 16-6-4 versus the club with a 2.35 goals against average, .921 save percentage and three shutouts. The Canadiens are 5-1-2 in their last eight versus the Senators overall and 6-0-2 in the previous eight meetings at home. Ottawa, meanwhile, has begun to turn things around under new head coach Dave Cameron, going 3-1-1 since he replaced a fired Paul MacLean on Dec. 8. The Senators picked up a 6-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night, giving the club two straight wins for the first time since Nov. 4-6. Mike Hoffman scored twice in the victory, while Kyle Turris and Mika Zibanejad had a goal and an assist each. Milan Michalek and Mark Stone added goals and Craig Anderson posted 30 saves. Things went real good for everyone today, said Cameron. When theyre all on their games they all bring different dimensions to the game. Ottawa has not won three in a row since a season-high four-game run from Oct. 11-18 and Cameron could give Robin Lehner the start in net tonight. Lehner is 1-0-2 in four previous meetings with the Canadiens including three starts, posting a 2.83 GAA and .931 save percentage. Lars Eller Jersey .

Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins said in a release Friday that Clifford is "resting comfortably" in the hospital but its too early to know when hell return to work. Higgins says Clifford checked himself into the hospital Thursday night because he was suffering from chest pains. Clifford, 52, joined the Bobcats this off-season after spending last year as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Bobcats are off to a 3-2 start under Clifford. Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing will serve as Charlottes acting head coach against the New York Knicks Friday night. Clifford becomes the second professional coach to check himself into a Charlotte hospital in the last week. Denver Broncos coach John Fox, who used to coach the Panthers and still owns a home in Charlotte, was admitted last Saturday with chest pains after experiencing pain while on the golf course. Rookie Cody Zeller said he didnt find out Clifford was in the hospital until he reported to shoot-around on Friday morning. "I just texted hiim and said I was keeping him in my prayers but I dont know much past that," Zeller said.dddddddddddd Clifford joined the Bobcats on May 29, replacing Mike Dunlap, who was fired after the Bobcats went 21-61. The Bobcats have been thrilled with Cliffords approach thus far, saying he has the right makeup to deal with professional players. He spent 13 seasons as an NBA assistant coach for the Knicks, Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets and Lakers. Ewing, the teams associate head coach, addressed the media before the game and said hes "a little nervous" about coaching his first game, particularly on such short notice. But he said his biggest concern right now is with Clifford. "Coach Clifford and I have been friends for a lot of years -- weve worked together for over 10 years now -- and this is definitely not the way I wanted to start my head coaching career with him being in the hospital," Ewing said. Ewing, a member of the Professional Basketball Hall of Fame, played 15 seasons for the Knicks from 1985-2000. The former Knick said, "Its ironic that my first chance to be a head coach will be against a team I played with for 15 years." ' ' '
