MONTREAL -- For a player who had just sat out two games with a virus, Alexander Radulov had plenty of energy.The Russian winger set up goals by linemates Paul Byron and Alex Galchenyuk as the Montreal Canadiens ended a three-game skid with a 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.Montreal (14-3-2) has won 12 straight games against its oldest rival dating to Jan. 18, 2014.Radulov was all over the ice in his return, picking up two assists and skating hard at both ends. He had missed games Tuesday against Florida and Friday at Carolina with an illness that he first felt during a 3-2 loss last Sunday in Chicago.It was bad, said Radulov, whose 16 points in 17 games place him second on the team in scoring to Galchenyuk. I had a fever. ... In Chicago, I felt it in the morning but it wasnt that bad. But it got worse overnight and I went to the hospital. But I battled through.Having a healthy Radulov back seemed to pick up the entire team. The Canadiens needed that, as well as Carey Prices 31 saves, in an entertaining, end-to-end game against the quick, young Maple Leafs.Radulov, a former Nashville Predator, has been a pleasant surprise for Montreal since he signed a one-year deal as a free agent in the summer after playing four seasons in the KHL.Weve all been around people who have that kind of energy, and its contagious, Canadiens defenseman Shea Weber, not intending a pun, said of Radulov. That be-positive attitude. Guys feed off that. Its not an act. Its who he is.As coach Michel Therrien put it: Hes intense. He loves practice. He loves meetings. He loves the game.William Nylander scored for the Maple Leafs (8-7-3), who were coming off a pair of home wins in which they totaled 12 goals.They pushed hard in the third period, but couldnt get a second goal past Price.Were happy with the way we battled at the end, Toronto defenseman Morgan Reilly said. We were right there the whole game.It was a one-shot difference. To keep it close was good, but you want to get one at the end there and tie it up and at least get a point.The Maple Leafs got another good effort from goalie Frederik Andersen, who faced 29 shots and had little chance on either goal he allowed.Freddies been outstanding, Reilly said. Its about us giving him the support he needs. We have a lot of confidence in him. Hes earned it.Byron was on the doorstep to jam the rebound of Shea Webers shot past Andersen at 15:45 of the first period. It was the diminutive wingers seventh goal of the season, only four shy of his career high.The Canadiens were 5 seconds into a power play when Galchenyuk also got his seventh of the season. He won a faceoff back to Weber, who slid the puck to Radulov on the right wing for a perfect feed in front. Galchenyuk put the puck into an open side 32 seconds into the second.Toronto struck back on the man advantage at 8:47 on an equally sweet three-way passing play, this time in tight traffic as the puck went from Auston Matthews to Leo Komarov to Nylander alone on the right side for his sixth of the season.Theyve got a skilled, young team, Weber said. Theyre good on the power play and theyve got speed.I thought we did a good job of staying behind them and taking away that speed a bit.It was the second meeting this season between the rivals. The Canadiens also won 2-1 at home on Oct. 29. Their next two matchups are in Toronto on Jan. 7 and Feb. 25.Game notesCanadiens captain Max Pacioretty played his 500th NHL game. ... Martin Marincin, Peter Holland and Frank Corrado were scratched for Toronto, while Montreal sat out Daniel Carr and Greg Pateryn.UP NEXTMaple Leafs: Host the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.Canadiens: Host the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.Phil Jones Jersey . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era.

Jack Butland England Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.LANDOVER, Md. -- When the NFL schedule came out, one opponent in particular stood out for the Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III and the Cleveland Browns in Week 4.Oh, I marked it on the calendar, said Redskins defensive back Will Blackmon, whose locker was next to Griffins last season, before the 2012 No. 2 overall draft pick and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year was jettisoned by Washington. I texted him: `Throw me one! He said, `I cant do that, man.So much for all of that, draining the most compelling story line from when the Redskins (1-2) host the Browns (0-3) on Sunday: The man known as RG3 broke a bone in his left shoulder in his first game as Clevelands quarterback and is sidelined .Griffin was a polarizing figure in Washington, drawing attention -- wanted, as much as unwanted -- for everything that happened on the field and off. There was his spectacular first season, including an NFC East title. There was the torn-up knee in the playoffs. There was the rehab process and All in for Week 1. More injuries. A real dip in quality of play. Clashes with coaches, first Mike Shanahan, then Jay Gruden.I just hope and pray he gets healthy as fast as possible ... and get a chance to show the Browns what theyve got and show what he can do as a quarterback, Washington left tackle Trent Williams said. When we won the division championship, obviously that was the height of his time here. And until last year, that was the height of my time here. So thats what I think about: I think about the good times. I dont really think about the swirling headlines that developed.Griffin and current Redskins QB Kirk Cousins (fourth round) arrived in the same draft, but it wasnt until last season that Cousins got a chance to be the starter for 16 games. Griffin, meanwhile, did not get on the field for a single play, inactive for all but one game.Asked his reaction when the schedule first came out, raising the possibility of a Griffin homecoming, Cousins avoided the topic completely, not even mentioning his former teammates name.And while rookie Cody Kessler will be making his second NFL start for the Browns, there are those who would have liked to have seen an RG3 vs. Skins matchup.I wish he was playing. That wouuld have been really cool, Blackmon said.dddddddddddd For Robert to come back here would have been a cool story to be part of. That would have been great drama for TV. I dont like drama, but I like drama for TV.Here is what else to know about Browns-Redskins on Sunday:ASKING FOR HELP: Browns coach Hue Jackson dismissed the idea his staff would be picking Griffins brain for help preparing a game plan against his former team. Some of our players will ask Robert questions as they go through it, Jackson said, but I dont think we as coaches have sat him down and interrogated him and said, `Hey, we are going to waterboard you if you dont tell us this.TRAP GAME?: Cousins was asked about the possibility of this being one of those matchups where the Redskins take a winless team too lightly and look past the Browns. I dont see any game in the NFL as a `trap game, Cousins replied. I mean, were 1-2. What are we feeling comfortable about?PRODUCTIVE PRYOR: The Redskins will want to know where Clevelands do-everything Terrelle Pryor is at all times. Last week, Pryor caught eight passes for 144 yards, threw for 35 and rushed for 21, becoming the first player since Frank Gifford in 1959 to have at least 120 receiving, 30 passing and 20 yards rushing in the same game.LINEUP SHUFFLE: After losing two players to IR last week, S DeAngelo Hall and C Kory Lichtensteiger, and having CB Bashaud Breeland and LG Shawn Lauvao get hurt less seriously, the Redskins will do some lineup shuffling. Blackmon will start for Hall. Arie Kouandjio will start for Lauvao, while Spencer Long will step in at center. The Redskins plan to have C John Sullivan, a free agent signed to place Lichtensteiger on the active roster, ready to go, just in case.RED ZONE: After ranking 11th in red-zone TD efficiency last season, the Redskins are next to last in the NFL, with only three touchdowns in 14 trips inside the opponents 20 -- including 0 for 4 last week.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
