The game can be seen live on TSN, TSN.ca and TSN Mobile TV, beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. You can also join in on our live Game Night Blog and listen to all the action on TSN Radio 1290 and at TSN.ca/Winnipeg, as well as on TSN Radio 990 and at TSN.ca/Montreal. The Jets have won three straight for the third time this season and another victory tonight will tie the clubs four-game winning streak from Dec. 1-9. Winnipeg enters tonight one point out of a playoff spot in the East. The Jets last played on New Years Eve, when they notched a 3-2 regulation win over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. Blake Wheeler scored the go-ahead goal midway through the second period and Ondrej Pavelec made 12 of his 21 saves in the third stanza to help the Jets held off the Leafs. Zach Bogosian and Andrew Ladd also scored in the second period for the Jets. "It was a great atmosphere tonight," said Bogosian. "It was kind of tough to get into a routine because we took a bunch of penalties, but we were able to work our way through it." Jets defenseman Tobias Enstrom had an assist, moving him into a tie for fifth place in Jets all-time points scored with Dany Heatley. Enstrom now has 181 points in 336 games played with the Jets franchise. Winnipeg played Saturday without defenseman Dustin Byfuglien (knee) and center Jim Slater (rib). Slater is expected to play tonight, but Byfuglien will sit out a fourth straight game. This evenings test marks the start of a four-game road trip for the Jets, who are just 5-8-4 as the visiting team this year. Winnipeg will also visit Toronto, Buffalo and Boston during this trek. The Canadiens, meanwhile, enter this evening as the last-place team in the Northeast Division and 13th out of 15 teams in the Eastern Conference. The club has lost seven of its last eight tilts and is just 1-6 since Randy Cunneyworth took over as head coach for the fired Jacques Martin. Montreal has lost two in a row since Cunneyworths lone win behind the bench and was also last in action on Saturday. The Habs played their final game of the 2011 calendar year in Florida and was handed a 3-2 regulation setback by the Panthers. Tomas Fleischmann scored two goals to lift Florida to victory. Fleischmanns second goal was an empty-netter with 41 seconds left in regulation that seemed to ice the game at 3-1, but Montreals Erik Cole raced down the right side of the ice after the Canadiens won the ensuing faceoff and slipped a backhander past Scott Clemmensen 11 seconds later to bring Montreal back within a goal. However, the Canadiens could not net the equalizer, despite firing a flurry of shots at the net in the closing seconds as Florida hung on for the win. Travis Moen joined Cole in the goal-scoring department for Montreal, while Carey Price stopped 32-of-34 shots in defeat. "The chances are there, were making most of the plays," said Price. "I liked the energy level we had tonight, but it was just one more tough night for us." The Habs are beginning a three-game homestand tonight, but the Canadiens are just 5-7-6 at the Bell Centre this season. Montreal has lost six of its last seven games in front of its home crowd. Montreal and the Jets have split the first two of four meetings this season, but tonight marks the first encounter in Quebec. The Canadiens recorded a 5-1 win over Winnipeg on Oct. 9, but the Jets pasted the Habs, 4-0, on Dec. 22.

The B.C. Lions kicker hopes to put in a better effort against the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday after a couple of rare misses last weekend. McCallum, who was almost perfect last season, missed two field goal attempts in a 23-20 loss to Saskatchewan. On the second one, Tristan Jackson returned the ball 129 yards for the decisive touchdown. But McCallum, who booted a record 30 consecutive three-pointers in 2011, is not dwelling on his mistakes as the Lions (2-1) host the Eskimos (2-1) at B.C. Place Stadium. You can see the game live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV, with coverage beginning at 9:30pm et/6:30pm pt. Dont forget to join our Game Night Blog and interact with your fellow fans. "Its professional sports," McCallum said Thursday after a practice at the Lions facility in Surrey, B.C. "Youre not going to be perfect. So youve just gotta put it behind you and go out in this game here and try and correct the mistakes you made and work hard. Thats all you can do." The 40-year-old Surrey, B.C., native made 50 of 53 field goal attempts last season while helping the Lions roar back from a 0-5 start to win the Grey Cup. But he has already missed three this season while making good on nine of 12 attempts. He has spent the past week reviewing video of his kicks from this season and previous campaigns in a bid to avoid more miscues. "My timing was a little bit off," said McCallum, who aims for a smooth golf-like swing with his kicking motion. He was also approaching the ball differently and made an adjustment. The Lions are also deploying a new holder in backup quarterback Mike Reilly, the replacement for Jarious Jackson, who was released and signed with Toronto as a free agent. Centre Angus Reid has also become the new snapper on field goals following Dan McCulloughs retirement. McCallum is still adjusting to the changes. "Its a work in progress," said McCallum. "Im not going to lie. Those guys are doing their jobs. But its a comfort level for me. The more work I get with them, the better." Reilly said Reid, also the centre on regular downs, has been able to position the ball well despite fatigue from drives down field, and he has been able to get the ball down on McCallums kicking tee every time. But the units alignment was off the last game. Before the season started, McCallum said his leg is not as strong as it used to be, but he is still able to make kicks when necessary. Lions coach Mike Benevides said he has no concerns about the 2011 CFL special teams player of the years ability to perform when necessary. Benevides expressed confidence that McCallums video sessions with special teams coach Chuck McMann will pay off. "It was a great exercise to go through," said Benevides. "He looked at his mechanics. He looked at his tempo and his strike. He looked at the previous 12 kicks of this season and he was able to analyze (them)." Benevides is more concerned about McCallum having to make tackles. The kicker saved a touchdown onn the first of Jacksons two returns as he got in the Roughriders way enough to bring him down. Adidas Originals Zx Flux. But McCallum was blocked on the second as Jackson took the ball all the way back. "Its not what hes good at, and I dont want him to do that," said Benevides. "But its part of the deal. If hes gotta make it, just slow (the returner) down a little bit, so someone else can get him." Admitting tackles are not a strong point of his game, McCallum, the last player back on kick returns, just tries to be a "speed bump" and slow the returner down. In 2009, McCallum was limited to seven regular-season games after being injured while making a tackle on a return against Hamilton. Although Benevides recognizes that McCallum has to make a tackle when necessary, he would prefer that the kicker not be placed in a position where he has to get anywhere close to the returner. "Paul is a safety for the field side," said McCallum. "We dont want him to be involved. We dont want him to be involved. We want everybody else to make the play." Meanwhile, Nick Moore will make his first start of the season at wide receiver for the Lions after Kierrie Johnson fractured his forearm on a touchdown reception against Saskatchewan. Johnson is expected to be out until at least October. Moore is grateful for the opportunity after experiencing injury troubles of his own and losing a starter spot last season. The 26-year-old Westerville, Ohio native separated his shoulder in the 2011 season opener against Montreal and then suffered a case of the drops after he returned. As a result, he appeared in five games and made only five receptions. Moore spent the first three games on the practice roster. Lions general manager Wally Buono said in pre-season that this is a make-or-break season for the second-year Lion. Moore had a strong training camp, earning heavy praise from Benevides, and scored two touchdowns in a 44-10 pre-season victory over Saskatchewan. The coach based his decision to go with Moore largely on his camp and pre-season showings. Moore is banking on the early results to help him in his first regular-season contest of 2012. "Last year was a frustrating year for me," said Moore. "To be able to have a successful training camp and go out there in the first pre-season game and be able to make some plays, it helped my confidence tremendously." Quarterback Travis Lulay said Moore has looked comfortable in his second season. He predicted Moore will perform well in Johnsons absence. "Mentally, hes in a good frame of mind," said Lulay. "You can tell hes excited to have an opportunity, and thats what you want. You want to play with a guy whos hungry to play well and play good assignment football and prove that he belongs." Notes: B.C. slotback Geroy Simon will play despite suffering a dislocated finger in Saskatchewan. ... Rookie defensive end Brandon Peguese will replace fellow DE Rajon Henley. Benevides said the move is designed mainly to use Peguese on punt returns. The first-year CFLer will not be used on field goals. ' ' '
