The Montreal Canadiens will look to Carey Price Saturday night to reverse their fortunes agains the Flyers. Vernon Davis Super Bowl Jersey . Montreal trails Philadelphia three games to one in their best of seven series. "He deserves a second shot," Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau told the Canadian Press. "I think in the last few days he had time to calm down and refocus and get ready for another long stretch." After the thrilling overtime win in Game 1, the Canadiens have dropped three straight to the Flyers. Price struggled mightily in Games 2 and 3, giving up seven goals combined. Carbonneau went with backup Jaroslav Halak in Game 4, but Montreal still lost 4-2. "It was a tough time, you always want to play, but you have to respect the coaches decision," Price said about missing Game 4. "Im just looking forward to getting back in there. "Hopefully, we can pull off a winning streak." Price believes that the break could be a good thing for him - an opportunity to recharge his batteries. "I feel a lot better," Price said Friday. "Having a couple of good days of practice really makes a big difference. "I worked hard and it did a lot of good. I was just getting worn out a little. I played a lot of games in a row (13). It was good to be able to get a mental break. It was a pause more than a setback. Every once in a while you need a break and the last game was a good time." There were rumours that Price might have hurt his glove hand, but Carbonneau rejected that outright. "Carey Price is not hurt," Carbonneau said flatly on Thursday. "His finger, his hand, his shoulder, his knee - he has no injuries." Prices postseason struggles have been well documented of late, as the 20-year-old rookie is 5-5 with a 2.55 goals-against average and .909 save percentage.   Patrick Willis Womens Youth Jersey .

The Sharks were down two games to one in this best-of-seven series and seemed to be in danger of losing to an eighth seed in the first round for the second straight year. However, San Jose has regrouped for consecutive wins to take a 3-2 series lead and can advance to the conference semifinals with a road win tonight. After notching a 2-1 overtime win in Colorado on Tuesday, the Sharks recorded a 5-0 blowout victory in Thursdays home game against the Avalanche. The dominant Game 5 performance marked the first time in this series that a contest was decided by more than one goal. Meanwhile, the eighth-seeded Avalanche will try to bounce back tonight and avoid their first opening-round exit since 2003, when they lost in seven games to Minnesota. The Avalanche are trying to become the third eight seed in five seasons to knock off a top-seeded club. Rookie center Logan Couture paced San Joses offense with a pair of goals, while Evgeni Nabokov made 28 saves in the Sharks lopsided victory on Thursday. Nabokov posted his seventh career playoff shutout to help give San Jose its first lead of the series Patrick Marleau had a goal and an assist for the Sharks, while Dwight Helminen and Joe Pavelski also lit the lamp for San Jose. "Lets not make any conclusion, we still have one game to win," Nabokov said. "This was a great game, but were probably going to face the toughest night in the next one. We have to be ready." Last year, San Jose entered the playoffs fresh off a 117-point season that netted them the Presidents Trophy annd high expectations, but the Sharks dropped the first two games against the Anaheim Ducks and wound up losing the series in six. Frank Gore Youth Jersey.

"Each game has picked up, the pace of the game," Avalanche head coach Joe Sacco said. "The intensity of the game has picked up. This time of the year you have to find a way to battle through it." Avs winger Milan Hejduk will miss his third straight game tonight with an upper-body injury suffered when he collided with teammate Paul Stastny in Game 3. Colorado forward Peter Mueller is back skating with the club, but is still doubtful for tonights game. He hasnt played since suffering a concussion on April 4 versus the Sharks on a hit by San Joses Rob Blake.

Defenseman Niclas Wallin (lower body) and winger Jed Ortmeyer (undisclosed) are questionable for tonights game for the Sharks. The Sharks and Avs are meeting in the postseason for the fourth time, with the last matchup coming in 2004. The Sharks won that series, 4-2, in the semifinals before losing in six games to the Flames in the conference finals.
