verge of reaching the Champions League semifinals for the first time in 19 yea

PHILADELPHIA -- Motivated by a lopsided loss to the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Philadelphia Flyers ignored fatigue and rebounded nicely. Michael Raffl and Claude Giroux scored goals, Steve Mason made 20 saves, and the Flyers beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 on Thursday night. Jakub Voracek had two assists, and Giroux also had an assist to help the Flyers snap a three-game losing streak and extend their home winning streak to six games. They were coming off a 2-3-1 trip in which they finished 0-2-1, including a 7-2 loss at Chicago on Wednesday night. "Its good to see we can put things behind us and move on," Giroux said. "Guys were pretty excited to play home again. Our fans give us a boost. That was one of our best 60-minute performances." Mason shut out the Canadiens for 59 minutes before Alex Galchenyuk scored with 55.1 seconds left to cut it to 2-1. The Canadiens have lost two in a row after going 9-0-1. They followed a 6-0 loss at home to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday with another offensive clunker. "We were definitely slow in the first," captain Brian Gionta said. "Its tough when you start late to try and get back into the game. We made a good push, but it was just a little too late." The Flyers didnt show any ill effects from a 13-day trip. Despite playing three games in four nights, they looked fresh from the start. "I was happy with the way we skated," coach Craig Berube said. "You never know after a long trip how youre going to be. They were ready to go. I think theres a lot of character in the room. They werent happy about the loss in Chicago because they wanted to show they can play with that team." Raffl gave Philadelphia a 1-0 lead in the first period with his second NHL goal. Voracek set it up with a perfect pass from behind the net to Raffl in the slot. He wristed a shot over goalie Carey Prices glove into the top corner. Raffl didnt score in his first 17 games, but has two goals in three games this week. "I know when he has the puck, hes going to protect it and find me. I just have to be open," Raffl said of Voracek. Another crisp pass from Voracek set up Philadelphias second goal. Brayden Schenn took the puck up the middle, and he passed it to Voracek skating down the left side. Voracek sent a crossing pass to Giroux coming down the right wing, and he beat Price with a slap shot. Danny Briere, a fan favourite during six seasons with the Flyers, returned to Philadelphia for the first time since his contract was bought out last July. Briere got a standing ovation during a video tribute in the first period and he waved to the crowd from the bench. "It was weird playing against Danny," Giroux said. "Me and Danny are pretty close. We lived together. Hes one of my good friends. But on the ice, its a different story." The Canadiens had a goal disallowed in the third period because Gionta pushed it in with his hand while sliding headfirst into the crease. "I am very disappointed. Disappointing performance, honestly," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. "I thought especially with the game we played at home, I thought we were going to be on fire, and I am disappointed."

Robert Nkemdiche Jersey . -- Stanley Johnson scored all 18 of his points in the second half, T.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Tom Brady overcame a sloppy start with his new group of receivers to produce whats become a familiar finish. Brady marched the Patriots 49 yards in 12 plays to set up Stephen Gostkowskis 35-yard field goal with 5 seconds left for a 23-21 season-opening win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Brady twice completed passes to convert third downs on the decisive drive. That included threading a throw to his right to Danny Amendola in traffic for a 10-yard gain on third-and-8 at the Bills 39. Shane Vereen ran 15 yards on the next play, and the Patriots settled on running time off the clock before Gostkowski won it. Brady finished 29 of 52 for 288 yards and two touchdowns in helping the Patriots win their 10th straight season opener. That ties Portsmouth/Detroit (1930-39) for the NFLs third-longest streak. It marked the 36th time Brady led the Patriots to victory while tied or trailing in the fourth quarter. And he did it with nearly a brand new group of receivers. Amendola, an off-season free-agent addition, had 10 catches for 104 yards. Julian Edelman, the Patriots most senior receiver with tight end Rob Gronkowski sidelined, had seven catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns. The new-look Bills nearly pulled off a stunning upset in their first game under coach Doug Marrone and rookie quarterback EJ Manuel. It instead turned into an all-too-familiar outcome for the Bills against their AFC East rivals. They dropped to 1-19 in their past 20 meetings. They are 3-24 in 27 games since Bill Belichick took over as Patriots coach in 2000. Belichick won his 206th career game to move one ahead of Marty Schottenheimer for sixth place on the NFL list. Manuel, the first-round draft pick, completed 18 of 27 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. After trailing the entire first half, Manuel put the Bills ahead 21-17 on the first possession of the third quarter. Behind a solid running game, Manuuel capped an 11-play, 80-yard march with a perfectly placed 18-yard pass to Stevie Johnson.dddddddddddd The Bills had difficulty mustering any further offence, managing just three first downs and 73 yards on their final five possessions. Turnovers led to all four touchdowns in the first half. Patriots cornerback Kyle Arrington forced two fumbles, one by running back C.J. Spiller, the other by receiver Marquise Goodwin. Both came inside Buffalo territory and set up Edelmans 9- and 8-yard touchdown catches. Safety DaNorris Searcy scored Buffalos first touchdown by returning Stevan Ridleys fumble 74 yards. Justin Rogers intercepted Bradys pass that tipped off the fingers of Zach Sudfeld in the final minute of the half. Manuel hit fellow rookie Robert Woods for an 18-yard touchdown with 34 seconds left. Ridley did not return after his fumble. It was an unforced error, as Ridley slipped at the line of scrimmage and lost the ball without being touched. Ridley had also fumbled in the first quarter, but officials ruled he was down before losing control of the ball. Ridley spent the rest of the game watching from the sideline with his helmet perched on his head. Vereen took over most of the running duties and finished with 14 carries for 101 yards. Brady had difficulty finding chemistry minus his familiar security blankets. Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Aaron Hernandez are gone, while Gronkowski is still recovering from back and forearm injuries. Rookie Kenbrell Thompkins struggled in particular. He had only four catches for 42 yards despite being targeted 14 times. The Patriots offence lacked finish in the second half, coming away with two field goals on three drives inside the Bills 20. Brady fumbled a snap on fourth-and-goal at the 1 on New Englands first possession of the third quarter. And the Bills lacked discipline: They were penalized 10 times for 75 yards.
