The Habs last posted back-to-back victories with road wins in Phoenix and Nashville on Nov. 10 and 12, respectively. The Habs and Flyers have split the last six meetings in this series, but Montreal slammed Philly, 5-1, when the clubs met for the first time in 2011-12 at the Bell Centre on Oct. 26. The Flyers, however, have taken two straight and three of the last four encounters on home ice. Both Montreal and the Flyers are fresh off road comeback wins on Wednesday night. The Canadiens posted a 4-3 shootout decision at Carolina, while Philly topped the Islanders, 4-3, in overtime. Brian Gionta scored the game-winning goal in the third round of the shootout to lift the Canadiens to the win in Raleigh. Gionta, the Canadiens captain, moved in slowly on Cam Ward, deked once and fired it past the netminder to the glove side for the winner. Carolina led the game 2-0 after the first period, but Montreal tied the game at 2-2 just 27 seconds into the third. Carolina would take a 3-2 advantage at 3:18 of the third period, but the Canadiens evened the score just 1:19 later. Lars Eller, Mike Cammalleri and Travis Moen lit the lamp in regulation for the Habs, while Carey Price made 30 saves for the win. Montreal also stopped all four of Carolinas power-play opportunities in the game and the Canadiens are ranked third in the league this year in penalty killing. "Its probably one of our greatest strengths as a team right now," Eller told his teams web site about the PK unit. "And of course we have Carey in nets whos always our best penalty killer."

Montreal defenseman Hal Gill returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing the previous five games with an illness. Fellow blueliner Jaroslav Spacek sat out a fifth straight game with an upper body injury and is questionable for todays tilt.

The Flyers have injury concerns of their own and they will not have forward Jaromir Jagr in the lineup today after he aggravated a groin injury in Wednesdays win over the Islanders. Jagr, who has 17 points in 19 games with Philly this year, had missed two games before returning against the Isles. He left the game early in the second period and did not return. Philadelphia captain and top defenseman Chris Pronger has also missed the last two games with an illness and he is questionable for today. Pronger has 12 points in 13 games for the Flyers this year. The Flyers won on Wednesday thanks in large part to the heroics of Danny Briere, who tied the game late in regulation and won it at the 2:34 mark of overtime. Philadelphia trailed 3-1 after the first period but rallied for its fourth win in six games. "What Im most impressed with, is the resiliency to come back from that early deficit, the drive to stay with it," said Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette.

The testimony contrasted with several messages read out in court at the request of the prosecution a day earlier in which Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp argued in the weeks before he fatally shot her. In those messages, Steenkamp told the double-amputee runner that she was sometimes scared by his behaviour, which included jealous outbursts in front of other people. Defence lawyer Barry Roux noted that the tense messages amounted to a tiny fraction of the roughly 1,700 messages that police Capt. Francois Moller, a cellular telephone expert, extracted from the mobile devices of the couple. Roux noted a Jan. 19 exchange in which Reeva sent Pistorius a photo of herself in a hoodie and making a kissing face, followed by the message: "You like it?" "I love it," Pistorius said, according to the message. "So warm," Steenkamp responded. Roux was also granted permission to show CCTV video, earlier broadcast by Sky News, that showed Pistorius and Steenkamp kissing in a convenience store. And he asked Moller to read out a Jan. 9 message from the model to her athlete boyfriend. It read: "You are a very special person. You deserve to be looked after." Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned the relevance of showing the convenience store video, saying he could ask for a courtroom viewing of another video, also broadcast by Sky News, that shows Pistorius at a gun range, firing a shotgun and using a pistol to shoot a watermelon, which bursts on impact. Nel also said thaat many messages of affection between the couple were brief, in contrast to the texted arguments, which were far longer and dwelled on their relationship in greater depth.

She made the connection just before 9 p.m. on Feb. 13, 2013, and the connection lasted for more than 11 hours, possibly because social media programs were still open. Pistorius fatally shot her shortly after 3 a.m. through a closed toilet door in his home. "If an application is not closed, it will carry on running," Moller said. Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp in his home the early hours of Valentines Day, and Mollers extraction of data also shed light on what appeared to be a frantic series of phone calls made from one of Pistorius cellular telephones after the killing. They include a call to the administrator of the housing estate where Pistorius lived at 3:19 a.m. on Feb. 14, a call a minute later to an ambulance service and a call a minute after that to the housing estate security. The phone that was used for those and other calls was only handed over to police 11 days later, Moller said. Police analysis also showed that a five-minute Internet connection was made on Pistorius telephone from 1:48 a.m. on Feb. 14, a little over an hour before he killed Steenkamp. Moller did not specify whether the connection was manual or automatic. Moller said he received as evidence two BlackBerry phones, two iPhones, two iPads and a Mac computer from Pistorius house the day after Steenkamp was shot to death. Prosecutors allege Pistorius killed Steenkamp after an argument. Pistorius says he killed her by accident, mistaking her for an intruder in his house. cheap jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
