COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Columbus Blue Jackets (4-3-1) host the Montreal Canadiens (9-0-1) at Nationwide Arena on Friday.The Canadiens, arguably the hottest team in the NHL, have yet to lose a game in regulation this season. They are riding an eight-game winning streak coming into Columbus.Its nice to arrive in the morning and have the two points there, but we know its time to get back to work at practice. We have to make sure that when the play is there we make it, and we have to start playing that way against Columbus 1/8on Friday 3/8, Habs captain Max Pacioretty told the teams website.Although goaltender Carey Price (6-0-0) stopped 42 shots in their 3-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday, the teams sluggish start to the game served as a wake-up call. At one point, they were outshot 24-3 in Wednesdays win.We worked on our execution this morning to make sure were ready to work right from the start of the game tomorrow in Columbus, continued head coach Michel Therrien. We know the Blue Jackets are a hardworking team, and they have a tough building to win in.On the blue line, Shea Weber helps make the Canadiens back end more stable. Since being traded to Montreal from the Nashville Predators straight-up for P.K. Subban, hes tallied four goals and six assists for 10 points in 10 games. He has a plus-minus of plus-14 and is averaging more than 25 minutes per game.The Blue Jackets are above .500 for the first time this season after an overtime win Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. Two factors that factor into Columbus success are their special teams and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.They have the best power play in the NHL, converting at 35.0 percent. Add to that their penalty killing unit ranking fifth at 88.9 percent, allowing three goals on 27 chances, and their special teams play is helping them when called upon. Cutting down on the number of penalties they take will help ease the burden on their special teams.Conversely, Montreal is 15th on the power play (20.0 percent), but is second in the NHL when they are a man-down (90.0 percent).Between the pipes, Bobrovsky has started all eight games for the Blue Jackets, recording 4-3-1. Although he gave up five goals in the teams season opener, he has a 2.02 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage.Defensively, Seth Jones (2-4-6) has been a workhorse for the Blue Jackets. The 22-year old leads the team in time on the ice (149:57), and has shined as part of the top-defensive pairing with 19-year-old Zach Werenski.I think Ive been playing pretty consistent, Jones told the teams website. The main thing for me is to be solid defensively first and I think Ive done a pretty good job with that, with Zach, so I think were playing very well together and having a lot of success right now.Jones has been used in all situations, having the ability to skate the puck out of danger, while jumping into the play offensively when warranted.Hes been good all year long, head coach John Tortorella said. He has been ready and hes brought people along with him. As weve talked about: our back end is going to be our engine as we move forward here, and hes a big part of it. Air Max 270 React Pas Cher .

He snapped an 0-for-17 skid that accompanied playing through a bruised middle finger and thumb suffered when he was hit in the hand by a pitch June 26 against Arizona.The last couple of nights, I felt good out there, Story said. I just havent had the results. You just simplify, keep working, trust your preparation in the cage and how its going to translate to the field.It translated well enough for Story to join Dave Kingman (1972) and Albert Pujols (2001) as the only NL rookies to hit 21 home runs prior to the break.Any time youre with guys like that, its an honor. To have done what theyve done, its pretty cool, Story said.Rockies manager Walt Weiss saw Story making strides at the plate as his hand injury improved.Its good to see him swinging the bat, Weiss said.

Maikel Franco doubled and singled but had his home run streak snapped at four games.The Rockies scored runs in the first three innings, starting with Nolan Arenados RBI double in the first off Adam Morgan (1-7). Morgan allowed six runs on nine hits in five innings and dropped to 0-7 in his last nine starts. After the game, Morgan was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.ddddddddddddYou never like to send anybody out, Phillies manager Peter Mackanin said. He knows what he has to do to improve.Morgan was told of his demotion during a postgame meeting with his manager.It was a good conversation, Morgan said. They shot me straight. Thats all you can ask for as a player. It was good, it was the truth and I needed to hear it. My point of view right now is I can only go up from here.Reynolds led off the second with his ninth home run, and in the third, with LeMahieu and Carlos Gonzalez aboard, Story drove a 3-2 offering from Morgan into the left-field bleachers for his first homer of the game and a 5-1 Rockies lead.Story put the Rockies up 6-2 in the fifth with his second homer.Reynolds keyed Colorados five-run burst in the seventh with his bases-loaded double.Bettis allowed two runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.GET OUT THE VOTEWith fan balloting for the final NL All-Star berth nearing a close, Story made his pitch for last-minute votes with his big night.
