(Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators will try to finish off the second- seeded Montreal Canadiens when they visit the Habs on Thursday for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals. Listen to all the action live on TSN Radio 690, beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. The seventh-seeded Senators enter Game 5 with a 3-1 edge in the series. Ottawa earned a split at Montreals Bell Centre to begin the best-of-seven set before taking the last two meetings on home ice. The Sens then used a late comeback to force overtime in Game 4 and won it in the extra session on a fluky goal by Kyle Turris. After destroying the Canadiens, 6-1, in a fight-filled Game 3, the Senators won a much more subdued contest between the Northeast Division foes on Thursday. Although the Game 4 contest was short on penalty minutes, it was long on drama. Montreal entered the third period with a 2-0 lead after scoring twice in the span of 62 seconds early in the second. However, Mika Zibanejad cut the deficit to 2-1 with 8:05 remaining in the third and Cory Conacher tied it with just 23 seconds left, setting up Turris OT game-winner. On the winning play, Turris was harassed by a Canadiens defender in the left circle, but the Sens forward escaped long enough to send a wrister to the Habs net, which deflected off the elbow of defenseman Raphael Diaz and caromed past Peter Budaj -- who began the extra session in place of the injured Carey Price -- to end the contest. "I thought both teams played hard and played hockey. They were better than us for awhile, we were better than them for awhile," offered Senators head coach Paul MacLean. Craig Anderson stopped 26 shots for Ottawa, which can advance to the second round for the first time since 2007 with one more victory. The Senators have been bounced out in the first round in three straight trips to the playoffs since making a run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 07. PK Subban and Alex Galchenyuk lit the lamp early in the second period for the Canadiens. Price ended up with 30 saves, but Budaj was saddled with the loss. Meanwhile, it was announced Thursday morning that Price will miss the remainder of this series after suffering an unspecified lower-body injury while stopping the last shot of regulation. Budaj has seen action in five career playoff games, but this will be his first start. The injuries are beginning to mount for Montreal, as it was announced Wednesday that captain Brian Gionta needs to undergo season-ending surgery on his left biceps muscle. On top of losing the captain for the rest of the playoffs, forwards Brandon Prust, Ryan White and Lars Eller were already scheduled to miss Thursdays game with various upper-body injuries. In addition to injuries, the Habs also may have been the victim of a bad replay decision in the third period on Thursday. After Zibanejad redirected a Chris Neil pass from the right-wing boards into the net with his skate, the league looked at the goal. Despite overhead replays which seemed to reveal the puck being directed in with a distinct kicking motion, the goal was allowed to stand. "It was a kicking motion, theres nothing you can do about it, its a league decision," said Habs head coach Michel Therrien. The Canadiens will try to stave off elimination tonight on home ice, where they were 14-7-3 as the host during the regular season. Ottawa, which has never squandered a 3-1 series edge in its modern history, was 10-11-3 on the road this season. If necessary, Game 6 of this series is scheduled for Saturday in Ottawa.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Wilton Speight faced a defense determined to stop the run.Instead of being stubborn and sticking with a ground game, No. 5 Michigan asked Speight to put the ball in the air a lot and it worked out well.Speight threw four touchdown passes, two to Jake Butt and two to Amara Darboh, to help the Wolverines rout the Knights 51-14 Saturday.They were bringing a lot of people, Speight said after completing 25 of 37 passes for 312 yards in his second career start. We knew we were going to run play action.The Wolverines (2-0) have won their first two games by a combined total of 97 points.Were hungry, Butt said. Were up 30 points and we want to be up 40.The Knights (1-1) got off to a relatively good start before getting blown out. They ran for a first down on the first snap and forced Michigan to punt after its first three plays.UCF had a chance to pull within three points with 6-plus minutes left in the first quarter, but Chris Wormley blocked a kick for the Wolverines and a few minutes later they were up 14-0. Wormley blocked another field goal later in the game and the Wolverines appeared to get a hand on at least UCFs first punt.Butts second TD reception early in the second quarter gave Michigan a 31-0 lead.We think hes the best tight end in the country, Speight said. He makes our job easy as a quarterback and receivers.Khalid Hill, a 6-foot, 2, 263-pound fullback, plunged into the end zone for his second score early in the third to pad the Wolverines lead to 41-7 and they didnt have trouble keeping the comfortable cushion.It felt like we werent up by enough, said Amara Darboh, who caught five passes for 111 yards and two TDs.THE TAKEAWAYUCF: The Knights might need a new quarterback to run Scott Frosts no-huddle offense. Justin Holman landed awkwardly at the end of a run in the first half, walked off the field gingerly after an evaluation and didnt return to play. Nick Patti replaced Holman, who has an undisclosed injury. Frost said he may not have played even if cleared to return.dddddddddddd Just to make sure he is healthy going forward, he said.Michigan: The Wolverines will have something to work on this week despite another lopsided win. They struggled to run the ball with either DeVeon Smith or Chris Evans, forcing them to hand off to Hill and wide receiver Eddie McDoom to move the ball on the ground. That tells me our guys are playing harder and fighting, Frost said. Thats really what I wanted to see. Michigan allowed UCF to score on 87- and 34-yard runs, and allowed Holman to run for 35 yards and Patti to pick up 26 on a quarterback scramble.UP NEXTUCF: The Knights host Maryland, the second Big Ten school to play at UCF and the first since Purdue in 1999.Michigan: Rekindling memories of a dramatic finish, the Wolverines will play Colorado at home. Kordell Stewart lifted the Buffalos to a 27-26 win in the Big House on Sept. 24, 1994, with a 64-yard Hail Mary to Michael Westbrook on the last play of the game.INSPIRATIONALUCZF linebacker Shaquem Griffin made six tackles, ranking among team leaders against Michigan. Thats quite a feat for a player, whose left hand was amputated when he was 4 because of a birth defect.INJURY REPORTMichigan didnt have three key defenders available to play because of injuries: cornerback Jourdan Lewis, defensive tackle Bryan Mone and defensive end Taco Charlton. Last week, Harbaugh sounded as if he expected Lewis to play UCF. Something different came up, Harbaugh said. A muscle strain.NO DISRESPECTThe Knights were not on the field during the national anthem, but Frost insisted it wasnt a protest.They wouldnt let us out there and there wasnt any room on our sideline anyway, he said. Would have loved to been out there. There was a hundred people on our sideline, they held us in the tunnel.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
