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. Roger Clemens Yankees Jersey .

Pochettino has struck a verbal agreement over a two-year extension, which will keep him at White Hart Lane until 2021 - the deal is now with the Argentinians lawyers and expected to be confirmed in the coming days.Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain had all reportedly considered Pochettino for their top jobs next season after the 44-year-old led Spurs to second in the Premier League and all-but secured Champions League qualification.

Hes said it? Thank goodness for that. Im over the moon, Walker said.It is a relief. There is always going to be speculation. It happens all the time. Kyle Walker (L) has hailed Mauricio Pochettinos influence on Spurs after news broke he had verbally agreed to stay This player is going here, this manager is going there but I think thats not for me to talk about or for any other player to talk about. We just need to conduct ourselves professionally.Pochettino is an immensely popular figure in the Tottenham dressing room and it is understood there was a growing nervousness among the players about their head coachs future.The squads young crop are particularly loyal with the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Erik Lamela and Danny Rose, as well as Walker, all enjoying remarkable progress under his tutelage. Mauricio Pochettino explains why hes extending his contract at Tottenham. The new deal could keep there until 2021 For me, hes not just the manager on the pitch but its how he is off the pitch. That says everything for me, Walker said.Some of the managers that have come in, you know...theres young players here now and sometimes they do need an arm around them and to say, you can do this, sit them down, look at the TV screen, you can do this better, because we are still learning.We are probably not in our prime yet, most of us, so we are still learning and he is the man to take this club forward and onto new levels. Its just everytthing about him, his aura as well.dddddddddddd Its just fantastic. Guus Hiddink insists Chelseas players will take all their remaining games seriously Tottenham visit London rivals Chelsea on Monday, live on Sky Sports, knowing their title challenge could be over by the time they kick-off if Leicester beat Manchester United on Sunday, also live on Sky Sports.Even if the Foxes are not crowned champions this weekend, they only need three points from United, Everton and Chelsea to finish the job - but Walker has not given up hope.Its a difficult one because its not over until the fat lady sings, Walker said. Man United are still chasing something, Everton are not going to want to lose. Willian says the Chelsea players dont want Tottenham to win the league and will be doing their upmost to beat them There is no professional footballer who steps onto a pitch and says OK, were just going to chuck this one in. Everton, probably, have a point to prove, having not had the best of seasons.Chelsea likewise, the last game of the season at Stamford Bridge, theyll want to put out a performance for their crowd, so hopefully, theyre not easy games [for Leicester]. But first and foremost, we need to go to Stamford Bridge and win, and weve got two tough games after that. So nothing is a given.
