MONTREAL -- It took two broken sticks and a bad deflection for the Florida Panthers to beat Montreal and goalie Carey Price on Tuesday night.Aaron Ekblad snapped his stick on an awkward slap shot that sneaked by Price in overtime, helping Florida beat the NHL-leading Canadiens 4-3.Price sought his 11th straight win, which would have matched George Hainsworths 1927 record for a single-season winning streak by a Habs goaltender.Instead, some bad luck in overtime handed Montreal its first home loss of the season after starting the year 10-0-0 at the Bell Centre.First, Alex Galchenyuk cracked his stick and had to sprint to the bench for a replacement.While he did, Ekblad wound for a shot from the right hash marks, but his stick splintered on the attempt and the puck trickled toward the net. It deflected off the boot of defenseman Nathan Beaulieu before sliding past Price 2:59 into OT.What can you do? Beaulieu said. It was a lucky one. The hockey gods didnt want us to win tonight.Alex Petrovic, Kyle Rau and Denis Malgin scored for the Panthers, and Roberto Luongo made 34 saves.It was a funny night, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. There were some funny goals. We just talk about putting pucks to the net and getting people going there. Sometimes you get the lucky breaks and the lucky bounces. To get four by Carey is not easy to do.Max Pacioretty, David Desharnais and Paul Byron had goals for Montreal, which is in its first two-game winless streak this season. Price made 20 saves in his first loss of the season.The loss was Montreals first when scoring the first goal of the game (12-0-1).Price allowed more than two goals in a game for just the second time this season.Montreal trailed 3-2 entering the third period, but Byron got his team-leading sixth goal 5:46 in. Luongo stopped an initial shot by Brendan Gallagher from a tight angle, but the puck squeaked through his pads to Byron for a tap-in.Alex Galchenyuk assisted on that goal and extended his point streak to six games.Pacioretty scored on a power play 2:12 into the game, but then Petrovic tied it less than three minutes later following an ugly giveaway by Philip Danault.Rookie defenseman Michael Matheson -- a Montreal native playing his first game at the Bell Centre -- set up Raus score. Matheson fed Rau in the slot with a no-look, between-the-legs pass, and Rau finished to make it 2-1 with 4:38 left in the first.I felt three or four guys around me, so I thought someone has to be open, Matheson said. I knew we were changing, so I just tried to apply some pressure. I ended up keeping the puck down low for a little bit. I was just trying to buy some time.Desharnais recorded an assist on Paciorettys goal for his first point in 12 games. In the second period, Desharnais scored his first goal since the teams home opener on Oct. 18 -- blocker side on Luongo from in close at 4:22 to tie it at 2.Malgin beat Price late in the second with a weak shot from far out that took a strange deflection off defenseman Jeff Petry.Game notes Montreal F Alexander Radulov missed the game due to illness.

The FA rejected Wilsheres appeal that the length of his punishment was "clearly excessive" and said Thursday his suspension begins with immediate effect. He will miss league matches against Chelsea on Monday and West Ham on Dec. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Minnesota Vikings feel as if theyre back in the playoff picture.The Jacksonville Jaguars seem to be counting down the days until the season is over.Although both teams looked mostly lost the past two months, the Vikings used a trip to Jacksonville to gain some much-needed confidence and maybe even turn around a season that went awry after a 5-0 start.We needed this one, receiver Adam Thielen said. Our backs were against the wall.Matt Asiata scored on a short touchdown run, Kai Forbath kicked four field goals and the Vikings beat the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars 25-16 on Sunday, winning for just the second time in nine weeks.Sam Bradford completed 24 of 34 passes for 292 yards and a touchdown. He wasnt sacked and scrambled four times for 17 yards. His 3-yard TD toss to tight end Kyle Rudolph with 2:13 remaining sealed the victory.Minnesota (7-6) hadnt won on the road since Sept. 25 at Carolina and needed a victory to keep pace in the NFC playoff race. With games against Indianapolis, Green Bay and Chicago remaining, the Vikings believe they can win out and slide in.I wouldnt say we were desperate, but definitely there was a sense of urgency, receiver Stefon Diggs said. When you get desperate or get in shambles and dont stay calm, cool and collective, thats when things dont go your way.Little went Minnesotas way Sunday, but it didnt matter.The Vikings lost the turnover battle, failed to score twice inside the 1-yard line , allowed a fourth-down conversion on a fake punt and missed an extra point.Those kinds of mistakes normally would result in a loss, especially on the road. Not against the Jaguars (2-11), who dropped their record-tying eighth consecutive game and fell to 0-6 at EverBank Field this season.Jacksonville now needs to win at Houston next week to avoid setting the single-season franchise record with nine straight losses. The club mark is 13 consecutive losses over two seasons.Its tough anytime you lose, quarterback Blake Bortles said. I know for me personally, I cant wait to play on Sunday the following week and get another opportunity and hopefully to try to erase some of this stuff thats going on and maybe wake up from this nightmare.With these last tthree weeks left and then having to live six months until you get another opportunity, I think is more fearful than counting down the days until its over.dddddddddddd I dont want to have to go through those six months.Here are some other things we learned from Minnesotas fourth straight win against Jacksonville:DEEP SHOTS: Known more for short passes than deep shots, the Vikings changed things up against the Jaguars. Bradford connected with Rudolph for 44 yards on the first play from scrimmage and then found Thielen for a 41-yard gain on Minnesotas second possession. Both set up field goals. He also found Diggs for a diving, 45-yarder in the first half.We created some explosive plays, and anytime you do that, it just makes it easier for the offense, Bradford said.LEE SHINES: Marqise Lee caught five passes for a career-high 113 yards, further establishing himself as Jacksonvilles go-to guy down the stretch. Allen Robinson finished with one reception for 17 yards, giving him nine catches for 90 yards in the past four games. Robinson, Bortles and offensive coordinator Nate Hackett held a private meeting this week in hopes of getting on the same page, but it was another dismal day for the 2015 Pro Bowl receiver. Lee, meanwhile, had another strong showing .Theyre all competing, but hes really standing out, said Jaguars coach Gus Bradley, who fell to 14-47 in four seasons. I like where hes at right now. I think hes playing with great competitive spirt and hes competing in his routes, hes competing in catching, hes competing in blocking.ZIMMER RETURNS: Vikings coach Mike Zimmer had no real issues in his first game back following eye surgery. Zimmer missed last weeks game against Dallas because of a detached retina and was unsure earlier in the week whether he would be on the field or in an upstairs box. Zimmer, who needed a doctors clearance to fly to Jacksonville, wore a patch over his right eye and had no limitations.I couldnt see to my right, but other than that, not really, he said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
