LONG POND, Pa.
Jared Goff Jersey . -- Pocono Raceway is
extending the length of its IndyCar race to 500 miles. IndyCars return this year
was a 400-mile race, in part to fit the event into a broadcast window. The race
was part of the "Triple Crown" challenge in which a driver could win a $1
million bonus by sweeping the Indianapolis 500, the Pocono race, and the season
finale at Fontana. Both Indy and Fontana were 500 miles, but Pocono was 100
miles shorter. Track President Brandon Igdalsky said Friday fans were adamant
they wanted the race to be a true 500-miler. Igdalsky also said the NASCAR Truck
Series race would be extended from 125 miles to 150 miles.

T.J. McDonald Jersey . - The Sacramento Kings
never beat the Los Angeles Clippers in four games last
season.(SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of playoff teams meet Saturday night at the
Bell Centre, as the Montreal Canadiens host the New York Rangers in the regular-
season finale for both clubs. While the Rangers are locked into the Metropolitan
Divisions second spot, the Canadiens are still fighting for home-ice advantage
in their upcoming first- round series against Tampa Bay. However, they fell a
point back of the Lightning, who defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday
night, with one game left for both teams. Tampa Bay is idle on Saturday before
visiting the Washington Capitals on Sunday. New York, meanwhile, knows it will
open the first round at home, but isnt certain if it will be against the
Columbus Blue Jackets or Philadelphia Flyers, who are still battling for third
place in the Metro. The Habs are aiming to bounce back on Saturday after
suffering a second straight loss in Thursdays home test against the New York
Islanders. Montreal had won seven of eight before going 0-1-1 over its last two
games against Chicago and the Islanders. After losing a 3-2 overtime decision
Wednesday in Chicago, Montreal was shut out the following night by the visiting
Isles. The Canadiens only fired 19 shots on net in the 2-0 loss and
Evgeni Nabokov stopped every one for his fourth shutout of the season.
Carey Price turned aside 28-of-30 shots for the Canadiens, who were blanked for
the first time since a 4-0 loss in San Jose on March 8. "It was a bad
performance from our team. We didnt play a good game," Canadiens coach Michel
Therrien said. Thursdays setback was just the second in six home games for
Montreal, which is 22-13-5 at the Bell Centre. Montreal announced Friday that
forward Alex&nbbsp;Galchenyuk will miss the first round of the playoffs due
to a lower-body injury suffered in Wednesdays game against the Blackhawks.
William Hayes Rams Jersey. . The 20-year-old
has 13 goals and 31 points in 65 games this season. Habs forward Lars Eller has
missed the last two games due to illness and is questionable for Saturdays
regular-season finale. The Rangers have won two straight and clinched second
place in the Metro with Thursdays home win over the Buffalo Sabres. The victory
gave New York a 9-2-1 record over its last 12 games. Rick Nashs goal with 1:42
left to play lifted the Blueshirts to the 2-1 decision over the Sabres. Nash
one-timed a Martin St. Louis feed past Buffalo goaltender Matt Hackett for the
win. Henrik Lundqvist did his part by stopping 23-of-24 shots and Benoit Pouliot
also scored to help the Rangers overcome a 1-0 deficit late in the second
period. After a scoreless first period, both teams tallied once in the second
stanza despite New York holding a lopsided 18-1 edge in shots during the middle
period. "We showed some patience, its not an easy game," Lundqvist remarked. "It
felt like they came out pretty good, but after that they were just waiting for
something good to happen to them and we took over the game." The win gave New
York a 20-17-4 regular-season record at Madison Square Garden. The club is
25-14-1 as the road team in 2013-14. The Canadiens and Rangers have split two
meetings so far this season, with each club posting a regulation victory on the
road. New York halted a four- game overall skid in the series with a 1-0 win at
Montreal on Nov. 16 and also snapped an eight-game slide at the Bell Centre.
