ice a lineup comprised of a majority of their opening night roster to face the
Lightning. One of the players still trying to earn a regular season spot is
19-year-old forward Brendan Gallagher. He has impressed during camp and will
skate in tonights game on the second line with Max Pacioretty and Scott Gomez.
The Delta, B.C. native told a Montreal newspaper that he feels playing with
NHL-caliber players has already had a positive effect on his game. "I think the
best way to develop is to be around the best players," Gallagher told the
Montreal Gazette. "For me to get better in this organization, there are a lot of
role models here. Being here, I feel Im developing. Just since the start of
camp, I feel Im a better player." The club has until Saturday at 5pm et to
sign Gallagher to a contract or he will be sent back to the Vacnouver Giants of
the WHL. Veteran defenceman Chris Campoli will make his Canadiens debut in a
defensive pairing with Josh Gorges. The 27-year-old Mississauga, Ontario native
signed a one-year deal with Montreal on Monday. Ryan Malone will also be making
his pre-season debut for the Lightning. The 31-year-old rugged forward played in
54 games last season finishing with 14 goals and 24 assists. The Lightning won
their last pre-season contest Saturday night against the Florida Panthers.

isnt exactly singing his teams praises after the Bobcats won for the sixth time
in seven games. In fact, the first-year head coach said hes a little concerned
about his teams focus as the playoffs approach. "We havent been the same team
the last two games," Clifford said. "Whether we exhaled after clinching (a
playoff spot), or whatever it is, I dont know. Whatever it is, we have two games
to get it back." The Bobcats held on to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 111-105 on
Saturday behind 29 points and 12 rebounds from Al Jefferson, but it was far from
an impressive victory. The win came on the heels of a costly loss at Boston
Friday night that dropped the Bobcats back to seventh place in the Eastern
Conference standings. Charlotte (41-39) remains one game behind Washington in
the race for the sixth seed with two games left. The Wizards defeated Milwaukee
104-91 on Saturday night. Jefferson said the Bobcats need to find their mojo
with two tough games coming up to close the season — at Atlanta on Monday night
and at home against Chicago on Wednesday. "I thought (the loss to Boston) would
wake us up for this game, but I dont know whether it was a back-to-back, three
games in four nights or what," Jefferson said. "... You could tell we were low
energy. But we found a way to win, so thats the positive side of it." You cant
blame Jefferson for the teams sudden funk. He has at least 20 points and 10
rebounds in each of the last six games, a franchise record. Luke Ridnour,
starting in place of injured point guard Kemba Walker, had 12 points and eight
assists in his first start for Charlotte. Clifford said he expects Walker to
return from a groin injury Monday night. But he expressed plenty of confidence
in Ridnour to handle the role when needed. "Were organized when Luke is in
there," Clifford said. "He gets guys into their right spots. He has a high
basketball IQ and he knows the NBA game." Michael Carter-Williams had 23 points
and eight assists to lead the 76ers, who havee lost 16 of their last 17 games on
the road.
Adidas Superstar 2 Soldes. The same problem
that haunted the Bobcats in their loss to Boston — poor defensive effort — hurt
them early on against the 76ers. Philadelphia took a 59-56 at the break despite
the Bobcats shooting 62 per cent from the field in the first half. Charlotte
would begin to take control late in the third quarter, opening a double-digit
lead behind a pair of 3-pointers from Ridnour and Chris Douglas-Roberts and some
solid inside play from Cody Zeller. But ultimately the game came down to
Philadelphias inability to stop Jefferson in the low post. Jefferson is
averaging 26.1 points and 13 rebounds over the past six games and he showed
again why hes an All-NBA team candidate. Jefferson had his way early on scoring
21 points in the first half on 10-of-13 shooting. He used his old-school style
of play to make defenders Henry Sims and Byron Mullens look foolish at times by
getting them to leave their feet with pump fakes, leading to easy up-and-under
layups. "Hes got one of the best head fakes in the game, so its tough to defend
him," Mullens said. Philadelphia got 16 points from Thaddeus Young and 15 from
Henry Sims, but it wasnt enough for the leagues second-worst team. Still, it was
a better showing than last week when the 76ers lost by 30 to the Bobcats on
their home floor. At one point, the 76ers fell behind by 16, but closed to
within four in the final minute — but were unable to take the lead. "It was
entirely different," coach Brett Brown said. "When you look at the last time we
played this team, it was as good an effort as anybody has played on our home
court. They shot it and they guarded. Tonight we blinked a little in the third,
but we found a way to get back in it in the fourth." NOTES: Philadelphias
Jarvis Varnado was a late scratch with a right heel injury. ... The Bobcats have
won 24 games at home, the second-most in franchise history. .. The Bobcats are
18-9 since the All-Star break, including 14-6 in their last 20 games.
