LOS ANGELES -- The Montreal Canadiens will continue their annual trek through California when they face the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center on Sunday afternoon. Though the temperatures are warmer than back home in their native Quebec, the reception from their hosts has been ice cold.Montreal (16-6-2) sits atop the Atlantic Division thanks to its superior 12-1-1 record at home. Its 1-0 loss at San Jose on Friday dropped their road record below .500 (4-5-1).The road through California has been especially rough with Montreal posting a 1-8-2 record in the last 11 games against the California teams (San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles). The Canadiens have struggled to find their offense in the first three games of this road trip, posting only five goals in three games and wasting two strong performances by goaltender Carey Price.You just have to keep grinding, said Price after suffering his third regulation loss in 17 games. You just have to keep working and hopefully our fortunes will turn for the rest of the trip.The challenge for Montreal is the contrast of styles posed by Los Angeles. The Canadiens speed game was successful in a 4-1 win over the Kings on Nov. 10, but they have been worn down by both the Ducks and Sharks in consecutive losses. In order to break their losing streak and sweep the season series against the Kings, the Canadiens know they must control the tempo.Weve gotten away from our game, defenseman Jeff Petry told the Montreal Gazette prior to the San Jose loss. We were using our speed then we got away from that. Its something that we need to learn from because if we use our speed, were a tough team to handle.The Kings (13-10-1) will look to avenge last months loss at Montreal with continuing strong play on home ice. They enter the game with a 9-3-0 home record and appear to have found their stride after an inconsistent opening month. A 4-3 win in Arizona on Thursday was the sixth in seven games for the Kings, who trail the division-leading San Jose Sharks by four points with a game in hand.After being besieged with injuries to start the season, Los Angeles depth is bolstered by the return of two key players and better health by one of its stars. Left winger Marian Gaborik missed the seasons first 20 games with a broken foot. Goaltender Jeff Zatkoff, plagued by groin injuries that limited him to just five appearances, earned his first win as a King in the Arizona victory.Anze Kopitar put up his first multi-point game since missing five games with a wrist injury, registering two assists in the Arizona win.Zatkoff was thought to be the starter after Jonathan Quick was sidelined with a serious groin injury but Peter Budaj was anointed by coach Darryl Sutter with Zatkoffs health issues. Budaj had appeared in 22 consecutive games before being relieved by Zatkoff after the first period in Arizona.Not playing eats away at you in the sense that you want to play, you want to contribute to the team and you want to be a piece of the puzzle, Zatkoff said. I feel really comfortable with my game and I just want to keep building on it.If Los Angeles creates enough offense to split the season series, it will likely do it without help from its special teams. Despite having a star-studded lineup and one of the best home records in the league, the Kings power-play production at home has been virtually non-existent, converting on 3 of 26 chances to tie them with the New York Islanders for 28th place in the NHL.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Eddie Lacy doesnt know whether hes going to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, but the Green Bay Packers running back knows theres one major part of the rehab process from last weeks ankle injury that he doesnt like.A cold tub, which I really despise, Ive just got to tell you all that, Lacy said.Lacy was headed back there Thursday afternoon after he took part in practice on a limited basis.I went until they shut me down, Lacy said after practice. Did a couple of individual drills to see how it felt running around and, yeah, stopped when they told me to.Seated at his usual interview spot on the edge of a table in front of his locker, Lacy had his ailing left ankle covered with a compression sock so it was difficult to tell how much swelling, if any, he had. He had the ankle taped during practice.But at least he didnt require a walking boot as he did for a good portion of his rookie season, when he battled a sprained right ankle for most of the second half of the season.I dont think I would say its as bad, Lacy said. I dont think I need a boot.Lacy also battled an ankle injury early last season. Neither time did he miss a game because of it. In fact, hes only missed two games in his NFL career: one last season because of a groin injury and one as a rookie in 2013 because of a concussion.Lacy appeared on his way to a second straighht 100-yard rushing game when he dropped out in the third quarter of last weeks win over the Giants.dddddddddddd Lacy, who rushed for 103 yards in the Week 3 win over the Lions, was up to 81 yards on 11 carries when he got hurt against New York.The Packers need Lacy this week perhaps more than ever given?James Starks?tenuous situation. Starks, who finished Sundays game after Lacy dropped out, has a knee injury and also has been excused from all team activities until at least Saturday because of a death in his family.Thats what were shooting for, Lacy said. Hopefully Im able to get out there and play.Its going to come down to Sunday, he added. Im going to do everything in my power to be able to put myself in the best position when its game time to go out there and play.At this point, the Packers dont have another halfback on the roster. They could promote Don Jackson from the practice squad, and after releasing No. 3 quarterback Joe Callahan on Thursday, they have a roster spot open. However, they also might need room on the roster for defensive end Mike Pennel and cornerback Demetri Goodson. Both are eligible to be activated after serving four-game suspensions to start the season, but the Packers have until Monday to do so.
