(SportsNetwork.com) - Marian Gaborik and Anze Kopitar were key to the Los Angeles Kings run to a Stanley Cup title a season ago. The duo is at it again. The Kings take aim at a third straight victory on Monday night when they play host to a Calgary Flames club trying to avoid a ninth straight loss. Kopitar led the NHL with 26 points during the most recent postseason and Gaborik netted 14 goals in helping Los Angeles win the Cup. Injuries, though, have limited Gaborik to 22 games this season and Kopitar had struggled to just 14 points through his first 29 games before a recent two-game surge. Kopitar had a goal and four assists in a win over St. Louis on Thursday to begin a four-game homestand and then added another three helpers in Saturdays 4-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. Gaborik netted a goal for a fourth game in a row, with six total over that span. He also had picked up two assists during that run. Gaboriks goal with 2:20 left in the second period tied the game and Alec Martinez and Trevor Lewis scored in the third frame to put the contest away. Jeff Carter also scored and Jonathan Quick made 15 saves. We came out pretty good dictating the tempo, said Kopitar. It could easily go south after those two goals, but we stuck together and got it done on the power play. The Kings back-to-back wins come following a 1-3-1 road trip. L.A. is 13-4-1 at home this season and 4-7-5 on the road. The Flames face a tough task in slowing down the Kings momentum at home and are on their longest losing streak since an 0-6-3 stretch from Jan. 11-28, 2010. After losing seven in a row in regulation, the Flames did at least earn a point with Saturdays 3-2 overtime setback to the Vancouver Canucks. Calgary fell behind by two goals, one that was credited to Vancouver when Flames defenseman Dennis Widemans pass to the right point during a delayed penalty caromed off the boards past a teammate and all the way into the vacated net. I dont know what to tell you. It was a basic pass back to the point that kind of handcuffed him, took a funny bounce off the wall and ran all the way down the ice and into the net, said Wideman. David Jones and Johnny Gaudreau, though, scored to even the game before the Canucks won it just 18 seconds into overtime. Jonas Hiller ended with 30 saves in defeat. Goals are tough to come by, said Flames coach Bob Hartley. It would have been easy to fold the tent, but credit to our guys, they battled back. I thought we played a pretty solid game. Hiller has allowed two goals or fewer in three straight and four of his past five starts. He is 9-8-3 lifetime versus the Kings with a 2.30 goals against average, .928 save percentage and three shutouts. Quick is 9-5-2 versus the Flames with a 1.60 GAA and .934 save percentage along with two shutouts. Calgary won three of five versus the Kings last season and has taken two straight and four of its past six in Los Angeles.

Maria Silvia Bastos Marques, president of the EOM (Municipal Olympic Company), will be leaving her post but will remain as an advisor, a city hall statement said Tuesday. The axe came down on CFL veterans Justin Palardy, Hugh Charles, Jamel Richardson and Martell Mallett on Saturday. All four were released as CFL teams reduced their rosters to 46 players by the league deadline of 10 p.m. ET. The regular season kicks off Thursday with the Toronto Argonauts visiting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Veteran kicker Palardy was among 14 players cut by the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. While his release was surprising, the Edmonton Eskimos provided a shocker by including seven-year veteran Charles name in their final 15 cuts. A knee injury limited nine-year CFL veteran Richardson, 32, to only 18 catches for 197 yards last year, breaking a streak of five straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons with Montreal, which also let veteran linebacker Diamond Ferri go. Mallett, the 09 CFL top rookie with B.C., was released by Calgary. The running back was attempting to resurrect his career after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles tendon during training camp in 12 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Veteran defensive back Evan McCullough, who earned a Grey Cup ring with Toronto in 12, was among five players released by Hamilton. The Argos were expected to announce their final cuts Sunday. Palardy, a 26-year-old native of Truro, N.S., was looking to kick-start his CFL career with Ottawa but was released along with international kicker Paolo Henriques, leaving American rookie Brett Maher as the clubs only kicker. Howeer, late Saturday night it was reported that Maher had also been released. Maher had a field goal, three converts and single in Ottawas 26-10 exhibition win over the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night, but he didnt exactly receive a ringing endorsement from Redblacks GM Marcel Desjardins on Saturday. "Unfortunately nobody lived up to what we felt the acceptable level of performance would be," Desjardins told reporters. "Even in Bretts case, he knows he need to be better. "It doesnt mean hes locked into being our guy either . . . were still having guys to explore and other options to look at and were going to do that. We have time, we have bye week so we have a lot of time to figure this out." The Redblacks dont play their first game until July 3 in Winnipeg. Palardy, a former Saint Marys star, was taken in the fifth round of the 2010 CFL draft by Hamilton and played in five games as a punter before being released. Palardy joined Winnipeg in August 2010 and made 26-of-30 field goals for a club-record 86.7 per cent success ratio. He followed that up by hitting 40-of-52 field goals in 2011. The following season, Palardy was Winnipegs nominee for the CFLs top special-teams player after making 39-of-45 field goals and averaging a career-high 57.3 yards on 70 kickoffs. But after hitting 9-of-12 field goals in 13, Palardy was replaced by Canadian Sando DeAngelis and released by the Bombers on Aug. 27, 2013. He signed with Ottawa on March 6. Palardy punted 12 times against Montreal for a 39.8-yard average. Redbblacks head coach Rick Campbell said cutdown day is tough for all involved.dddddddddddd "This is not a fun day," he said. "Theres a lot of guys that have put in a lot of work to get to this point and to try and make a football team. "To give people bad news, you never want to do it but its a part of the fact of what happens in pro sports." Over his career, Palardy made 114-of-139 field goals (82 per cent) and boasted a 42.1-yard punting average Also released by the Redblacks were national receivers Aaron Hargreaves, Simon LeMarquand and Steven Adu, international defensive back Parker Orms, international linebacker Devin Arrington, national defensive lineman Stephon Miller, international defensive lineman Dimetrio Tyson,, national offensive linemen James Lee, Brendan Dunn and Aaron Wheaton, international receivers Taulib Ikharo and Travon Patterson. The B.C. Lions released seven players. They were: national running back Guillame Bourassa, international defensive back Tony Burnett, international linebacker, Korey Jones, international defensive lineman Dyrell Porcha, international offensive tackle RJ Dill, national kicker/punter Steven Shott and national linebacker Thomas Spoletini. American defensive end Scooter Berry, who was entering his third CFL season, was among 14 players released by Montreal. The six-foot-two, 275-pound Berry had spent time in the NFL with the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars, as well as Arena Football Leagues Jacksonville Sharks, before joining the Alouettes. "Lost a lot of good teammates today especially my boy (at)Sdot--Berry," Alouttes defensive lineman John Bowman tweeted. "I wish all yall the best. "This is the non fun part about the game." Montreals moves mean international receiver Chad Johnson made its final roster. Johnson, 36, was a longtime NFL star but was out of football for two years before signing with the Alouettes. In addition to Charles, Edmonton released national defensive linemen Michaell Dadzie and Gregory Alexandre, national receiver Anthony Barrett, international defensive linemen Cameron Sheffield, Daniel Ross and RaShon Harris, national cornerback Raye Hartmann, national centre Gord Hinse, international defensive backs Robert Sands and Myron Lewis, international slotback Brandon McRae, national punter-kicker Zackary Medeiros, national linebacker Kyle Norris and national fullback Smith Wright. The Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders released 26 players, including international linebacker Brandon Isaac, who earned a Grey Cup ring with Toronto in 12 and spent last season with Hamilton. Also let go were national receivers Jade Etienne -- selected fourth overall in the 11 draft by Winnipeg -- and Jordan Sisco, a 2010 second-round pick by the Riders, and international defensive lineman Markus White, who suffered a seizure during camp. Winnipeg made its final cuts Friday, releasing 11 players, including former starter Max Hall. ' ' '
