MONTREAL -- There was something familiar about the way coach Mike Babcocks Detroit Red Wings checking smothered the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night. It was almost exactly like the way Babcocks Team Canada won gold at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The result was a 2-1 Red Wings victory on Swedish Olympian Gustav Nyquists rebound goal with 28 seconds left in overtime. "(Babcock) always stressed that we play this way," said Johan Franzen, who returned from a concussion to assist on both Detroit goals. "This is how you win games. "Especially coming down the stretch here and going into the playoffs, this is how you have to play hockey. Youve got to track like never before, and always be above their guys and make it small for them so you can create turnovers. Then you give your team a lot of opportunities." Franzen set up a power-play goal 14:01 into the first period by Todd Bertuzzi for Detroit (27-20-12). Captain Brian Gionta scored for Montreal (32-21-7) with 29 seconds left in regulation time after goalie Peter Budaj was pulled for an extra attacker. Babcocks defence-first style helped Canada go 6-0 at the Olympics, surrendering only three goals along the way. Giontas goal was the first against a Babcock-coached team since Lauris Darzins got one at 15:41 of the first period of Canadas 2-1 quarter-final win over Latvia. Canada shut out the United States 1-0 in the semifinals and then topped Sweden 3-0 in the final on Sunday. "Its tough to compare," said Nyquist. "Its a different style of game on a smaller rink here. "It was an adjustment for a few guys out there. But it was nice to get the win." There were a handful of Olympians of both sides who had trickled back over the past week as their teams were eliminated. It made for slow, scrambling hockey with few good scoring chances on either side. Detroit had a 30-20 shot advantage, and fans booed as Montreal tested Jimmy Howard only twice in the second frame. "Im sure guys noticed the time difference a bit," said Nyquist. "You have to battle through it. "It was the middle of the night in Sochi, but weve been back for three days and were starting to get it back. Well get some sleep before we play in Ottawa (on Thursday night)." The Canadiens salvaged a point when Gionta collected a puck at the side of the net in a scramble and backhanded the tying goal into a top corner. "The execution was not there tonight for both teams," said Montreal coach Michel Therrien. "Both teams played solid defensively. "There wasnt much space on the ice. But we put ourselves in position to get a point. Its disappointing that we didnt score in overtime or get to the shootout." Franzen fed Bertuzzi at the edge of the crease for a power-play goal 14:01 into the game after Canadian Olympian P.K. Subban was called for roughing. Bertuzzi returned to the lineup after missing eight games with an upper-body problem. Franzen had sat out six in a row and 21 of the last 22 with his concussion, but said he felt fine after the game. In overtime, Franzen tipped a Danny DeKeyser shot and the rebound went to Nyquist for a shot into an open side. Budaj had been slated to start in goal for Montreal even before Canadian Olympian Carey Price suffered a lower-body injury during the teams game-day skate. He is to start again when Montreal visits Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The 21,273 at the Bell Centre gave a rousing ovation to 12 members of Canadian mens and womens hockey gold medallist teams from the Sochi Olympics in a pre-game ceremony. The biggest cheers went to Marie-Philip Poulin, who had two goals in the womens final, and to Babcock and Canadiens players Price and Subban.

Ronaldo got the scoring started from the penalty spot in the 36th minute after a debatable decision from the referee, and he added goals in the 65th and 81st minutes to help his side equal the mark set by Barcelona in 2005-06. Madrid will now attempt to break the record on Tuesday night against Bulgarian side Ludogorets in the Champions League, while Saturdays victory takes Carlo Ancelottis team five points clear of Barcelona, which hosts Espanyol on Sunday. Ronaldo threatened a few times in the opening half hour before he won a penalty kick in the 36th minute under questionable circumstances. The former Manchester United man dashed into the box to track down a lofted ball from Marcelo, and he went down under the slightest contact from Cellta defender Jonny.dddddddddddd Ronaldo picked himself up and sent goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez the wrong way from the spot, putting Madrid up 1-0 at the break. The hosts were having trouble breaking down the Celta defense, and they were denied by a nice stop from Alvarez on Gareth Bale just after the hour mark. A few minutes later, however, Ronaldo got a kind bounce inside the penalty area that allowed him to lash a volley home from 12 yards to double the advantage. Ronaldo then set a new La Liga record nine minutes from time when he completed his 23rd hat trick by arriving at the back post to tap in a nice ball from Marcelo. Atletico Madrid moved into second place after notching a 2-0 win at Elche through goals from Jose Gimenez and Mario Mandzukic, a first-half goal from Nabil Ghilas was enough to hand Cordoba its first win of the season in a 1-0 triumph at Athletic Bilbao, while Sergi Darders 22nd-minute goal was enough to see Malaga slip past Deportivo, 1-0.
