(SportsNetwork.com) - The Florida Panthers will aim for their first three-game winning streak of the season when they welcome the Montreal Canadiens for Tuesdays battle at BB&T Center. The Panthers are 2-0 so far on a four-game homestand that is set to end tomorrow night against the New York Rangers. However, its been over a year since Florida last won three in a row during a five-game run from Dec. 10-19 of last season. After posting a shootout win over Pittsburgh on Dec. 22, the Panthers emerged from the Christmas break with Sundays 6-4 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sundays victory was Floridas fourth in five games and the club is 5-1-1 over its last seven outings. The Panthers, who are two points out of a playoff spot in the East, also have won four straight on home ice and are 9-4-2 in Sunrise this season. The Panthers used a ferocious third-period comeback to down the Maple Leafs on Sunday. Toronto held a 4-2 edge after 40 minutes of play, but Florida responded with four unanswered goals in the final period. Brad Boyes redirected in Dmitry Kulikovs wrister from the point on a power play for the go-ahead goal with 3:15 remaining. That tally made it a 5-4 game and Scottie Upshall would later add an empty-net score to arrive at the final margin. Kulikov and Willie Mitchell also scored in the third for the Panthers, while Roberto Luongo picked up the win with 18 saves. I thought we played a real good game, said Panthers coach Gerard Gallant. Florida will try for another strong effort against a Montreal team that won its third straight game on Monday night. The Canadiens visited the Carolina Hurricanes and notched a 3-1 victory behind a 28-save effort from Carey Price. Lars Eller and Jiri Sekac both scored in the second period for the Canadiens, while Max Pacioretty added an empty-net goal to help Montreal secure its sixth win in seven games. Price only allowed a power-play goal to Eric Staal early in the third period. He made 12 saves in the final stanza. We didnt play a good third period, but we were able to hold on, Price said. Dustin Tokarski could give Price a rest tonight. Montreals backup has never started against Florida, but did face the Panthers once in a relief appearance. Montreal is second in the Atlantic Division, but has a chance to take over the top spot from the idle Tampa Bay Lightning. The Habs are two points behind Tampa, but a win would give them possession of first place as a result of holding the tiebreaker. Tonights tilt marks the first of five meetings this season between the Habs and Panthers. Montreal has claimed two straight and five of the last seven encounters overall and also have won three of the past four meetings in South Florida. The Canadiens are 10-7-1 as the road team after beginning a five-game swing with consecutive wins. Jahlani Tavai Lions Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- Clippers guard Jamal Crawford will be named the NBAs Sixth Man of the Year for the second time in his career, a league official with knowledge of the award said. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the league hasnt announced the award. Crawford was the Clippers third-leading scorer and the NBAs top-scoring reserve with 18.6 points per game. He added 3.2 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game for the two-time Pacific Division champions. "Hes deserving of it," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "I dont know that theres a more lethal weapon in the league that you could bring off the bench." While starting just 24 of his 69 games this season, the shifty veteran guard had his highest scoring average since the 2009-10 season with Atlanta, where he won his first Sixth Man award. Crawford is the Clippers top perimeter threat, setting a franchise record with 161 3-pointers while making at least one 3-pointer in 63 games. The 6-foot-5 guard also finished ninth in the NBA by making 86.6 per cent of his free throws. Rivers believes Crawford will win the award for his all-around game, not just his shooting acumen. "Hes done this in the past, over the past couple years, where hes been so good offensively,"; Rivers said.dddddddddddd "But I actually think he won it because I think voters saw him doing other things for the team -- playing defence, running the team at the point guard position when Chris Paul was out at times. Hes been the perfect utility player for a team. Hes been awesome." The 34-year-old Crawford has spent 14 NBA seasons with six teams, including lengthy stints with the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks. Although he once scored 52 points in a game and averaged more than 20 points per game during a season in New York, Crawford has carved out a career as a dependable rotation member with the Clippers for the last two years, delivering steady bench scoring and veteran leadership. Crawford likely would have received the award Tuesday night before the Clippers fifth playoff game against the Golden State Warriors, but the trouble surrounding Clippers owner Donald Sterling prevented it. Los Angeles leads the series 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Oakland on Thursday night. The Clippers are one win away from just their
