MONTREAL -- Lars Eller was sure the puck was over the line. Manuel Rodriguez Jersey . With the score tied 1-1 early in the third period, Eller thought he gave the Canadiens the lead when his shot from a tight angle seemingly trickled under a sprawling Pekka Rinnes arm. Instead, the goal was disallowed, and the Nashville Predators went on to beat the Canadiens 2-1 on Saturday night at the Bell Centre. "The puck was inside," said Eller. "(Rinne) had his glove on it, so technically you couldnt see it was inside. But if its not outside the line, its got to be inside. Its logic." The decision on the ice confirmed Ellers suspicion, that the puck had crossed the line. But the referees, with the help of video replay, overturned the initial call. "In my mind, I know the puck was inside," said Eller. The Canadiens went on to dominate the third period, but wouldnt find the back of the net again. Nashvilles Seth Jones would, though, as he scored the eventual winner. Rookie defenceman Jones, whos already turning heads this early in his career, was selected fourth overall in the 2013 entry draft by the Predators. He now has four points on the season. "Weve been very fortunate," said Predator head coach Barry Trotz. "We really got a special player in Seth Jones. We saw what he can do. He played big minutes tonight, scored the winning goal. Hes earning his own stripes." Jones goal tarnished a solid performance by Carey Price, who made 35 saves in the loss. Price has never beaten Nashville in his career. "Price was big for us," said right-winger Brendan Gallagher, the Canadiens lone goal scorer. "We had a chance to win it late. But the only reason that was, was because he was so good early." Nashville captain Shea Weber opened the scoring with the man advantage at 12:31 of the first period. His cross-crease pass bounced off Montreal defenseman Josh Gorges and deflected past a helpless Price. Gallagher made it 1-1 at 7:02 of the second, finishing up a scramble in front of the net by lobbing the puck over Rinne. After Ellers disallowed goal, Jones walked into the Montreal zone, dangled the puck Gorges with a nifty move, and fired home his second goal of the season at 18:33 of the final period. "On the winning goal, it was bad coverage -- pretty simple," said Montreal head coach Michel Therrien. Rinne made 28 saves for the win. The loss put an end to the Canadiens four-game win streak. Montreal also lost forward Daniel Briere, who suffered a concussion after a second period hit by Nashvilles Eric Nystrom. Briere has a history of concussions, sustaining one in March, and another in January of last year. "I think it was an accident," Therrien said. "The two players ran into each other. I dont think the Nashville player was targeting his head." Brandon Prust also left the game with an upper-body injury. Before the game, Habs assigned defenseman Nathan Beaulieu to Hamilton.

It centred around the Los Angeles Clippers and owner Donald Sterling. The NBA is investigating a report of an audio recording in which a man identified as Sterling tells his girlfriend not to bring black people to games. "Guys more than anything are saying, Something has to addressed, something has to be said," said Raptors forward Steve Novak, who spent two seasons (2008-10) with the Clippers. The league said it is in the process of authenticating the validity of the recording posted on TMZs website. In the recording, the man questions his girlfriends association with minorities. TMZ reported the woman, V. Stiviano, who is of black and Mexican descent, posted a picture of herself with Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson on Instagram -- which has since been removed. "Theres definitely not a place for it in the NBA, in this game," Novak said. "What makes it so strange is hes been an NBA owner for that many years (33), hes not someone who isnt associated with African Americans, someone whos benefited that much from African Americans. . . theyve been such a positive part of his life. "Sometimes theres very successful people who arent very good people," Novak added about the American business magnate. The man in the recording asked Stiviano not to broadcast her association with black people or bring black people to games. He specifically mentioned Magic Johnson on the recording, saying "dont bring him to my games, OK?" "I will never go to a Clippers game again as long as Donald Sterling is the owner," Johnson responded on Twitter. He also said the alleged comments are "a black eye for the NBA" and felt bad that friends such as Clippers coach Doc Rivers and point-guard Chris Paul had to work for Sterling. "I dont blame him. I wouldnt either," DeMar DeRozan said of Johnsons decision to boycott games. DeRozan, who grew up in Compton just south of downtown Los Angeles, said he felt for the Clippers players, who lead their Western Conference playoff series against Golden State 2-1. "Honestly, especially right now in the playoffs, theyre trying to win their series so its going to be interesting to see (how the players handle the situation),&quuot; DeRozan said. Rod Beck Jersey. Landry Fields added: "Right now theyre kind of in a tough position. Theres still playoffs to be played. But it is sad that now this has become an issue rather than Clipper basketball." DeRozan was asked if he could play for an owner like Sterling. "I dont know man, I dont know. I dont know," the all-star said with a shake of his head. "Me personally, I dont stand for nothing like that. It would be tough, itd be tough." Added Raptors coach Dwane Casey: "If its true, its a sad commentary on our society . . . on our society as a whole, being an African American myself." Novak said the allegations are no surprise, players have known about previous discrimination cases against Sterling. He said the NBA must take action. "I think its personal to each and every guy," Novak said. "More than anything I dont think the league can sit back and say it didnt happen, if it did. "Theres no way that should be tolerated. I dont think in any workplace in the world you can speak that way about anybody, and in our league especially." New NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a press conference before the Grizzlies playoff game in Memphis that the audio is "disturbing and offensive." "All members of the NBA family should be afforded due process and a fair opportunity to present their side of any controversy, which is why Im not yet prepared to discuss any potential sanctions against Donald Sterling," Silver said. "We will, however, move extraordinarily quickly in our investigation." Novak added its a huge black eye to the NBA ownership group. "The owners in the NBA are such an impressive group of people," he said. "Look at all the owners and what theyve done, and all the good things that they do, and so for something like that to come out, to be grouped as an NBA owner type-thing is unfortunate." Sterling has been involved in several lawsuits over the years. Novak played for the Clippers when the owner was sued by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2009. Sterling agreed to pay US$2.73 million to settle allegations by the government that he refused to rent apartments to Hispanics and blacks and to families with children. Sterling is the longest-tenured owner in the NBA since Lakers owner Jerry Buss died last year. ' ' '
