MONTREAL -- The Buffalo Sabres found a way to erase four deficits and win without ever holding a lead. Mikhail Grigorenko scored in the shootout to give Buffalo a 5-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night in the first pre-season game for both teams. Grigorenko beat Zachary Fucale with a backhand on the Sabres second attempt in the tiebreaker. Buffalo, which never led in the game or overtime, erased four one-goal deficits in regulation. Colton Gillies drew the Sabres even at four when he backhanded his rebound past Fucale 15:36 into the third. Zemgus Girgensons had a pair in the second for Buffalo, including his second goal of the period to tie it at three at 11:51 on the first shot faced by Fucale. "I thought he was one of our best players tonight," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said. "He changed the momentum of the game with the short-handed goal and then getting the second goal that he had on the short side." Jamie McBain also scored for the Sabres, who killed five of Montreals six power-play opportunities. "I think we played really well as a team," Grigorenko said. "Our penalty killing was amazing and our goalies played really well." Matt Hackett denied Alex Galchenyuk, Martin Reway and Brendan Gallagher in the shootout. He stopped 7-of-8 shots in the game after replacing Enroth, who stopped 10 shots. Michael Bournival scored twice for Montreal. Linemate Michael McCarron got his second assist of the game when Martin St-Pierre scored 12:59 into the third to give the Canadiens their fourth one-goal lead. "St-Pierre is a player who has a good vision of the play," Bournival said. "Its fun to play with him and McCarron is a big guy who uses his size to create space on the ice." Erik Nystrom scored a power-play goal for Montreal, an unassisted effort 9:37 into the second on the last shot Enroth faced. Fucale, who stopped 11-of-13 shots, was drafted 36th overall in the second round by the Canadiens in June after winning the Memorial Cup with the Halifax Mooseheads. "No matter what happens in the first few minutes its important to keep working at it and give the team a chance," Fucale said. Montreal starter Peter Budaj made 10 saves. Buffalos Patrick Kaleta was given a double minor for roughing 10:41 into the third when he tried to pick a fight with Galchenyuk after the Montreal left wing flattened McBain with an open-ice hit. "I guess it was a pretty big hit and if our team was in that position I think someone would be coming over to protect the guy also," Galchenyuk said. Bournival put the Canadiens up 1-0 with his first goal of the game 15:18 in on a pass from McCarron, who was chosen 25th overall with Montreals first-round pick in the June draft. "It was tons of fun," McCarron said. "Each day Ive been here the play has gotten faster and faster and I had to adjust again today, and I adjusted pretty quickly. Our line is talking out there a lot and it made everything a lot easier on us." The Sabres erased deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 early in the second as the two teams combined for three goals in under three minutes. Girgensons scored a short-handed goal 58 seconds into the second to tie it at one before Bournival gave Montreal another one-goal lead with his second goal at the two-minute mark. McBain tied it at two at 3:52 with a shot from the slot into the top right corner after taking a centring pass from Steve Ott. Buffalos Cody McCormick had his second fighting major of the game 5:13 into the third, when he also drew a roughing minor for his bout with Canadiens defenceman Davis Drewiske. McCormick was given an instigating minor and a misconduct for his fight with Jarred Tinordi with 22 seconds left in the first. Montreals Lars Eller centred a line with sophomores Galchenyuk and Gallagher, the latter a finalist for the Calder Trophy last season. Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban and newcomer Daniel Briere were among the Canadiens who did not dress. Ryan Miller, Thomas Vanek and Cody Hodgson were among the Sabres who did not make the trip. nike Free 5.0 Black Friday . -- The Memphis Grizzlies signed Vince Carter on Saturday, looking to bolster their outside shooting with an eight-time All-Star who spent last season as a Dallas Mavericks reserve. nike Free Azzurre .

The ban also covers Uruguays next nine international games, which rules him out of next years Copa America.Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and the rest of the Dallas Cowboys head into Sundays game against the Colts leading the NFC East and on the verge of a playoff berth. A ton of the credit for that should go to head coach Jason Garretts assistants.Garretts the one thought to be on the hot seat entering the season. Hes the one who has owner Jerry Jones whisper in his ear on the sideline. And hes the one whos likely to receive plenty of praise from fans if the Cowboys do return to the post-season for the first time since 2009.Truth is, Garrett has become little more than a caretaker for Dallas (10-4). Its the folks working under him who are steering a team that was supposed to be an also-ran to respectability — and their contributions are about as underappreciated as it gets in todays NFL.I feel really good about where our co-ordinators are in running their different units and how our position coaches are coaching, Garrett said. Its my job to oversee it and create an environment for them where they can be successful.Last off-seasons shuffle is working.Coming off three consecutive 8-8 finishes, Dallas demoted defensive co-ordinator Monte Kiffin and removed Bill Callahan as play caller. Now Scott Linehan calls plays (something Garrett used to do), helping turn running back DeMarco Murray into a star.

Who has been the best backer on the field when hes been on the field?ARIZONAS HOME EDGE: That New England, Denver and Green Bay are unbeaten at home should surprise no one. That Arizona takes a 7-0 home mark into its showdown with Seattle on Sunday night? Now thats remarkable.DENVERS DEFENSIVE DUO: A lot of attention was paid when the Broncos added Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware and T.J. Ward. Less-known Chris Harris Jr. and Brandon Marshall (aka the other Brandon Marshall) have been a big part of Denvers success, even if fans arent racing to vote them into the Pro Bowl.REDSKINS CAPACITY FOR DYSFUNCTION: Seemingly boundless.OVERBLOWN:PATRIOTS DEMISE: That 41-14 loss at Kansas City in Week 4, the one that had folks wondering when Tom Brady would retire and whether Bill Belichicks magic was gone, sure seems long ago now, doesnt it?JOHNNY FOOTBALL: OK, its only one game, but Johnny Manziels NFL debut as a starting quarterback for the Browns was a doozy: 80 yards passing, two interceptions, three sacks, and zero points. Certainly not the stuff that justifies his hype. But he deserves time, of course.NEW COACHES: When Lovie Smith was introduced as Tampa Bays head coach, he averred, Its time for us to become a relevant team again. So much for the idea that a new coach can help things improve right away. The Bucs are 2-12; even worse, Ken Whisenhunts Titans are 2-13. Jay Grudens Redskins are 3-11 (see above).
