(Sports Network) - More than five years after being traded away by the Canadiens, Mike Ribeiro finally returns to Montreal tonight with the Dallas Stars as the teams clash at the Bell Centre. Viewers in the Habs region can watch the game on TSN Canadiens beginning at 7:30pm et/8:30pm at. The game can also be heard live on TSN Radio 990 and TSN.ca/Montreal. Ironically, Ribeiro is playing his sixth season in Dallas but has not appeared in Montreal either due to scheduling or injuries. He was drafted by the Canadiens in the second round of the 1998 NHL Draft and played parts of six seasons with the team. The Stars last tasted victory in Montreal on Nov. 12, 2002, but Dallas has only made two trips to the City of Saints since that 4-2 win. The last encounter between these clubs at the Bell Centre was on Jan. 14, 2010, when the Habs recorded a 5-3 decision. Although Montreal has three wins in the last five matchups with Dallas, the Stars are 7-3 with three ties in the previous 13 meetings between these clubs. Centre Tomas Plekanec will not play due to illness. The Canadiens have lost three of their last four games and were dealt a 3-1 setback by the visiting New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Montreal native Martin Brodeur made 21 saves and Zach Parise, David Clarkson and Matt Taormina each lit the lamp for the Devils. Max Pacioretty tallied the lone goal for Montreal, bringing his career-high goal total to 25. Carey Price stopped 22-of-25 shots in the loss. "We cant let any shifts slide, but we did tonight and that was definitely the difference," Pacioretty said. "Maybe its just nerves that our season could be over before the playoffs, but its no excuse at all. In fact, it should give us more motivation to go out there and play 60 minutes hard as a team." Montreal enters tonight trailing the last playoff spot in the East by six points. Forward Louis Leblanc will playing tonight after missing Sundays game against the Devils due to illness. He skated on a line at practice with Lars Eller and Aaron Palushaj. Forward Erik Cole left Tuesday mornings skate early, but it was by design. He just wanted to get a quick skate in after the Monday off-day. The Canadiens have lost their last three home games and are just 11-13-8 as the host this season. After tonights game, Montreal will head out on a three-game road trip. Dallas has lost five of its last six games (1-3-2) and that swoon has not helped boost the clubs playoff chances. The Stars are currently three points out of a postseason berth in the Western Conference and seven points behind San Jose for the Pacific Division lead. The Stars dropped a second straight test Sunday against Nashville. Colin Wilson scored the eventual game-winning goal for the Predators late in the second period of the 3-2 victory. Michael Ryder and Alex Goligoski lit the lamp for Dallas, and Kari Lehtonen gave up three goals on 21 shots. "We had our chances," Goligoski said. "But I think the most disappointing thing is that we gave them most of their chances. I think one goal they really beat us, but the others were just mental mistakes." Dallas forward Jamie Benn has missed the last two games after sustaining a cut to his left leg against Calgary last Thursday. Benn, who is second on the team with 49 points this season, is expected to sit out a third straight game tonight. Stars defenseman Sheldon Souray has missed the last six games with a foot injury and is questionable for tonight. The Stars have lost their last three road games and are just 13-14-2 as the visiting club this season. Dallas will complete a brief two-game swing Thursday evening in Chicago.

The NFL has been trying to prevent such blows over the past four years, targeting improper technique and making a point to penalize and fine players for hits that leave them and their opponents vulnerable. Yet an Associated Press review of penalties through the first 11 weeks of the season found those hits are still prevalent. The AP reviewed 549 penalties, 491 of which fell under the category of major infractions: unnecessary roughness, unsportsmanlike conduct, roughing the passer, face masks and roughing the quarterback. Of the penalties charted over the first 162 games of the season, the AP identified 156 involving contact with the head and neck â an average of .962 per game. Of those, 38 were for head-wrenching face masks, 25 were for horse collars and 93 were for hits to the head. Quarterbacks (40) and receivers (38) shared the brunt of those hits almost equally, with players at other positions absorbing the other 15 blows. The numbers can be interpreted a variety of ways. The league declined comment, though it made a statement of sorts in the off-season when it decided against the 5 per cent hike in minimum fines, as allowed for in the union contract, after determining players were adjusting to the rules. A sentiment among the players the AP spoke to on offence was that they appreciate all the NFL has done to protect them. But, in the words of Titans running back Chris Johnson, they know that "sometimes you just cant control where you hit somebody." Defensive players acknowledged they have to do their part to make the game safer. "The face mask, thats going to happen. The pass interference, those things are going to happen. The stupid fouls, hitting the quarterbacks late and doing all the other stuff weve done, we have to eliminate it," said Titans safety Bernard Pollard, who has been fined $62,000 this season. But the defenders also reiterated a long-held belief that theyre held to a different standard than their offensive counterparts. "No doubt," Packers cornerback Tramon Williams said. "Guys are still getting penalized for clean shots, getting fined for clean shots, and theres no other explanation to it. Just like theyre holding us accountable for trying to make that right hit, theyve got to hold themselves accountable for making the right calls on the field, and making the right decision on who to fine and how much to fine." True to the defenders complaints, the AP review tallied 224 major infractions against the defence, with only 69 going against the offence. Similarly, penalties for low hits, which many thought would rise when defenders were forced to focus away from the head and neck, were relatively low â only 35. That small number included illegal cuts, chop and peelback blocks against the offence for hits on defenders â penalties the defensive players argue are called far too rarely and put their careers at as much risk as the above-the-shoulder hits. "Thhe way offences are playing now and the way running backs block now, I think its almost every play," Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said when asked how often a defensive players legs get targeted.dddddddddddd New England tight end Rob Gronkowskis season ended abruptly Sunday with a knee injury when he took a low hit from Cleveland safety T.J. Ward. No penalty was called. Ward said he knows he cant go for the high hit. "But we have to play this game," Ward said. "We have to play it the way that they force us to, and unfortunately, it incurred an injury for him." Of the 35 penalties for low hits, 10 came against the defence for hits to the quarterbacks. The leagues propensity for protecting the passer continues at almost every spot on the field. Over the first 11 weeks, there were 32 flags for infractions against quarterbacks that didnt involve hits to the head or legs â for example, a late hit on a sliding quarterback. The NFL still makes a big splash out of suspensions and fines levied under the umbrella of protecting players. Ndamukong Suh, a multiple offender, got a $100,000 fine â largest in league history for on-field conduct â for his Week 2 low block on John Sullivan of the Vikings during an interception return. More recently, Titans safety Michael Griffin served a one-game suspension for a low hit on Oakland tight end Mychal Rivera. When asked what he could have done differently, Griffin said a league official "told me theres no clear black-and-white answer." "You have to start thinking about how youre going to hit the guy when you get there," Titans coach Mike Munchak said. "I think its very, very hard, very difficult. It definitely is necessary. I think it has helped the game in that way. But I think youve got to be careful in how these guys are fined and things like that going forward." Whatever the mixed messages, the NFL appears satisfied with the way players are adjusting to the rules, given the leagues decision not to raise fine amounts. Total fines issued by the NFL have declined by 32 per cent from 2009 to 2012 (668 to 451) and also decreased 4.5 per cent between 2011 and 2012 (472 to 451). Fines for illegal hits on quarterbacks have declined 46.4 per cent since 2009 (114 to 61). All of which points to a safer game â but a game that nevertheless, at least on average, puts at least one player in jeopardy in every game in every stadium every Thursday, Sunday and Monday. "Its a warrior game," said Broncos defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson, on injured reserve after suffering a dislocated hip on a play in which four players took turns blocking him, both high and low. "Youre going to have collisions. Youre going to have those injuries. You just try to do the best you can with them and play within the rules they set." ___ AP Sports Writers Genaro Armas in Green Bay, Wisc., Teresa Walker in Nashville, Tenn., Tom Withers in Cleveland, Joe Kay in Cincinnati and Joseph White in Washington contributed to this report.
