A night after reaching the top of the Eastern Conference, the Pittsburgh Penguins will be back on the ice trying to avoid handing that status to the streaking Montreal Canadiens. If the result is anything like its been between the two teams over the last four seasons, the Penguins wont have to worry about being passed by the visiting Canadiens tonight. The Penguins (24-9-5) joined the New York Islanders at the top of the East with Fridays 6-3 win over Tampa Bay as Steve Downie announced his return with two goals after missing five games with the mumps. Downie has nine points in seven games, while Sidney Crosby broke out with four assists after a 12-game stretch during which he had five points. Chris Kunitz scored for a second straight game, and Evgeni Malkins goal and assist snapped a three-game streak without a point. We have guys coming back slowly and I think that gave us a boost, Crosby said. As we get guys back, hopefully we can feed off that and continue to play the right way. More forward help could come against the Canadiens (25-11-2), who have won five straight and eight of nine while limiting opponents to 12 goals. David Perron could debut for the Penguins after being acquired Friday for Rob Klinkhammer and a 2015 first-round pick. Perron had career highs in goals (28) and points (57) a season ago but has failed to continue at that pace this season with five goals and 19 points in 38 games. At the stage Im at in my career, I think the first few years youre just happy to be in the league and to get more ice time and more opportunities. After a few years you just want to win, Perron told the leagues official website. Obviously its not going to happen this year in Edmonton. Its nice to get an opportunity in Pittsburgh and to have that kind of trust they did to acquire me. Should Carey Price be in goal, Perron might have to wait on his first goal with his new team. Price made 22 saves in Fridays 4-2 win in New Jersey, the 200th of his career, to help put Montreal in a position to complete a perfect five-game road trip and match its best winning streak of the season. The Canadiens are a point back of the Penguins and Islanders. Price has won four straight starts and hasnt allowed more than two goals in a game over a 7-1-0 span during which he has a 1.38 goals-against average and .952 save percentage. Its a lot of fun to be able to accomplish that tonight, Price said of win No. 200. There have been ups and downs along the way, but to finally get this means a lot. The organization will do a nice job and put the puck on a plaque. Its just fun right now to come to the rink, and play with these guys. Its been a very different story against Pittsburgh. Price has a 4.20 GAA over a 1-4-1 span. That includes the Penguins 4-0 win in Montreal on Nov. 18 as Pittsburgh improved to 8-1-2 in the series with 3.91 goals per game since the start of the 2011-12 season. Montreal backup Dustin Tokarski has never faced the Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury will start for Pittsburgh after getting the night off against Tampa Bay. Fleury had a 1.25 GAA in eight home starts in December, and he made 27 saves in the November shutout of the Canadiens to improve to 7-1-2 in his past 10 starts in the series.

New Yorks game against the Pittsburgh Pirates that was scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Friday was postponed six hours before game time due a forecast of inclement weather throughout the night. The game will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader Sunday with the opener starting at 1:05 p.m. Only tickets for Sundays game will be honoured. Its the first one-ticket doubleheader hosted by the Yankees since Sept. 29, 2004, against Minnesota, according to STATS. Pittsburghs Edinson Volquez (1-3) was scheduled to face New Yorks David Phelps (0-0) Friday night in the Pirates first game at the newest version of Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009. Phelps will now start Saturday and Hiroki Kuroda will be given an extra day of rest. He and Vidal Nuno will start in the doubleheader, the order still to be determined. This is the third postponement for each team this season. The rain gives Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki an extra day of rest. He has not played since Sunday, when he hurt his back attempting a catch in Milwaukee. Once healthy, Suzuki should see more playing time because Carlos Beltran was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a bone spur in his right elbow. "Im getting better but not to the point where Im capable of swinging the bat 100 per cent," Beltran said Thursday. The Yankees (21-19) are coming off back-to-back shutouts of the crosstown rival Mets with Masahiro Tanaka winning 4-0 Wednesday, his first complete game in the major leagues. A night later, rookie Chase Whitley pitched two-hit ball for 4 2-3 innings of a 1-0 win that gave the New York a split of the four-game Subway Seriess.dddddddddddd Whitley made his major league debut in place of ace CC Sabathia, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a right knee injury. Phelps was scheduled to make his third start since replacing Michael Pineda in the rotation. Phelps first joined the rotation when Pineda was suspended 10 days for having pine tar on his neck in a game at Boston. The right-hander remained in the starting five when Pineda injured a muscle in his upper back pitching a simulated game April 29, during his ban. Phelps gave up four runs and eight hits over five-plus innings Sunday, when the Yankees lost 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth at Milwaukee. The Pirates (17-23) come to New York after a 4-3, walkoff loss Thursday, also at the Brewers. Former Yankees reliever Mark Melancon blew the save filling in for injured closer Jason Grilli. The Pirates have not won in New York since the start of interleague play, losing three in a row in 2005 and 07. They took one of three in Pittsburgh in 2008. Pirates catchers Chris Stewart and Russell Martin both played for the Yankees, and theyve seen how the new ballpark can be hitter friendly for batters swinging from the left side. "Every stadium kind of has their pros and cons, and thats definitely one of them for left-handers, and some right-handers like to go the other way," Stewart told MLB.com. "Ive seen popups over there that have sailed out." That could bode well for slugging third baseman Pedro Alvarez, who grew up in the Bronx and has eight homers. The ballpark also suits Ike Davis well. The first baseman will be returning to the city where he played his entire career for the Mets in Queens until being traded to Pittsburgh on April 18. ' ' '
