BROSSARD, Que. - It is getting down to crunch time at the Montreal Canadiens camp.The Canadiens made five cuts on Thursday, including defencemen Greg Pateryn and Davis Drewiske, to reduce the training camp roster to 28 players.Forwards Sven Andrighetto, Jake Dowell and Gabriel Dumont were also sent to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs, who are holding training camp in St. Johns, N.L.Among those who escaped the cuts were forwards Christian Thomas, Jacob de la Rose and Jiri Sekac, defencemen Nathan Beaulieu, Jarred Tinordi, Darren Dietz and Francis Bouillon and goaltender Dustin Tokarski.Montreal also agreed to a one-year, two-way deal with former Carolina forward Drayson Bowman, who was invited to join the Canadiens camp on a professional tryout.The survivors are expected to see action in pre-season games against the Ottawa Senators on Friday and Saturday nights. Teams have until Tuesday to get down to the 23-man roster limit.It is likely that Beaulieu, who played in the post-season in the spring, will make the NHL club, but it may be between Tinordi and Bouillon for the job as the seventh defenceman on the depth chart.The six-foot-six Tinordi has had an up-and-down camp, but coach Michel Therrien said he likes his physical play. If he is sent down, the team can turn to returning veteran Bouillon, who was invited to camp on a tryout.In Francis case, its not an audition, said Therrien. We know exactly what weve got.After we make our evaluation of the young players, then well make a decision. We need to see if the young defencemen are ready to play in the NHL.Bouillon, who turns 39 on Oct. 17, looked relieved to still be in camp.I know Im in competition with the young guys, but the best I can do is show up on the ice and show that I can still play in this league, he said. The rest I have no control over.The big surprise was Dietz, a rushing defenceman who was limited to 34 games in Hamilton last season due to injuries. The Medicine Hat, Alta., native has been impressive in camp.I like his speed, said Therrien. Hes got poise with the puck.He can jump up in the play. Well give him another chance to see what hes got.The goal is to make the hockey team and nothing is accomplished yet, said Dietz.At forward, the speedy, five-foot-nine Thomas has made himself noticed in every pre-season game hes played.There should be a spot open on right wing, and the son of former NHL winger Steve Thomas has made a good case, although he is up against gifted six-foot-two newcomer Sekac, who looks to have the edge so far. The 19-year-old De la Rose appears to be a long shot to crack the lineup.Everyones goal here is to have a good camp and make the Canadiens and this just means Im a step closer, said Thomas. Hopefully I made a good impression with the staff and that it stays like that.Therrien said Pateryn needs to adjust to the pace of play in the NHL, while Drewiske simply needs playing time after missing most of last season with a shoulder injury.In goal, the Canadiens are still undecided on whether to keep Peter Budaj, the incumbent back-up to Carey Price, or Tokarski, who was chosen over Budaj to play when Price was injured in the Eastern Conference final.

The San Francisco kicker made up for it, to say the least, at the end of a wild 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday that clinched the NFCs No. 5 playoff seed. Now the 49ers take a six-game winning streak into their first-round game at Green Bay. "We would like to carry that momentum," said Anquan Boldin, who had a big game against his former team. "It felt like a playoff game. We came in here and won a tough game, so hopefully that will continue." The 49ers (12-4) led 17-0 after one quarter, but needed two field goals from Dawson in the final 1:45. The first one matched his career long of 56 yards, the second was a 40-yarder to win the game as time expired. "You live and learn on every kick, try to figure what I did wrong and apply that to future kicks," Dawson said. "I am glad it came down to the end to help our team win." The teams combined for 16 points in the final 3:20. After Dawsons 56-yarder put San Francisco up 20-17 with 1:45 to go, Jay Feely -- who had missed two earlier -- made a 43-yard field goal to tie it at 20 with 34 seconds left. That turned out to be plenty of time for the 49ers. LaMichael James 45-yard kickoff return and two quick completions by Colin Kaepernick set up Dawsons winner. "It doesnt matter how (we won)," San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said, "by any means necessary." The crucial completion to set up the winning field goal, a 29-yard sidelines throw, went to rookie Quinton Patton, who in a season slowed by injury had just one catch before Sunday. Arizona (10-6) rallied from a 17-0 first-quarter deficit to tie it on Carson Palmers 34-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts with 3:20 remaining. Boldin caught nine passes for 149 yards and a TD in his first game back since Arizona traded him to Baltimore after the 2009 season. To make the playoffs, the Cardinals needed to beat San Francisco and have New Orleans lose to Tampa Bay. Neither occurred, leaving Arizona, in its first year under coach Bruce Arians, to settle for just its third 10-win season since the franchise moved to the desert in 1988. "That comeback was as good as Ive been around against a very good ffootball team," Arians said.dddddddddddd "It just shows what theyve been through, their persevering and fighting for 60 minutes. The thing thats really bad about the NFL is how abruptly it ends. We were really hoping to be playing next weekend and obviously were not." Palmer, after a slow start, was 28 for 49 for 407 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. In the process, he became the first player in NFL history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season for three different teams. Larry Fitzgerald had six catches for 113 yards. San Franciscos NaVorro Bowman had an interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a sack in the 49ers ninth victory in the last 10 meetings with Arizona. Boldin did most of his damage in the first quarter, with six catches for 106 yards, including a 4-yarder for a touchdown and a 63-yard play to set up another TD. But that was it for the San Francisco offence until Dawsons late two kicks. Bowmans sack had put Arizona in third and 13 when Palmer lofted one to the end zone, where Roberts gathered it in just as he was sliding out of bounds on a slippery turf recently re-sodded for Wednesdays Fiesta Bowl. Kaepernicks 18-yard pass to Boldin helped set up Dawson 56-yarder, matching his longest, set in 2008. Palmer, though, connected on passes of 24 yards to Rob Housler and 23 yards to Fitzgerald to give Feely a chance for redemption, and the kick that tied it at 20. With the game seemingly headed for overtime, James raced from 5 yards deep in the end zone to the 49ers 40, then Kaepernick, in a play that started with just 18 seconds to play, completed a perfect pass to the untested Patton. "I liked the matchup and there was no safety on that side of the field," Kaepernick said. "I thought I would give him a chance. He has shown that he can go up and make those plays in practice. He came up with it and it was huge for us." Then, Dawsons final field goal ended it. Notes: The 49ers beat Green Bay 34-28 in San Francisco in the season opener ...
