TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays are taking it slowly with ailing closer Casey Janssen. The 32-year-old right-hander has been dealing with a strain in his lower back and abdominal muscle. He was officially placed on the disabled list March 30 but has been essentially hampered by the injury since spring training. Manager John Gibbon said Janssen is going to throw a bullpen session "very soon." "Hes feeling better but something is still nagging him a little bit," Gibbons said before Friday nights game against the Boston Red Sox. Janssen will likely throw at least two bullpen sessions before another rehab assignment in the minors. "I dont see him back here in the next couple of weeks, to be honest with you," said Gibbons. The manager said while there has been no physical setback, Janssen is still not feeling 100 per cent. "Theres still something there thats holding him back a little bit," Gibbons said. "Psychologically he doesnt feel quite ready to cut loose because something is just nagging at him there, in his oblique." Janssen has seen action in just three games this season, working three innings with a 3.00 earned-run average. The hard-throwing reliever has already had one rehab assignment in the minors cut short after being told to take more time off. Sergio Santos has been operating as the Jays closer in Janssens absence, converting five-of-six save opportunities heading into play Friday.

The Sabres are seeded ninth in the East and are just two points behind idle Washington for the conferences eighth and final postseason berth. After a rough first half, Buffalo has done a great job of coming together for the stretch run as Lindy Ruffs club has earned 24 of a possible 32 points over its last 16 games (10-2-4). The Sabres dropped consecutive shootout decisions last week before breaking out of the slump with Mondays 7-3 rout of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Canadiens, meanwhile, have been all but mathematically eliminated from the postseason, but theyve played competitive hockey lately. Montreal has lost three of its last four games, but has earned at least a point in each of its last six contests, going 3-0-3 over that stretch. Buffalo is 4-0-1 against the Canadiens this season and the Sabres have taken seven of eight overall in this series.

The controversial hit came in Buffalos 3-2 overtime win over the Habs on March 12 and Gomez is still sidelined with concussion-like symptoms. "[Myers] knows it was a cheap shot -- he got suspended," Montreal forward Brad Staubitz told his teams official website. "Well pay attention to it but we also have to pay attention to winning the game. We cant get sidetracked." After losing a shootout decision against the Panthers on Saturday, the Sabres earned a split in their trip to Florida with a lopsided win in Tampa.

Ryan Miller made 24 saves for Buffalo. Cody Hodgson also added two assists to the win, giving him his first points as a Sabre after coming over from Vancouver in a trade on Feb. 27. "Its always nice to contribute offensively on the scoresheet," Hodgson said. "I thought our line played well; I thought all four lines contributed and played big parts in the win." Buffalo will alternate home and away games over until closing the regular season with consecutive road tilts. The Sabres are 18-11-8 at home this year and 16-18-2 as the guest. Montreal has been off since losing in a shootout Saturday against the visiting New York Islanders. Josh Bailey scored the game-winning goal in the sixth round of the shootout, lifting the Islanders to the 3-2 win at Bell Centre. After Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov shot the puck wide in the top half of the sixth round, Bailey came down the ice with speed on his attempt and buried a wrister past the stick side of Peter Budaj for the winner. Aaron Palushaj and Louis LeBlanc lit the lamp in regulation for the Canadiens, while Budaj stopped 36-of-38 shots in defeat. "They were throwing a lot of pucks on net, which can either be good or bad for a goalie," Budaj said. "We have a handful of games left and we want to win as many as we can, and Ill try to do what I can when Im called upon to help the team." Regular No. 1 netminder Carey Price will get the start tonight and is 9-7-6 with a 2.00 goals-against average in 22 career games against Buffalo. Montreal has lost six of its last eight road games and is 15-17-4 away from the Bell Centre this season. ' ' '
