Paris, France (SportsNetwork.com) - Paris Saint-Germain will aim to get back to winning ways on Saturday when the defending champions host Montpellier at the Parc des Princes. The capital club had been on a fantastic run of form, having not lost a match in any competition through a 2-1 win over Nantes on Dec. 6. But the club then suffered its first defeat of the season with a 3-1 setback against Barcelona. The loss meant little to Les Parisiens as they had already clinched a spot in the round of 16, but then the club followed up the defeat with a loss to surging Guingamp on the road the following week. PSG fell behind against Guingamp after just 11 minutes when Jeremy Pied fired home off a nice assist from Younousse Sankhare to put the home side in front. PSG failed to find an equalizer and fell to its first defeat of the league season to remain one point behind leaders Marseille with 37 points. Against Guingamp we lacked the necessary team spirit to hope to get a good result. Like against Lille we gave far too much away to our opponents, especially defensively, said PSG head coach Laurent Blanc. If we want to go a long way and reach the very ambitious goals that the club has set, we need to improve in this department. The entire squad needs to be focused and determined, if you want to avoid conceding goals. PSG were also drawn against Premier League side Chelsea in the last 16 of the Champions League, which will provide a significant challenge as the Blues knocked PSG out of the tournament last season in the quarterfinals. In finishing second in the group, we had very little chance of being drawn against an average side. We will know after these two matches whether or not its a good draw, Blanc continued. One things for sure: Chelsea are a great team. We havent forgotten the quarter-final tie last year. Chelsea have been strengthened with new players this year. It will be a great tie. We have time to prepare, but we will be up against a very good side. Montpellier, meanwhile, will try to extend its unbeaten run in league play to three following a 3-3 draw against Lens last time out. Morgan Sanson and Lucas Barrios scored in the opening 16 minutes to spot Montpellier a 2-0 lead, but Pierrick Valdivia and Baptiste Guillaume netted for Lens to equalize in the 34th minute. Anthony Mounier scored to hand Montpellier a 3-2 lead in the 63rd minute, but they failed to hold the lead as Yoann Touzghar netted the equalizer 10 minutes from time to force the clubs to share the points. Also in Ligue 1 on Saturday, Caen hosts Bastia at the Stade Michel dOrnano, while Lorient welcomes Nantes to the Stade du Moustoir. Metz hosts Monaco at the Stade Municipal, while Rennes battles Reims. Saturdays final fixture sees surging Guingamp travel to the Stade Municipal de Toulouse to face Toulouse looking for a sixth straight win across all competitions. On Sunday, Marseille hopes to bounce back from a loss to Monaco with three points against Lille, while Saint Etienne welcomes Evian to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Finally on Sunday, Bordeaux welcomes Lyon to the Stade Chaban-Delmas looking to snap a two-match slide across all competitions. Fridays Ligue 1 action saw Wylan Cyprien and Adamo Coulibaly score to lift Lens to a 2-0 win over Nice.

Cecis second-period goal stood up as the winner as the Ottawa Senators downed the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 before a disappointed crowd of more than 50,000 people Sunday in the NHL Heritage Classic. "It means a lot," said Ceci, a 20-year-old Ottawa native. "These are points that we need right now going down the stretch, and it means a lot to me. Im just trying to earn my spot here." The Senators (27-23-11) posted their first win in three games and kept pace in the race for the eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. The Canucks (28-25-10) suffered their ninth loss in 10 games and remained on the bubble in their quest for eighth in the Western Conference. Ceci put the Senators ahead 3-2 midway through the second. The defenceman moved up, took a pass from Jason Spezza, and fired home a shot from right wing on a three-on-two rush. He helped the Sens make a classic comeback as they produced four unanswered goals after trailing 2-0 in the first five minutes. The score was tied 2-2 after the first period before Ceci decided the outcome in the second and Greening closed out the scoring in the third. "I think it was huge that we tied the game before going into the intermission," said Ceci. "That was big for us, just because weve had it tough lately before the (Olympic) break and the game right after it." The Senators bounced back from a humiliating 6-1 home loss to Detroit on Thursday in their first game after the Olympic break. Ceci went minus-2 in the loss. "Its great to be young," said Senators coach Paul MacLean. "They have short memories." Both of Cecis goals this season have been game-winners. He led the Sens to a win over St. Louis in mid-December. Clarke MacArthur, Erik Karlsson and Colin Greening, into an empty net with 1:33 left in the game, also scored for Ottawa. Jason Garrison and Zack Kassian scored for the Canucks before Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson shut them out the rest of the game. Anderson, who appeared to have little difficulty playing in a stadium venue with different lighting than a traditional arena, posted his 20th win of the season, recording 29 saves as Vancouver outshot the Sens 31-28. MacLean praised Anderson for making difficult saves look easy, but the goaltenders calm demeanour between the pipes defied how he actually felt at the outset of the game. "It was one of those things where you have the butterflies going and the nerves going," he said. "Everythings just a little bit different than your usual normal routine. a Its a big win for us and its a great venue and its one of those things that well be smiling about for while, because its kind of a once-in-a-lifetime experience." Canucks goalie Eddie Lack, who appeared to be fighting the puck at times and gave up more rebounds than usual, suffered the loss as he drew his third consecutive start following the NHLs Olympic break. Nominal No. 1 Roberto Luongo watched from the bench while sportingg a toque and replica vintage pads and gloves.dddddddddddd Vancouver coach John Tortorella spent much of his post-game news conference talking about his goaltending decision rather than Vancouvers continued scoring struggles, which were made worse by Daniel Sedins departure due to injury in the second period. "Before this game, the way Eddie was playing, I thought (he) was our best chance to get these two points," said Tortorella. Fans chanted for Luongo during the game but Tortorella, who said he didnt notice the crowd activities, stuck with Lack. The coach said Luongo was angry about the decision, but believes the veteran goaltender will use the sit-down as motivation. "I thought (Lack) looked not himself, but he made some big saves, too," said Tortorella. "Im sure hed like to have that third one back." The game was designed as a tribute to the 1915 Stanley Cup final series between the eventual-champion Vancouver Millionaires and Ottawa Senators. The Canucks wore maroon and cream-coloured replica Millionaires jerseys while the Senators sported duds similar to those of their predecessors. Coaches wore varsity-styled jackets rather than their usual suits. "It was a pretty cool setting, just to have that many people watch the game, and it was loud all game long," said Ceci. "We were in Vancouver, but there was a lot of Ottawa fans, so its good to see fans come out all that way." The NHLs outdoor series was forced to go indoors as the B.C. Place Stadium roof was closed due to rain. The weather teased Vancouver and Ottawa players who had hoped the roof would remain open. "I was glad (organizers) had the option to close it, because it probably would have ruined the game if it was raining out," said Spezza. "The ice got bad as it was with it closed." While the main goal was to get two points, Spezza enjoyed playing the role of spoiler before the large crowd. "There was so much hype around the game and so much talk about it," he said. "Its nice to get the win. It makes it more enjoyable for everybody, our families included. We dont have to tippy-toe around tonight." Spezza, who provided a nifty backhand pass on Cecis winning goal, hopes the win is also the start of Ottawas march to the playoffs. "We had a tough one against Detroit," he said. "It was a very important game, and we knew that we needed this one." Tortorella felt the loss of Daniel Sedin, who was hurt in a collision with Ottawa defenceman Marc Methot affected his team offensively because lines had to be juggled. His twin brother Henrik was less than pleased with the outcome. "Thats a game we should have won," he said.
