MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact will have to find their legs and make the most of a short turnaround. Frank Mason III Jersey . After a midweek loss at Real Salt Lake, the last-place Impact will be on just two days rest when they welcome the Portland Timbers to Saputo Stadium on Sunday, Montreals third game in eight days. Listen to the Impact vs. Timbers live on TSN Radio 690 Montreal today at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Impact are coming off a fourth consecutive defeat -- their longest losing streak in a single Major League Soccer season -- after conceding two second-half goals to RSL forward Olmes Garcia en route to a 3-1 loss. Last Saturday, the Impact squandered an early lead, giving up two second-half strikes from distance in a 2-1 defeat against the Columbus Crew. "Obviously, weve got to assess how our guys are feeling" said Impact manager Frank Klopas after Thursdays loss in Utah. "We had to play on the west coast, and then we have to play Sunday at home against a team thats just waiting and resting. Its about getting guys in the right moment. Right now the mentality is going to be to do whatever we have to do to get a result." The Impact (3-11-5) played with just 10 men for the final half hour on Thursday after midfielder Issey Nakajima-Farran was shown a straight red card in the 65th minute for a studs-up challenge deemed too dangerous by referee Drew Fischer. Nakajima-Farran will miss the game versus Portland as a result of the suspension. The Timbers have won three of their last five MLS road games. Sitting seventh in the Western Conference and just three points out of a playoff spot, Portland (5-6-9) will be looking to build on last weeks 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids, which ended the Timbers four-game winless run. "That really felt like a good step in the right direction," Timbers midfielder and Canadian international Will Johnson told the teams website on Friday. "Its just a good opportunity for us to continue momentum. I like our road form right now. I like how we feel. Weve gone to really tough stadia and gotten good results." Montreal and Portland have faced off just twice since the Impact joined MLS in 2012. The Timbers lost on both occasions -- 2-0 on the road at Olympic Stadium in 2012, and 2-1 at Providence Park in 2013. After Sunday, the teams will not meet again this season. "Were excited for the challenge," said defender Michael Harrington from Portland on Friday. "If we can rattle off two wins in a row, it will be great for the team morale. It will be a test. They have some good players, some tricky players up top that well have to deal with in the back." Johnson added that the Timbers will have to respect Montreal, despite its record. "We have to be careful," added Johnson, whose team has 24 points from 20 games this season. "Weve had a few good wins this year and we felt that we could really get on a run, and we havent taken advantage of that. The guys know that its time. There are no more second chances. The table is getting tight. Every game from here on in is very important, and every point is valuable." Montreal, which has been at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings since April. 5., has yet to beat a Western Conference opponent this season (0-5-1). The Impact have scored an MLS-low 19 goals this year, and have not found the back of the net more than once in a game since June 29. The team is tied for the fewest wins this season, and their minus-15 goal differential is second worst in MLS behind only the Houston Dynamo. The Timbers, meanwhile, are tied for third in the league with 32 goals, and have scored 11 times on the road. Argentinian forward Maximiliano Urruti, who leads the Timbers with eight goals this season, will be looking to score in back-to-back contests for just the second time this year. Portland is also known for getting off to a fast start, having scored a league-high six goals in the opening 15 minutes of games. "Were playing another good team that has a lot of quality in the final third," said Klopas, who has yet to beat the Timbers in three opportunities as a head coach (0-2-1). "They are a good possession team. But right now, its about doing whatever its going to take to get a result, and that kind of mentality." After starting the game against Real Salt Lake on the bench, striker Jack McInerney could be back in the starting lineup on Sunday. McInerney has not scored in his last four games. Goalkeeper Troy Perkins, who played 51 games with the Timbers between 2011 and 2012, could also be back in the starting 11 after backup keeper Evan Bush conceded a total five goals in consecutive losses. Perkins was acquired by the Impact in 2012 in exchange for Donovan Ricketts.

Wieters had asked for $8.75 million and the Orioles had offered $6.NASHVILLE -- Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne cant wait to test himself in a game. The Predators, who announced Wednesday that they are sending Rinne to their AHL affiliate in Milwaukee, are cautiously waiting to see if the two-time Vezina Trophy finalist can help them chase down a playoff berth. Both Rinne and the team will have a better idea of where he is after the conditioning assignment for games Friday and likely Sunday in this latest step in his recovery from an E. coli infection in his surgically repaired left hip. Rinne has been limited to only nine games this season. Coach Barry Trotz said the Predators will be monitoring Rinne after each practice and game. "Hes at a point where weve got to find out where he is game-wise and also body and mind," Trotz said of Rinne. The Predators start a five-game home stand Thursday night hosting Tampa Bay just four points back of the Western Conferences eighth and final playoff spot with 23 games remaining. They missed the playoffs last year for only the second time in nine seasons. How quickly Rinne rejoins them depends on how he fares in Milwaukee. Rinne practiced with the Predators on Wednesday before travelling to Milwaukee, and he called this a big day with doctors giving him the green light for the latest step in his long recovery. He has been sidelined since Oct. 24 for an infection in the hip surgically repaired May 9, and Rinne said hes focusing on getting his game back and help the Predators. "So far I feel really comfortable," Rinne said. "Im happy how things have gone in practice and how things have gone so far. I think Im actually a little bit surprised its been going so well. But like I said, its still a process but for sure I feel like Im really close to game shape andd now its just a final couple of games before I jump on the ice with the Nashville team. Nikola Mirotic Jersey. " Rinne, 31, is sixth in the NHL with 152 wins since the 2008-09 season and has 30 shutouts since 2008-09, which leads all goalies during that time. He hasnt played since Oct. 22 in a 2-0 loss at Minnesota. He is 4-4-1 with a 2.31 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. The Predators have played four other goalies this season trying to make up for Rinnes absence. Currently, Carter Hutton is their starter, and he is 13-9-4 with a .904 save percentage and 2.87 goals-against average. Trotz said what theyve been missing without Rinne is a game-changer who can mean the difference in as many as 20 points in the standings each season. "Hes an elite goaltender and steals games maybe when you dont deserve it," Trotz said. "He can steal points." Trotz said theyre not sure what theyll see from Rinne. "Its not about Pekka coming back and being a saviour," Trotz said. "I think its Pekka coming back and adding to our mix. And if he can get his game to the level close to what hes capable of, were a better hockey team plain and simple. To me, its about Pekka for hopefully the next five or six years. Hes a difference maker." Captain Shea Weber, who practiced with the Predators on Wednesday after helping Canada win the Olympic gold medal Sunday in Sochi, said the Predators are definitely excited about the prospect of Rinne returning to the lineup as they try to chase down a playoff spot. "Weve been through a lot this year and to see what position we put ourselves in here four points out coming in its not going to be easy by any means," Weber said. "If anyone can do it, we can." ' ' '
