JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Blaine Gabbert is back under centre for the winless Jacksonville Jaguars. Gabbert, who missed the last two games after slicing open the back of his throwing hand, will start Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. "We feel good about him going into this week," coach Gus Bradley said Monday. Gabbert needed 15 stitches to close the wound, which he opened when his hand got caught on a defenders facemask late in the season opener against Kansas City. He had the final few stitches removed before Sundays 45-17 loss at Seattle. The former Missouri standout, the 10th overall pick in the 2011 draft, has missed 10 of the teams last 13 games. He missed the final six games last season because of a right forearm injury. He also had a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. He sat out two preseason games because of a broken right thumb. And then he gashed his hand in the opener and missed two games on the West Coast. So Gabbert has been mostly a sideline spectator for Jacksonville. But Bradley wasted little time switching back to Gabbert from Chad Henne, who has one touchdown pass and two interceptions off the bench. "Hopefully, he picked up where he left off in preseason," Bradley said. "I think this has been good for Blaine, to go through the game process, the game-planning process, to go through all the meetings, and be in there with Chad and maybe see a different side of it. I think thats been good for Blaine." Gabbert completed 16 of 35 passes for 121 yards, with two interceptions, against the Chiefs. He was sacked six times in the 28-2 loss, the worst opener in franchise history. The Jaguars believe he has more upside than Henne and wants to use the season to evaluate whether he can develop into a franchise quarterback. "He has some special talent," Bradley said. "We really like his traits. Hes 6-5, 250 pounds, runs a 4.5. He does some things well in the movement. He makes some mistakes in the decision making. ... Maybe we have to simplify it and allow (him) to play with more freedom." Bradley also said Gabbert tries too hard to please everyone around him -- maybe to a fault. "When you do that, you might not take as many risks because he doesnt want to let anybody down," Bradley said. "I think we have to change his mind-set to say, Its OK, dont worry about us, well be fine. The way you please us is to go out there and let loose and take some risks and to do those things and play with some more freedom. I think thats what weve got to develop with Blaine."

Michael Hutchinson will start his second straight game in goal.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to record their longest winning streak in a month when they welcome the sliding Carolina Hurricanes for Tuesdays clash at the Bell Centre. Montreal has won its last two games to record its first set of consecutive wins since beating St. Louis and Boston on Nov. 20 and 22, respectively. The Canadiens havent won three in a row since a season-high six-game tear from Nov. 5-16. The Habs should be well rested for tonight, having been idle since routing the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings on Friday night. The Canadiens posted a 6-2 victory over the visiting Kings to go 2-0 at the start of a five-game homestand. Montreal slammed the Kings on the scoreboard, but were outshot by a wide 46-20 margin in the game. Habs goaltender Carey Price, who will start again tonight, stopped 44 shots to lead his club to victory. Jiri Sekac provided two goals for Montreal, while P.K. Subban notched a goal and two assists. Andrei Markov and David Desharnais added a goal and a helper to the winning cause. Price is 10-5-2 with a 2.35 goals against average in 17 career games against the Hurricanes, a team that enters Tuesday having lost five straight in regulation. That marks Carolinas longest stretch of regulation losses this season, and its the clubs second-worst overall skid of the campaign behind the season-opening 0-6-2 stretch. Tonights maatchup figures to offer little chance at relief, as the Hurricanes have lost five of six and 10 of their last 14 games against Montreal.ddddddddddddThe Canes have dropped three in a row and six of seven at the Bell Centre. Carolina has managed to score only once in each of its setbacks during this 0-5 stretch, getting outscored by a combined 14-5 margin along the way. The most lopsided loss of the skid came the last time out, as the Canes were pounded 5-1 in Philadelphia on Saturday. The Hurricanes allowed the Flyers to take a 1-0 lead just 53 seconds into the game and Philly would build that lead to 5-1 by the middle part of the second period. Anton Khudobin allowed all five goals on just 23 shots, while Eric Staal scored Carolinas lone goal at 2:06 of the second period. Weve got to compete, be better defensively, manage the puck, move the puck better and that will give us a better chance, Carolina head coach Bill Peters said. The Hurricanes, who fell to 3-11-2 as the guest, will try to salvage the finale of a three-game road trip tonight. Carolina has lost five of its last six away games. Cam Ward is expected to return to his starting role between the pipes for Carolina tonight. The veteran is 15-8-3 with a 2.75 GAA in 26 career outings against the Habs. Carolina forward Jiri Tlusty missed Saturdays test with an upper-body injury and he is questionable for tonight. ' ' '
