Krasnaya Polyana, Russia (SportsNetwork.com) - Anton Kushnir

Krasnaya Polyana, Russia (SportsNetwork.com) - Anton Kushnir of Belarus won gold in the mens aerials Monday at the Sochi Games, claiming his countrys second straight Olympic title in the freestyle skiing event. Belarusian skier Alexei Grishin, who won gold four years ago in Vancouver, failed to even make it to the three-round final before his compatriot Kushnir made it two straight Olympic aerials titles for the country. Kushnir had the highest-scoring jump of the day in his third attempt of the final round. His gold-winning jump earned a score of 134.50 from the judges to easily outpace silver medalist David Morris of Australia. Grishins aerials win in 2010 marked the first-ever gold medal for Belarus at the Winter Games, but the country has earned five golds in Sochi. Darya Domracheva has claimed three gold in womens biathlon and Alla Tsuper took the Olympic title in the womens aerials. The finals began with 12 skiers before the field was whittled to eight after the first jump. Only four skiers make it to the third and final jump. Morris final jump earned a mark of 110.41 and Chinas Jia Zongyang was third with a score of 95.06. Jias countryman Qi Guangpu finished fourth. All three skiers to make the podium in Tuesdays event were first-time Olympic medalists. After earning the last of 12 spots for the finals, American skier Mac Bohonnon was the seventh of eight skiers to move into the second jump of the finals. He had a score of 105.21 to reach the final eight, but Bohonnon failed to qualify for the third jump. The 18-year-old was fifth in the second round with a score of 113.72, leaving him 1.33 points shy of the fourth berth in the last round. Bohonnon was the lone American in the field. Jeret Peterson, who claimed silver for the U.S. in Vancouver, tragically killed himself less than 18 months after competing in 2010. Travis Gerrits was the only representative for Canada and he finished in seventh place after Bohonnon and Oleksandr Abramenko of Ukraine.

The game can be heard on TSN Radio 1050 Toronto and TSN Radio 690 Montreal at 7pm et. The Maple Leafs have not claimed a victory as the visiting team since Oct. 30 in Calgary, going 0-3-3 away from Toronto since. That includes a pair of post-regulation setbacks on their current three-game swing as the Leafs dropped a shootout in Pittsburgh on Wednesday before getting dealt a 3-2 overtime defeat on Friday in Buffalo. James Reimer made 26 saves before getting beat by Christian Ehrhoff on a long wrist shot 38 seconds into the bonus frame. Phil Kessel scored the 199th goal of his career and Nikolai Kulemin also tallied. Toronto got off 10 shots in the third period and had a chance to go ahead late when James van Riemsdyk had a shorthanded breakaway with 30 seconds to play. However, Buffalos Matt DAgostini prevented van Riemsdyk from getting a shot off thanks to a diving backcheck, though van Riemsdyk was surprised nothing was called. "Usually when youre in all alone and you get your legs taken out from under you, you expect something, especially when the calls have been what they were," said van Riemsdyk of the play. "We cant use officiating as an excuse. Weve got to find ways to be better." Looking to snap their six-game road skid, the Maple Leaffs have won three straight and six of their past seven games in Montreal.ddddddddddddThat includes a season-opening 4-3 victory on Oct. 1. Reimer made 34 saves, but could give way tonight to Jonathan Bernier, who has lost both of his previous starts versus the Habs while allowing six goals on 60 shots. Montreal has lost four of its past six versus Toronto overall and had a four-game winning streak snapped last night with a 3-2 shootout setback to the Washington Capitals. Peter Budaj made 24 saves through overtime, but saw the Caps Mikhail Grabovski sneak a puck between his pads after faking a shot in the fourth round of the shootout. Tomas Plekanec, who scored and had an assist in regulation, then had his chance poke-checked away. Danny Briere also scored for the Canadiens, who are 6-1-2 in their last nine games. "I thought we were the team that dictated the game in the third (period). I thought we played well enough to win the game, so Im disappointed that we came up short, but I believe our effort was there and when you go to a shootout, you never know. We found a way to score two goals but it was not good enough," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. Carey Price should start tonight for the Habs and dipped below .500 in his career versus the Maple Leafs when he allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Oct. 1 loss. He is 11-12-1 lifetime in this series with a 2.69 goals against average and three shutouts. ' ' '
