CHICAGO -- Gio Gonzalez delivered another dominant performance, providing more evidence he is finally healthy again. Custom Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys . It looks as if the shoulder problem that sidelined him for a month bothered the left-hander about as much as the opposing hitters. Gonzalez pitched two-hit ball over seven innings, and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 Saturday in the first game of a day-night doubleheader. Gonzalez had his way with one of the weakest lineups in the majors in his third start back from the disabled list, outperforming Dallas Beeler in the rightys major league debut. "Obviously coming (off) the DL and trying to work your way back is going to be a process," Gonzalez said. "Its not going to happen overnight. Its good to see little by little using fastball and changeup at the same time. Its good to know when you need them theyll be there." Anthony Rendon had three hits, including a two-out double against Beeler in the sixth before scoring the games first run on a wild pitch. He added an RBI triple off Justin Grimm and came home on a sacrifice fly by Adam LaRoche against Wesley Wright in a two-run eighth. Denard Span chipped in with two hits and scored a run. He also made a leaping catch in front of the centre-field wall after getting turned around on a drive by Justin Ruggiano in the fourth, and the Nationals snapped a three-game losing streak. Gonzalez (5-4) had little trouble against a team that came in with the majors second-worst batting average. He struck out seven and walked two while improving 2-0 in three starts after missing a month because of inflammation in his pitching shoulder. He shut down Chicago after throwing six effective innings in a 3-0 win at Milwaukee on Monday. Tyler Clippard worked the eighth and Rafael Soriano finished for his 19th save in 21 chances. As for Beeler, he was about as good as Gonzalez. Called up from Triple-A Iowa as the 26th man, he pitched four-hit ball while allowing an unearned run in six innings. "I was a lot calmer than what I thought Id be," he said. "I walked out there, took a deep breath, threw my warmup pitches, kind of looked around again, exhaled and I was like, All right, same game Ive been playing for the last 20 years." Beeler also singled in his first at-bat when he lined the first pitch he saw up the middle in the third, drawing big cheers from the crowd. Neither team got an extra-base hit until Rendon doubled to left in the sixth. He moved up on a passed ball by John Baker before Ryan Zimmerman walked, and he scored the games first run when Beeler bounced a changeup to LaRoche. Otherwise, it was quite a debut for the rookie. "He was commanding his pitches," Rendon said. "Sinker and cutter and a pretty good curveball out there." NOTES: The Nationals remain optimistic that OF Bryce Harper will return from a torn ligament in his left thumb early in the week, if not Monday. The 2012 NL Rookie of the Year, who was injured sliding head first into third in a game against San Diego in April, has been rehabbing in the minors. "Hes progressing really well," manager Matt Williams said. "I feel good at some point this coming week (he will return), Monday is a possibility." ...

His Chicago Blackhawks teammates werent shocked when he found it.

Both teams will try to bounce back Thursday night in Montreal, where St. Louis has won six of seven. You can listen to the action on TSN Radio 690 Montreal starting at 6pm et/3pm pt. The Canadiens (14-5-1) outscored opponents 23-7 during a six-game winning streak before falling 4-0 to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Montreal went 0 for 3 on the power play and Carey Price stopped just 18 shots in his worst display of the season. The Canadiens have been outscored 28-5 in their defeats. After winning six straight games, I think the Pittsburgh game was a reality check, forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau told the teams official website. We made a few mental mistakes and missed out on some details. We didnt skate as well as we have in other games. The forecheck was the key to our success in the games that wed won. We were lacking in those departments. We need to get back to that for the Blues. St. Louis (12-5-1) had won three in row and 10 of 11 before opening a four-game road trip with Tuesdays 2-0 loss to Boston. The Blues outshot the Bruins 33-17 - including 15-3 over the final 20 minutes - but couldnt get anything past Tuukka Rask. We make our own luck, we have to put more in to get more out, forward David Backes told the leagues official website. We are not going to make excuses, we need to bring a little bit more to earn those spaces to get to loose pucks and find a way to whack a few in. Although the Blues were held in check Tuesday, Montreal is expeecting to get their best shot. William Jackson Jersey. St. Louis is allowing an NHL-low 1.89 goals per contest. Theyre a team that skates a lot, and they have a lot of talent in that group. They have excellent defensemen. Theyre a complete team, so well have to be ready. Its a big test for us, Parenteau said. When you get blanked like St. Louis did, you rebound. Thats the way things work in this league. Im expecting a very competitive game. The Canadiens have had their hands full with the Blues over the years. St. Louis has taken five straight in the series by an 18-7 margin and is 10-2-1 since 2000, including 6-1-0 in Montreal. Alexander Steen scored twice in a 5-1 victory Dec. 19, giving him four goals and an assist over a three-game stretch against the Canadiens. Montreal will also need to be wary of emerging star Vladimir Tarasenko, who leads the Blues with 21 points despite coming up empty in back-to-back games. Max Pacioretty has notched a team-high 16 points for Montreal, 13 of which have come at home. Hes one of 10 Canadiens with at least eight points. Thats going to be key here, Montreal forward Dale Weise said. The only way you can stay a top team in this league is with consistent scoring from everybody. Price is 8-3-0 with a 2.45 goals-against average at home. Hes compiled a 3.31 GAA while starting each of Montreals last five games against St. Louis. The Blues are expected to turn to Jake Allen for his first appearance in the series. The second-year goalie, 5-1-0 with a league-leading 1.67 GAA, has allowed one goal total in winning two road starts.
