BALTIMORE -- Tuesdays night game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles was postponed by rain. A steady downpour and low temperatures were predicted for much of the night. No makeup date was immediately announced, although it was determined that the game will not be part of a doubleheader on Wednesday. Baltimore won the opener of what was to be a three-game set 7-1 Monday, and the series will conclude Wednesday afternoon. The Rays were looking to break out of an offensive skid in which they scored only 14 runs in eight games. Tampa Bay announced Tuesday that left-hander Matt Moore will be miss the rest of the season after opting to undergo elbow-ligament replacement surgery. It was a significant blow for a team that already has starters Jeremy Hellickson (elbow) and Alex Cobb (oblique) on the 15-day disabled list. Moore had never missed time before, and Maddon knew it would be tough on the left-hander. "Emotionally its got to be very difficult for him right now," the manager said. "Its going to be hard to ask him to be patient as he goes through the process, but we have great medical people here." Tampa Bays pitching problems extended beyond that. Brandon Gomes was slated to start Tuesday night in place of Jake Odorizzi, who was sent back to the team hotel Monday with an illness. Odorizzi will pitch Wednesday, Maddon said. The Orioles, meanwhile, were preparing to play without centre fielder Adam Jones, who was sent home with flu-like symptoms. Reliever Evan Meek was sent home with the same bug. Last week, reliever Brian Matusz went to the hospital after falling ill, and third base coach Bobby Dickerson left the team for the same reason. "Its not just in our locker room," manager Buck Showalter said. "Unfortunately, medically, a lot of it is unavoidable other than dont touch or communicate with anybody all day. Thats pretty hard to do in our sport. Id like to say I havent seen it before, but I have. I just hope it runs its course."

The Canadiens will welcome back captain Brian Gionta for the game after the captains one-game absence for personal reasons. In other Habs roster notes, Daniel Briere will likely drop to the fourth line after practicing there on Monday.

After downing the Oilers on Thursday, Montreal recorded its second straight 4-1 win Saturday against the Canucks. Max Pacioretty started the scoring early in the first period for the Canadiens, who will open a five-game homestand when they play their next game this Thursday against Columbus. Lars Eller tallied his fifth goal of the season, while Tomas Plekanec and Josh Gorges also lit the lamp for the Canadiens. Carey Price turned aside 39 shots for Montreal. "We played an excellent third period, our special teams played really well, we blocked a ton of shots...it was a complete effort by everybody," Price said. Ellers game-winning goal was an odd one to say the least. Vancouver defenseman Dan Hamhuis misplayed the puck behind the net and it went on to bounce off botth of Roberto Luongos skates and into the net.ddddddddddddEller was the only Montreal player close to the net and he was credited with a short-handed goal that gave the Habs a 2-1 lead. While Montreal attempts to end its current road trip on a positive note, the Jets hope to keep heading in the right direction on the clubs current six- game road trip. Winnipeg lost its third straight regulation game in the opener of this homestand, a 4-1 setback against Dallas on Friday, but rebounded with Sundays 3-0 victory over the winless New Jersey Devils. Al Montoya turned aside all 24 shots he faced in his season debut, backstopping the Jets to their first win since the second game of the season. Ondrej Pavelec started the first five games of the season before getting a breather on Sunday. Despite Montoyas strong showing on Monday, Pavelec expects to get the start tonight. Evander Kane scored two goals on Sunday for Winnipeg, while Michael Frolik added a pair of assists. "I take it upon myself to be one of the leaders in this room and on the ice," Kane said. "Whatever area I feel I need to lead in, whatever the situation is in the game I want to do that and I try to do that as much as I can." After Tuesdays tilt, the Jets will close this homestand with games against St. Louis, Nashville and Washington. The Canadiens have won five straight and eight of the last nine meetings with the Jets franchise. Montreal also has taken two of three in Winnipeg since the Jets relocated from Atlanta and the Habs have won three of the past four road meetings in this series overall. ' ' '
