Quebec can win the National Hockey League playoff series with a victory at home on Tuesday night. Game 7, if necessary, will be in Montreal on Thursday night. Quebec was without sniper Michel Goulet, but Alain Lemieux, his replacement, scored a goal and added an assist. Brad Maxwell, Brent Ashton and Wilf Paiement scored the other goals for Quebec. Goulet, still suffering from bruised buttocks, did not dress. Larry Robinson scored the lone goal for the Canadiens, who played the third period without Steve Penney, their No. 1 goaltender. Penney was taken to hospital with muscle spasms in his back. Doug Soetaert saw his first playoff action of the season and yielded the final Quebec goal. Defenceman Chris Chelios returned to the Montreal lineup after sitting out Game 4 with a knee sprain, but played sparingly. The Canadiens frustration found a violent outlet in the third period when Chris Nilan jumped Quebec's Pat Price and was given a misconduct. Robinson and Maxwell traded first period goals on similar plays. The Canadiens defenceman capped a three-way passing play involving Rick Green and Bobby Smith by snapping a wrist shot beyond Gosselin's outstretched glove at 2:61 during a Montreal power play. Hunter was off for Quebec, serving a minor for roughing and major for fighting with Mario Tremblay at the time. Hunter jumped the Canadiens’ forward near the Quebec blue line after a faceoff. Initially, Tremblay covered up and waited for referee Bryan Lewis to blow his whistle. But Lewis didn't make a call until Tremblay regained his feet and seuffled with the Quebec centre. Tremblay seemed a target for body checks by Quebec forwards, particularly Paiement, whenever he was on the ice. After the Robinson goal, the Canadiens failed to Isles look to rebound capitalize on three first-period power-play opportunities. Gosselin-had a lot to do with this, making two or three tough saves. that he had been speared. There were fights, too. Smith and Paiement fought at 7:47 of the second period and 20 seconds later, Nilan, At 2:37, while held a t he closed his legs on a shot by Ryan Walter, set up on the edge of the crease by Mats Naslund. After a slow start, the Nordiques’ offence gradually took command. Maxwell tied it 1-1 at 11:14 of the first period when he took a drop pass from Peter Stastny and drilled a wrist shot that eluded Penney to the glove side. A Robinson gaffe early in the second period helped the iq gain more From the right-wing corner deep in his zone, Robinson passed the puck directly onto Hunter's stick and the Quebec centre cooly picked up a low corner to beat Penney at 2:25. The stick work that has sullied the series so far continued in the second period. Guy Carbonneau and Peter Stastny took turns jabbing at each other covertly. At one point, a frustrated Stastny raised his stick over his head like an axe. He didn’t strike Carbonneau, but gestured to Lewis I's enforcer, and Quebec defenceman Pat Price hada go. The roughhouse tactics did nothing to shake Quebec's grasp on the game, though. Quebec padded its lead with a pair of late second-period goals by Lemieux and Ashton as the Montreal defence softened. Lemieux, left unprotected in front of Penney during a Quebee power play, backhanded a shot past the Montreal goaltender at 16:19. At 18:37, Paul Gillis hustled up the left-wing boards past Mats Naslund and Craig Ludwig, then dropped a pass for Ashton, trailing. Ashton one-timed a shot past Penney. Soetaert relieved Penney at the start of the third period but it didn’t take Quebec long to beat him. Paiement snapped a pass from Lemieux past Soetaert at 2:06.

PANN \ MARWAN OLA, WN VANX NNN would have thought them crazy,” Marsh said after the Islander's 6-2 National Hoe- key League playoff victory Thursday. “That's a tough team, and a proud team. “Give them credit. They took it to us for 60 minutes. They're not going to go out easy.” The Islanders, after losing the first three games of the best-of-seven series, were in great Stanley Cup form with goals from veteran stars Mike Bossy, Bryan Trottier and Dennis Potvin. “We never really lost con- fidence in ourselves,” said Bossy, who assisted on two other goals Thursday. “We were looking for a confidence builder, and we got it. Now we have to see if we can build on it.” The 1975 Islanders and the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are the only teams to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. That ‘75 Islanders team almost did it twice, winning three in a row in the finals with Philadelphia be. fore losing the seventh game. In their five-game, first. round series with Washing ton, the Islanders lost the first two and won three straight. KEENAN CONFIDENT New York's comeback abil. ity is no doubt on the Flyers’ minds, but Philadelphia's rookie coach Mike Keenan didn't sound worried despite his Flyers’ lackluster effort Thursday = “We were out of syne, but that happens to hockey teams,” Keenan said. “I'm very confident “We have to win one game. They have to win three. Who has the psychological advan tage you're talking about?” If the Islanders have the comeback mystique on their side, the Flyers have some hard facts. The Flyers fin ished 27 points ahead of the Islanders in the regular sea son, have won six of the last seven meetings and 19 straight at the Spectrum. Islanders general manager Bill Torrey said miracles must be earned. “It's been cliched to death about winning each shift, then each period, then each game,” Torrey said. ‘But that’s all you can do.” Torrey sounded respectful of the Flyers. Looking at the way the Flyers have been playing. the kind of year they've had and the kind of team they've got, I don't think they're going to beat themselves. I really don't ” take THEY'RE OFF . . .

The three-kil IN SECOND PLACE Expos win fifth in row By The Associated Press Montreal Expos, who got off to a slow start this season, continued their winning ways Saturday. The Expos continued to rebound from their 2-4 start, defeating St. Louis Cardinals for their fifth straight victory and ninth in 10 games as Tim Wallach’s two-run single capped a four-run seventh inning and Andre Dawson homered and drove in five runs. Montreal's victory enabled the Expos to move past New York into second place in the National League East when the Mets lost to Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2. St. Louis’ John Tudor carried a 3-1 lead into the seventh against Montreal but singles by pinch hitter Mike Fitzgerald, Tim Raines, U.L. Washington and Dawson — the last one against Jeff Lahti — produced two runs and tied the score After Hubie Brooks’ infield hit loaded the bases, Wallach singled to right field that gave the Expos a 5-3 lead. Dawson added a three-run homer off Neil Allen in the eighth. Joe Hesketh, who scattered five hits, was the winner GIANTS 2 REDS 1 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Cincinnati's John Stuper pitched a two-hitter Saturday, his first complete game in the majors since 1983, as the Reds defeated San Francisco Giants 2-1 The Reds snapped a 1-1 tie off Dave LaPoint, 0-4, in the sixth inning of the National League baseball game on Dave Concepcion's leadoff double and one-out single by Dann Bilardello. Stuper, 3-1, faced only 28 batters, walking two and striking out six. The only San Francisco hits were a double by Chili Davis in the first inning and Scot Thompson's bunt single in the eighth The Reds opened the scoring in the first inning on a leadoff homer by Erie Davis, his third of the season. The Giants tied it in the bottom of the first when Dan Gladden led off with a walk and scored one out later on Davis’ double. PIRATES 3 METS 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates rallied for three runs in the eighth inning, one on an error by New York relief ace Jesse Oroseo and two on singles by Sixto Lezeano and Tony Pena, and stopped a three-game National League baseball losing streak by beating New York Mets 3-2. Mets starter Ed Lynch pitched a three-hit | shutout through seven innings when he was lifted for a pinch hitter. Orosco, 1-1, started the eighth by yielding a double to pinch-hitter George Hendrick. Pinch-hitter Jim Morrison walked and Bill Almon, Pittsburgh's third consecutive pinch hitter, bunted toward third. Orosco fielded the ball and threw it into left field as Hendrick scored. Morrison wound up on third and Almon took second on the play. Lezeano, the fourth straight pinch hitter, and Pena rapped consecutive singles to score the tying and lead runs.

Colderbonk LA Lakers whip Trail Blazers INGLEWOOD, CALIF. (AP) — Byron Scott scored 20 points Saturday after. noon, 12 as Los Angeles took command in the first half, and the Lakers whipped Portland Trail Blazers 125- 101 in the opening game of their National Basketball Association playoff series. The second game of the best-of-seven Western Con. ference semifinals will be played at the Lakers’ Forum on Tuesday night. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy and Mike Me Gee added 16 points each in Los Angeles’ well-balanced scoring attack. Rookie reserve Steve Col ter paced the Portland scor-. ing with 26 points, and Kiki Vandeweghe had 18. The Lakers, who swept their best-of-five playoffs opener against Phoenix Suns with three lopsided victories, hadn't played since last Tues day and appeared well-rest ed. The Trail Blazers had just one day off, locking up their series against Dallas Maver icks in four games with a vie tory Thursday night The Lakers played a super. lative first half to take con trol of the series opener against the Trail Blazers Worthy scored 14 points, Seott and Abdul-Jabbar 12 each, and Kurt Rambis 10 in the opening two quarters as Los Angeles rolled up a 73-45 halftime lead The Soviets closed out the preliminary round with a 5-1 win over Czechoslovakia to go unbeaten through seven games. The U.S., Canada and Czechoslovakia all finished at 4-2-1. The Americans took second by virtue of victories over the other two teams — 4-3 over Canada and 3-1 over the C; — in the preliminary draw. Canada got the nod over Czechoslovakia on goal difference in the tournament after the two clubs played to a 4-4 tie in the round robin. Sweden, with goals in Seturdeys gue from Tomas Sandstrom, Hakan Soddergren and -Erik Eklund, finished the round robin with a 2-5 mark and plays Finland, 2-3-2; West Germany, 1-5-1; and East Germany, 0-5-2, in the loser’s bracket to determine which of the bottom four teams drops to the B pool in 1986. Pat Riggen started in the Canadian goal but was replaced at the midway point by Steve Weeks. Riggins was the backup goalie for the tournament, to be used only in the event of injury to either Weeks or Rick Wamsley. It was learned after the game that Wamsley, who worked a 9-1 loss to then Soviets on Thursdays, had aggravated a back injury. With Riggen in uniform Wednesday, Wamsley won't be able to play for the remainder of the tournament Sandstrom opened the scoring at 6:49 of the first period, sliding the puck into an open net when Riggin vacated his crease. Mario Lemieux hit a Swedish goalpost with a shot about two minutes later. Then the Pittsburgh Penguin rookie gave Dineen a lead pass in a 2-on-1 break and Dineen redirected the puck past Swedish goalie Rolf Ridderwall at 17:50. Dineen made it 2-1 for Canada on a power play at 2:08 of the second period from a scramble in front of the Swedish net and Ridderwall sprawled in the crease. But the Swedes rebounded with two goals in a span of two minutes. Sodergren beat Riggin with a penalty shot after Czechoslovak referee Vladimir Subrt ruled Canadian defenceman Scott Steven had hauled the Swede down from behind Tanti lifted his stick to redirect a shot past Ridderwall in the 12th minute of the second period, but Subrt ruled the Canadian player's stick was over his shoulder. Several replays of the incident failed to support Subrt’s call. Yzerman finally tied the score at 3-3 on a power play at 19:12 of the middle period. The Detroit Red Wing speedster carried the puck down the right side. When no Swedish defender made a move to stop him, Yzerman cut in front of the Swedish net before sliding the puck into the goal. Notes: Forward Don Maloney and defenceman Grant Ledyard got into the lineup when John Anderson (elbow) and Jamie Macoun (charley horse) were given the day off to allow their hurts time to mend Veteran West German referee Joseph Kompalla was added to the world championship officiating staff, replacing American Mark Faucette, dismissed by the International Ice Hockey Federation's referee's committee for the duration of the tournament. Negotiations are in progress to have Faucette restored Washington Capitals defenceman Dave Shand has signed a $40,000 contract to play next year with Austrian champion Kagenfurt. Mario Lemieux came close to leaving Team Canada last weekend. Lemieux pulled a muscle in the tournament opener, was not used in the next two games and began to feel left out. A team source said a flight home was being discussed but Lemieux got back into the lineup and has been an integral part of the team since The Soviets have won 38 games, tied four and are unbeaten in world play since being upset in the ‘80 Olympics . . .
