Risebrough suffered a broken nose in a third-period fight with Boston’s Terry O’Reilly and, if the Canadiens turn their 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven National Hockey league semi-final series into a berth in the final, he will miss at least the start of the Stanley Cup showdown. The sixth game against the Bruins will be played Tuesday night at Boston. "Steve was rushing their defencemen all the time and they had to throw the puck around the boards,” said right winger Guy Lafleur, who was reunited with Shutt, coming off a layoff with a charley horse, and centre Jacques Lemaire. The linemates attacked with familiar verve, firing a total of 12 shots on goal, and Lafleur scored Montreal’s first two goals 25 seconds apart, the first with an assist from Shutt. “We had more chances with Steve tonight, and he had some great shots on the net. too,” said Lafleur. ‘it’s nice to see him back.” I^arry Robinson followed Lafleur with the Canadiens’ third goal of the first period, and Serge Savard and Mario Tremblay added third-period scores against Bruins goal-tender Gilles Gilbert. Wayne Cashman got the Boston goal against Ken Dryden on a power play with 1:28 left in the game. ‘‘I think he has a little bit more confidence,” said Shutt in assessing the effect of his return on Lafleur. “He knows he’s going to get the puck so he starts skating through holes. Once he starts skating, everybody starLs skating. “Our line tried to really forecheck their defence, and I think it worked, because we stole the puck on them in there a lot more than we did in any of the other games.” Savard suggested Shutt would have been a help in the third and fourth games of the series which the Bruins won. “I think he’s the type of player who could have made a big difference in the two games in Boston, because he’s got so much speed on the outside,” Savard said. “He’s a strong skater and he gets open and he can shoot RANGERS LEAD GOING HOME the puck well. When you’re 6nly one shot away from a game down there, it’s got to make a difference.” pruins coach Don Cherry, meanwhile, claimed to have been abandoned even by his most faithful friend and adviser, his pet bull terrier. Blue. "Now I’m really on my own Blue doesn’t even talk to me," Cherry said of the dog he credits with convincing him to start Gilbert in the games in Boston, thereby sparking the Bruins. "I don’t know what ticked her off. I guess everything, else I do ticks everybody else off, so Blue's even mad at me now.”, Cherry said he’d expected the Canadiens to be fired up for the fifth game on home ice^ “They played brutal in the’first two games here and lucked out, and how they’ve come and played a real super game. So now we’ve got to go back (to Boston) and we’ll be ready.” If a seventh game is necessary, it will be played here Thursday night. 1 *Allf* 5U'*!11 * ; Canopies Tool Boxes CUSTOM BUILT Parkridge Shopping Centre 964-7096 Mets’ catcher John Stearns uses a wrestling hold toprevent Giants’ Billy North from scoring in n Sunday game. EXPOS STILL WINNING Yanks' Guidry tough in relief by Associated Press New York Yankees had a Cy Young Award winner in their bullpen last season, and now — although Sparky Lyle has long since been traded — baseball’s World Series champions have filled that spot ably with lefthander Ron Guidry. Guidry made his second relief appear-. ance of the season Sunday. He came on • in the seventh inning of the Yankees’ game against Oakland A’s, pitched out of a jam, and ended up with his third victory of the year when Jim Spencer’s lOth-inning single gave New York a 6-5 triumph. Guidry relieved against Chicago on April 15 and picked up a save. On Sunday, he allowed two singles, struck out five and walked two after coming in with the game tied, and a runner oq third and one out. The skinny hurler, 25-3 as a starter last season, volunteered Saturday to pitch in relief until bullpen ace Rich Gos-sage - recovering from thumb surgery — is able to return. After coming into the tense situation, Guidry struck out Miguel Dilone and got Larry Murray on a pop-up to end the threat. He didn’t allow a runner past first base the rest of tEe way. Sixth-inning homers by Lou Piniella and Cliff Johnson had given New York a 5-4 lead, but the A’s tied it before Guidry came on. In other American League games, Baltimore Orioles blanked California Angels 2-0 behind the two-hit pitching of right-hander Dennis Martinez, Seattle Mariners edged Boston Red Sox 3-2, Minnesota Twins tripped Detroit Tigers 9-6, Milwaukee Brewers beat Toronto Blue Jays 4-0 and Cleveland Indians rallied for a 5-4 victory over Kansas City Royals.

Martinez had a no-hitter going until California’s Don Baylor opened the seventh with a single. Rod Carew got the Angels' other hit with two out in the ninth as the Orioles won their 15th game in their last 16 starts. Home runs by Eddie Murray and Gary Roenicke supported Martinez. ' Willie Horton’s fourth single qf the game drove in the tie-breaking run in the ninth-inning, giving Seattle its victory over Boston. Fred Lynn cracked his 11th homer of the year for the Red Sox. Roy Smalley’s three-run homer in the eighth inning powered Minnesota past Detroit. Twins reliever Mike Marshall, 5-1 with nine saves, has had a hand in 14 of Minnesota’s 18 victories this season. Milwaukee’s Lary Sorensen gave up just four hits and got home run backing from Robin Yount as the Brewers beat Toronto. Rick Manning drew a bases-loaded walk to cap the five-run ninth inning that carried Cleveland over Kansas City. Left-hander Ken Kravec blanked Texas on three hits as Chicago White Sox dumped the Rangers 3-0 in an AL night game. Wayne Nordhagen doubled home a run in the sixth off Rangers starter Jon Matlack, then scored on a mis-played fly ball to left fielder Billy Sample. Kravec, 1-3, struck out five and walked none. Yankees’ Lou Piniella show* his displeasure after second against Oakland. Piniella was the second being tagged out in a rundown between first and victim of u double play, but the Yanks still won 8-5. Islanders back in big hole UNIONDALE N.Y. (CP) -As he sipped a beer, Chubby Cheeks shouted at Clark Kent, who was rubbing ointment on a skin rash that came out of the blue. “Clark Kent alias Super Moves," said Don Murdoch to Phil Esposito in the Rangers’ dressing room after Saturday’s 4-3 victory over the Islanders in the Stanley Cup playoffs. “He’s mad at me because I call him Chubby Cheeks,” Esposito said, laughing. The Rangers were dog-tired after the frantic fifth game ended with Anders Hedberg’s backhand goal with 2:13 remaining. Yet, it was a fun atmosphere for them as the unexpected dividends were about to be cashed. The two New York teams move their best-of-seven National Hockey League semifinal series to Madison Square Garden for the sixth game on Tuesday night. The Rangers hold the upper hand, leading 3-2. Another victory will advance them to the final against the winner of the Montreal-Boston series, also 3-2 in favor of the Canadiens. “I think the toughest game will be on Tuesday if the series can get any tougher,” said Esposito. “You know, they’re playing for their lives.” The Islanders are shocked and depressed and coach A1 Arbour was openly critical of the way his best line — Bryan Trottier, Clark Gillies and Mike Bossy »- has been handcuffed around the net mainly because of the Rangers’ forechecking. In the five games, the line has just two points - a goal by Trottier and an assist by Gillies. “You can’t count us out yet,” Arbour said. “We have eight forwards who are working and we have some others who aren’t. We’re not getting anything from that (Trottier) line at all.” Trottier, the league’s leading scorer in the regular season with 134 points, was a picture of despair in the Islanders’ dressing room. “We’re not making any breaks,” he said. "We’re not handling the puck like we can. It’s nothing you can dwell on. You have to work it out.” Don Maloney scored the first Ranger goal and had'an assist to bring his playoff-leading total to seven goals and 11 assists for 18 points. Esposito has six goals and is tied with Montreal’s Guy Lafleur for second place, each with 16 points. Murdoch has five goals. “We had two bad shifts against the Trottier line at the beginning and we were worrying about them,” Esposito said. “And I told Maloney and Murdoch, ‘Hey, just go out and play our game, and we’re going to check them anyway.”’ As far as series go, Esposito said he’s never been involved in such a good one except for Team Canada’s match-up against the Russians in 1972. ‘.‘These are fantastic games,” he said. But there’s hardly been a picture goal from both sides. “That’s characteristic of the whole series - the aftier.ti&m capitalizing on the other’s mistakes,” said Islanders’ defenceman Gerry Hart. Lome Henning. Mike Kas- zycki and Bobby Nystrom each scored as the Islanders rallied three times to tie the score. Lucien DeBlois and Ron Greschner got the other Bangers goals. The victory was the ninth in 12 playoffs games for goalie John Davidson of the Rangers, who faced 28 shots. Billy Smith of the Islanders, loser for the first time in four playoffs starts, stopped 26 of 30.

But then I would be pressing in a game,” The Bullets were kept in the game early by centre Wes Unseld, who controlled the boards by pulling down 22 rebounds, including 10 offensive ones. He also was the Bullets’ high scorer with 26 points, missing the first shot he took and then making the next 12 in a row. Larry Kenon was the high scdFef for San Antonio while' George Gervin, who had 34 in the series opener, got, 22 and James Silas, with 28 Friday night, made only 14 Sunday.

In the first game of the series, the SuperSonics out-rebounded the Suns, 56-45, and coasted to a 108-93 victory. In the second, the Suns’ offence improved but Seattle took a 59-38 edge in rebounding and a 103-96 victory. “You can only give them one shot,” said Seattle coach Lenny Wilkins, whose SuperSonics are the defending conference champions. “You ’ t'afn’t alldW 'a team two or three shots, and that hurt us."
