multi-point game, along with Phillip Danault

Theres a Yorkshire derby live on Sky Sports this Thursday as two unbeaten sides go head to head at the KC Stadium. Daryl Powells Castleford Tigers travel up the M62 to face a Hull FC side whove won their opening two games.Here are three key battles that could decide the outcome: Fetuli Talanoa v Denny Solomona Hull FCs Fetuli Talanoa Watch out for the two No 5s, who are in top form. Its three tries from two games for FCs Fetuli Talanoa, including two in their stunning win over the Catalans in France, while Denny Solomona has the same record for the Tigers so far. Castlefords Denny Solomona was influential against Wakefield Despite a disrupted pre-season due to injury, former Rabbitoh Talanoa has started 2016 with a bang, and as well as his three tries, he was also the top metre-maker in Super League after two rounds. Hes formed an exciting left edge with Carlos Tuimavave, the new centre from the Newcastle Knights; Talanoas power combines well with the skills of Tuimavave.Add Frank Pritchards strong running from the second row into the mix on that side and theres plenty of potential for scoring opportunities down the left flank for Lee Radfords team. Castleford Tigers Solomona But also watch out for Castlefords No 5 Solomona. Hes got an eye for the spectacular and he was at it again against Wakefield, flying past Reece Lyne for another sensational score. That was one of two tries he scored in Castlefords first win of the season and he also crossed in the draw against Hull KR.It will be interesting to see how many chances Solomona gets without injured skipper Michael Shenton playing inside him, but on the evidence of that Wakefield game, Jake Webster is capable of providing him with the ammunition. Talanoa v Solomona 28 Age 22 3 Tries 3 35 Carries 20 7 Clean breaks 6 335 Metres made 272 Two totally different wingers then, but both in fine scoring form so far. Look out for their finishing abilities on Thursday night. Marc Sneyd v Luke GaleTheres an interesting match-up at scrum half as Marc Sneyd comes up against his former Tigers team-mates and also the man who replaced him in Daryl Powells side, Luke Gale. But while Gale lit up Super League in 2015 and forced his way into the England set-up, Sneyd had a slightly slower start in the Black and White. Hull FCs Mark Sneyd He did top the assist chart with 20, but all the talk from the Hull camp is that theres still more to come from Sneyd in 2016, and he certainly dazzled in that win over Catalans with two magical plays highlighting his ability.One kick from dummy half set up Gareth Ellis and there was a neat cut-out pass in the build up to Fetuli Talanoas second try; both perfect examples of what Hull FC need from their half-back if theyre to challenge for trophies.With 12 attacking kicks already this season, nine more than any of his teammates, Sneyds kicking game will be vital alongside the experience and vision of Leon Pryce at stand-off. Castelford Tigers Luke Gale Castleford know all about Sneyd though. He did star in their fourth-placed finishing side of 2014 while on loan from Salford, but Luke Gale signed from Bradford to replace him in 2015 and the Tigers fans would tell you they got an upgrade - 27 try assists last season saw Gale force his way into Steve McNamaras England squad and he was unlucky not to win a first cap in the series win over New Zealand.So will he catch the eye of Wayne Bennett in 2016? On the evidence of the two games so far - definitely. Gale has five try assists already, including four against Wakefield, while hes produced 11 attacking kicks. Sneyd v Gale 25 Age 27 1 Assists 5 10 Goals 8 12 Attacking kicks 11 18 Carries 25 Hes the key to Castlefords attacking game and will also captain the side for the rest of the season following Michael Shentons injury. So will Castlefords star man step up on Thursday night? Or will Sneyd play a star turn against his former club?Liam Watts v Andy LynchThere are two big front rows going head-to-head this Thursday, so expect some good collisions between the packs. Key to Hull FCs go-forward is Liam Watts, whos formed a new front row partnership with Scott Taylor, a combination previously across the city at Hull KR. Castleford have the tried and tested combination of Andy Lynch and Grant Millington. Liam Watts is key to Hull FCs go-forward As for Watts, his 2015 form saw him unlucky to miss out on a place in Steve McNamaras England squad. An offloading machine, he threw 66 last season, a massive 30 more than any of his teammates and second only to the Rhinos Adam Cuthbertson in Super League. Watts says hes targeting a place in the 2017 World Cup squad and hell need to up his game again this season.Its been a relatively quiet start to 2016 for him, just one offload so far, sixth on the metres made for FC and 15th on the average gain list. Hes also missed 10 tackles, the most in the Airlie Birds squad, so expect Watts to up his game as Hull FC look to get one over on the Tigers.As for Castleford, they rely on the experience of Andy Lynch. The oldest player in Super League at 36, hes just signed a years contract extension as well. Lynch outshone his teammates in terms of metres made last season, racking up an astonishing 3,589m over the campaign. Watts v Lynch 25 Age 36 24 Carries 16 154 Metres 115 6.42 Average gain 7.19 1 Offloads 1 He also came third on the offloads list with 36. The prop missed the opening round draw against Hull KR following a hand operation in pre-season, but was back fighting fit against Wakefield, forming that formidable front row with partner-in-crime Millington. If the Tigers can keep Lynch fit, then expect the veteran prop to lead the way this season in the pack.For more Super League preview - watch Sky Sports News HQ NOW every Wednesday at 11.30am where one of the Sky Rugby League team will be the guest.

MONTREAL -- While the Montreal Canadiens are dealing with a sudden rash of injuries, the Colorado Avalanche could be getting a key member of their lineup back when the two clubs square off on Saturday night at the Bell Centre.Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog missed his teams past 10 games with a lower-body injury. On Friday, he was a full participant in Colorados practice at the Canadiens suburban practice facility and felt ready to return to game action.Everything is feeling good, he told the Avalanche website. Ive had some good practices and morning skates and some tests on where things have been going well, and Im feeling good.First-year head coach Jared Bednar said he should be able to play.Its been a disappointing early season for the Avalanche (10-14-1), whose 21 points not only rank last in the Central Division but also ties the Arizona Coyotes for fewest in the NHL overall.Colorado is hoping to build some momentum off their most recent outing, a 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night, which snapped a six-game slide. The road has been a bit kinder than the altitude of the Rockies this season. The Avalanche is 6-6-0 at the opposition compared to a 4-8-1 record on home ice.A big part of that has been Matt Duchenes apparent comfort in other teams buildings. Duchene scored his team-leading 10th goal in Thursdays win. Every one of his tallies has come on the road.I cant score at home, but were on the road, he told the Denver Post with a smirk. I dont know what it is.The Canadiens (18-6-3) are coming off a big win of their own, disposing of the New Jersey Deevils 5-2 despite losing three players to injury in less than a week.dddddddddddd.Without offensive centers Alex Galchenyuk and David Desharnais, and defenseman Greg Pateryn, the rest of the lineup picked up the slack to carry the team to victory. Torrey Mitchell scored twice, becoming only the second Canadiens player this season to notch a pair in a home game. He was one of four players to record a multi-point game, along with Phillip Danault, Andrew Shaw, and Brendan Gallagher.We want to show that were about more than two players, Mitchell said after the game. (Galchenyuk and Desharnais) are two important players for us that are injured but we have players that are capable of stepping up. We saw that (on Thursday night).While Montreals offense came together, its special teams could use some improvement. After allowing a power-play goal against the Devils, the Canadiens shorthanded unit has now yielded at least one power-play goal in six of their past nine games, and ranks in the bottom half of the NHL in penalty-killing percentage.While the power play is enjoying greater success than in years past and continues to rank among the top teams in the league, it hit a dry spell of late. The Canadiens connected just three times in 22 opportunities over their past seven games, and were held off entirely in five of those seven outings.Calvin Pickard will get the start for the Avalanche while Carey Price is expected to get the nod in net for Montreal.
