BUFFALO, N.Y. - Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula are hitting the road to take part in the search for a coach.And a stop in San Diego to interview Chargers offensive co-ordinator Frank Reich on Sunday is on the itinerary, a person familiar with the search process told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not outlined their plans to replace Doug Marrone, who abruptly stepped down Wednesday.Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase was already scheduled to be interviewed in Denver on Saturday.A second person familiar with the process told the AP that the Pegulas will take part in the interviews. That way, the co-owners can familiarize themselves with the candidates and directly address questions regarding their vision for the franchise and its front-office hierarchy.The Pegulas, who also own the NHLs Buffalo Sabres, are new to NFL. They bought the Bills for a league-record $1.4 billion in October from the estate of Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson, who died in March.General manager Doug Whaley will conduct the interviews and President Russ Brandon will take part as an adviser.The team has not put a cap on the number of candidates it will interview, or placed a timetable on hiring a coach.The Bills are in the unusual position of embarking on their sixth coaching search in 14 years despite a 9-7 finish, which matched Buffalos best record in a decade. The Bills, however, missed the playoffs to extend the NFLs longest active post-season drought to 15 years.The teams chain of command was among the reasons Marrone exercised an opt-out clause in his contract, which came into effect with the change in ownership. The second-year coach, who will collect $4 million in salary he was due next season, was unsure whether the Pegulas were going to restructure their front office.The Pegulas have proposed hiring a veteran presence to oversee the football operations.Bill Polian, 72, was a candidate to fill the newly created role. But the Bills former general manager informed the Pegulas on Thursday that Marrones departure and quarterback Kyle Ortons retirement led to his decision to stay in his current role as an NFL TV and radio broadcaster.That makes the coaching search the Bills immediate priority.Buffalo is one of four teams to express interest in Gase, who has spent the past two years overseeing a Peyton Manning-led offence that has been among the NFLs most potent attacks.Gase is available to be interviewed in Denver during the Broncos weekend off, before they prepare to host an AFC Divisional playoff game on Jan. 11. He cannot be hired until Denver is finished playing.Reich is very familiar to Buffalo. The former quarterback spent his first 10 NFL seasons with the Bills, and served as a dependable backup to Hall of Famer Jim Kelly.Reich was most memorably the starter in Buffalos 41-38 overtime win over the Houston Oilers in an AFC wild-card playoff on Jan. 3, 1993. The Bills rallied from a 35-3 third-quarter deficit, which stands as the NFLs largest comeback.Reich completed his second season with San Diego, and first as a co-ordinator. He oversaw a Philip Rivers-led attack that finished 18th in the NFL in yards gained and 17th in points.Reich previously spent four seasons as an offensive assistant in Indianapolis, where he also worked with Manning. In 2012, Reich was a receivers coach with the Arizona Cardinals.Bills defensive co-ordinator Jim Schwartz is also considered a candidate. He joined the Bills a year ago after spending five seasons as the Detroit Lions head coach.___AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Custom Pelicans Jerseys . - Nikita Jevpalovs scored 6:22 into the second overtime as the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada edged the visiting Rimouski Oceanic 2-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff action.

The Raptors are 1-1 so far on the five-game junket after defeating Denver and losing to Portland.TORONTO -- A short mid-game lapse was the difference between victory and defeat for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. Defenceman Dalton Prout and centre Artem Anisimov scored less than three minutes apart in the second period as the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets held off the Leafs for a 2-1 victory. "We had a mediocre second period and it cost us the game," said Leafs defenceman Cody Franson. "We got away from our game plan, we tried to get cute with the puck and turned it over too many times. And when you play a team that has that kind of transitional ability, thats not what you want to do." The Leafs carried the play for the majority of the first period and skated with desperation in the third, but ultimately couldnt break through the Blue Jackets defence. "For the first period we had lots of life and we were winning battles," said Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. "In the second period we just started to stall in the neutral zone. Were a team that needs to push the puck up the ice and establish a forecheck and we didnt do that for the first 13, 14 minutes of the second period." When the Leafs were able to apply some pressure, Sergei Bobrovsky was more than equal to the task. The Columbus goalie made 28 saves and stood especially tall when Toronto pushed for the tying goal in the final minutes of the game. "Their goalie made some really big saves in the third period and we missed some opportunities that we usually score on," said Leafs winger Joffrey Lupul. "We had some good chances, they just didnt go in." Its the Leafs third consecutive defeat since the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Toronto dropped overtime games on the road to the New York Islanders on Thursday and Montreal Saturday. "The three losses hurt because we had points available to us on the road," Carlyle said. "Thats the hard part, losing two overtime games on the road when we had one-goal leads in both games. That kind of kicks you a little bit, it doesnt feel very good." The Leafs remain in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, but five teams are within five or fewer points. "Obviously we wanted a different outcome in the past three games," Franson said. "But if you look at them we were sloppy on (Long) Island and still gave ourselves a chance to win. I thought we played a pretty decent game against Montreal, a couple of bounces and some penalty trouble cost us that one. "We didnt play a full 60 minutes tonight and thats on us. The other two games couldve gone either way." The loss against Columbus ended a seven-game home winning streak for Toronto, the Leafs longest at Air Canada Centre since a nine-game run in 2006-07. "We were rolling pretty good there and feeling quite confident in what we were doing (before the Olympic break)," Franson said. "When youre rolling like that, someetimes it can be difficult to find that smoothness in how you were performing before.dddddddddddd" The victory gives the Blue Jackets a sweep of the season series as Columbus beat Toronto 5-2 on Oct. 25 and thumped the Leafs 6-0 on Nov. 25. "They play a stingy game, they dont give you too much," Franson said. "They forecheck hard, they make you execute down low and if you dont youre going to get bit." Mason Raymond scored the lone goal for Toronto (32-23-8), making a game of it when he wired a slapshot past Bobrovsky at 15:45 of the third period. Thats as close as the Leafs would get, however, despite a late flurry when goalie James Reimer was pulled. "We didnt have enough of getting pucks through," Carlyle said. "It seemed like when we had glorious opportunities early in the game, they were blocking the shots. Later on, we stopped going to the front of the net and Bobrovsky had clear sightlines to make the saves." Reimer made 31 saves in a losing effort. It was his first start since Jan. 25. "I hadnt been in there for a while, so youre a little rusty and the games different than a practice, its faster, you have to battle harder through traffic," Reimer said. "There was a little rust there, but I felt pretty good." The teams were tied 0-0 after the first period and Columbus led 2-0 through 40 minutes. "They took over the game in the second period, they played really well, and we didnt find an answer soon enough," Lupul said. Reimer was sharp early as the Blue Jackets applied pressure, including a clear-cut breakaway by Columbus left-winger Nick Foligno less than for minutes into the game that was denied by the Leafs goalie. "We gave up two point-blank breakaways and Reimer stopped them both," Carlyle said. "You cant point to our goaltending as a deficiency, for sure. He did his part to give us a chance." Aided by a pair of power plays in the middle of the opening period, Toronto took over the momentum for the rest of the first period and had a handful of scoring chances but couldnt solve Bobrovsky. Prout opened the scoring when his slapshot from the left point beat a screened Reimer at 9:44 of the second. It was the defencemans first goal in 30 games this season and his second goal in 63 career NHL games. "Hes one of those guys that you root for and his teammates root for," said Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards. Anisimov gave the vistors a two-goal lead when he converted Nathan Hortons pass at the side of the crease at 12:38. Columbus went 0-for-1 on the power play while Toronto was 0-for-2.
