NYON, Switzerland -- UEFA has barred Serbian title winner Red Star Belgrade from next seasons Champions League for not paying its debts. The 1991 European Cup winner was judged "in breach of a number of provisions of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play regulations," UEFA said in a statement. Clubs must show they have paid player salaries, transfer fees, and social taxes before being granted a license to enter UEFA competitions. UEFA said the judging panel of its club finance monitoring body was told in April "of the existence of overdue payables as a result of a complaint." Red Star has 10 days to file an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The club was due to enter the Champions League second qualifying round, and make its first appearance in Europes top competition for seven years. It would need to beat three opponents to reach the 32-team group stage. League runner-up Partizan, Red Stars city rival, stands to get the Champions League berth. Serbias football association also faces UEFA sanctions for granting Red Star its license. "An investigation against the Football Association of Serbia (FSS) might be opened within the coming days by the chief investigator for alleged breaches of the club licensing regulations," UEFA said. All clubs must prove their financial integrity to a national association before being formally approved to represent their country in the Champions League or Europa League. UEFAs licensing system pre-dates the FFP rules but has been given a higher profile as a weapon to curb clubs who overspend and avoid paying debts.

LOUIS - Brian Elliott was a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan while growing up in Ontario. So the St. Louis Blues goalie got a little extra satisfaction out of shutting them out.Elliott stopped 27 shots for his third shutout of the season and 28th of his career as the Blues topped the slumping Maple Leafs 3-0 on Saturday night.Its awesome, Elliott said. Its all about the two points, but I grew up bleeding blue for the Maple Leafs. Its fun to go out and get a shutout against them for sure.After allowing three goals in each of his last two games, Elliott got back on track with his 19th shutout for the Blues.Blues defenceman Alex Pietrangelo said there was never any doubt about Elliotts play.Weve had no questions inside this room, Pietrangelo said. We know what he can do. Tonights a prime example; outstanding performance by him. I thought we did a great job, too, eliminating second chance opportunities. Hes pushing pucks where they cant get them and were clearing in front of the net.Its a good overall effort defensively.Elliott, who missed nearly five weeks earlier this season with a knee sprain, moved to the top spot in the NHL in goals against average at 1.90 and fourth in save percentage at .929.Blues coach Ken Hitchcock thought Elliott was back at the top of his game.This is, for me, the best hes played, Hitchcock said. Not just because he got a shutout, but this is the best hes played since coming back from the injury, for sure. He had work today because we gave up odd-man rushes. We dont normally do that, but we gave up some.Alexander Steen extended his scoring streak to a career-high nine games with a goal and an assist, and Kevin Shattenkirk and T.J. Oshie also had goals for St. Louis. The win was No. 685 for Hitchcock, who passed former Maple Leafs coach Pat Quinn and moved into sole possession of fifth place on the career victories list.St. Louis is 4-0-1 during its seven-game homestand and has earned a point in eight straight games. The Blues, who have not lost to Toronnto since Jan.dddddddddddd 29, 2008 (6-0-2), are 11-3-2 against Eastern Conference teams, best in the NHL.David Backes added two assists for the Blues, extending his scoring streak to six games. Backes has 13 points in those six games (seven goals, six assists).Jonathan Bernier made 30 saves for the Maple Leafs, who went 0-4 on their four-game road trip and were outscored 12-1, including being shut out three times. The Maple Leafs are 1-7 in January.Its frustrating, Bernier said. We go back home after we score one goal and get no points. I know I have got to be better and make that extra save that keeps us in the game.Toronto got the jump on the Blues, outshooting them 15-6 at the start. But the Blues got the first goal when Shattenkirk got the puck on the right boards, walked into the right circle and beat Bernier with a backhander at 16:40 of the first period.There were some positive things in the first period before they scored that goal, said Toronto interim head coach Peter Horachek. We are a team that has to be at our strongest now. Were going to have to be mentally tougher.It stayed 1-0 until Steen beat Bernier with another backhander from in front 1:38 into the third period.Hes extremely patient as a goalie, and doesnt really bite on a lot of stuff, said Steen, who waited out Bernier and then lifted the puck over him. I was just trying to wait as long as I could.Steen then set up Oshie on a 2-on-1 with 5 minutes left for the final margin.NOTES: Defenceman Roman Polak, who spent eight seasons with the Blues before being traded to Toronto for fellow defenceman Carl Gunnarsson in the off-season, returned to St. Louis for the first time and received a big ovation when announced as a starter before the game. ... The Blues line of Steen, Backes and Oshie has 49 points in the past 11 games. ... Torontos Phil Kessel played in his 410th straight game, which is the fifth-longest current streak. ... St. Louis is 11-0-1 since Jaden Schwartz returned to the lineup. ' ' '
