Jaroslav Halak took over as the starter in net when Carey Price was in a slump. Halak is showing that he can be the starter,as he once again steals a win by making 46 saves. "As long as we get the win, that's what matters,"Carey Price said."We need the points."The goalscorers for the Habs in this game are as followed:Saku Koivu (His 11th goal of the year), Gosh Gorges (his 3rd goal of the year) and Andrei Markov (his 9th goal of the year). The Sharks were down 3-0 after 1 period, but then battled hard for 2 goals by Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton. That's as close as they got as they lost 3-2."We're big, fast and strong and a lot of teams don't know how to play us," said Thornton. "They don't know how to handle that."
The Canadiens have won 4 in-a-row for the first time since October 18th 2008."We could still be better, but this is a start," said coach Guy Carbonneau.The Canadiens are going on the road this week for games in Buffalo, Atlanta and Dallas. The Sharks ended a four-game road trip and next play Tuesday against Dallas.Defenceman Doug Janik, acquired by Montreal from Dallas on Thursday, cleared waivers and was assigned to AHL Hamilton. I don't know why Canadiens pick up players if their just going to put them back on waivers. The reason can be that they need cap space for Glen Metropolit. If the Canadiens want to be a Cup Champ this year they need all their players to be healthy, they need to aquire a big defenseman and a forward.
