The Canadiens were playing a great game, getting pucks to the net, playing great defense, but the problem was they just could not beat Lehtonen (Who made 25 saves)."He was awesome," Thrashers rookie Zach Begosian said. "If he hadn't been on, it could have been a different story." The Canadiens are 2-11-1 in their last 14 games away from Montreal.With Montreal goalie Jaroslav Halak out with the flu, Carey Price made 26 stops but fell to 0-6-1 in his last seven games."With a good performance like this from Carey, unfortunately we can't score goals," Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau said.
This is just the second shutout Montreal has faced this season. The last one was a 3-0 defeat against the Capitals in November."It's frustrating for him and us, but I think our effort tonight was better than at Buffalo."Carbonneau said he was encouraged that his team "worked for 60 minutes and gained confidence" against Atlanta."We keep working like this, we'll be OK," he said. The Canadiens next game will be on Sunday against the Stars at 6:00pm E.T on RDS.
