PRICE MAKES 28 SAVES, AS THE CANADIENS DEFEAT THE BLACKAWKS 4-1



Carey Price was driving to the morning skate on Tuesday morning,he spoted his old goaltending partner Cristobal Huet on the street."I gave him a hug out of my window," Price said of his first meeting with Huet since the trade. "We had a green light coming, so we couldn't talk too much.But it was a sad day for me when he got traded. It was almost like having an older brother. He was a guy I looked up to for advice. He was everything I wanted out of a partner." Just 24 sec. into the first period, Keith thought that there was an iceing call so he taped it back,guess who was on the door step. It was Alex Kovalev one timing home his 23rd goal of the season to give the Habs a 1-0 lead.

Guillaume Latendresse, Andrei Markov and Mathieu Schneider also scored for Montreal.Sergei Kostitsyn and defenceman Roman Hamrlik, both got a upperbody injury last night. With the Canadiens 4-1 win over Chicago,it officially eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators from any chance of any contention to make the playoff.Huet made 29 saves and allowed 4 goals in the lose. As Carey Price made 28 saves and just allowed 1 goal in the victory."He's a good goalie and he's going to have a great career," Huet said of Price. "When you talk about being a mentor, I don't know. But he had a good game tonight."The Canadiens next game will be on Thursday against the Islanders on TSN and RDS.
