Last night in Montreal, the Montreal Canadiens took on the worst team in the NHL (the Edmonton Oilers). But it wasn't a easy ride as it need extra time and then a shootout. But Montreal came out on top by a final of 5-4 with a goal by Andrei Kostitsyn in the 5th round of the shootout."It's not easy against these teams -- they've got nothing to lose," said Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov. "And then we try to get too fancy and sometimes it doesn't work. You need to play a more simple game. We got the two points so we're happy, but we have to play better." The goals scored by Montreal in this game were by Tomas Plekanec (2oth), Brian Gionta (21st),Travis Moen (8th) and Sergei Kostitsyn (3rd). The shootout winner was scored by Andrei Kostitsyn.
In this game Montreal kept taking the lead time and time again. But the Oilers kept coming back. Like when Sergei Kostitsyn gave Montreal the lead at 4-3 but then Shawn Horcroff took a slap shot and it went in. "I've got to stop that one -- shots from there shouldn't go in," said Halak. "But that happens to everyone. It wasn't my best game, but we got the two points." The Canadiens next game will be on Saturday against Boston at 7:00pm E.t on CBC-M and NESN.
