Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens got off to a good start by controlling the first period. But in the second it was a different story. Halak was pulled after the 3rd goal on just the 13th shot. So Carey Price came in and allowed just 1 goal in the second to go down 4-0. But the Habs got back to their game plan in the third.They even scored a powerplay goal by Plekanec. But it was too late. As the game was still 4-1 late in the game until the Capitals added a goal in the final minute to add insult to injury as the Habs lost 5-1 and trail the series just by one game.“These guys are good. They didn’t score over 100 more goals than anyone else during the regular season for nothing,” said Price after making 21 saves on 23 shots he faced. “We can’t get frustrated or make any mistakes because a team like this makes you pay. That’s just the way it is.”
In the win, Boyd Gordon,Brooks Laich ,Eric Fehr,Alex Ovechkin and Matt Bradley scored and Varlamov made 27 saves for the Capitals."It felt good to come into a hostile environment like this and play well," said Washington forward Eric Fehr. "It was crazy.We got a break on Gordon's goal and that turned it around for us."With the Canadiens trailing this series 2-1, the Habs will have to do something they've never done before. Which is to win a series after losing game 3."It's the playoffs, it doesn't matter if the score is 10-1 or 3-2, it's one game," said Plekanec. "We'll regroup." So now the question is who will start game 4 for Montreal? Will it be Halak or Price? I think they will go with Price due to coming off the bench and in to the game with a great performance.
