HABS SCORE 3 THIRD PWRIOD GOALS TO LEAD TO A 4-1 VICTORY

(12-15-2) Ottawa Senators 1-4 Montreal Canadiens (18-8-2)
                                           Final

Last night in Montreal, The Canadiens had a fast start to the game against the Sens by scoring a goal on the powerplay from Mike Cammalleri. But they slowed down from there as with 8.5 seconds to go in the first Nick Foligno scored the tieing goal on the powerplay.  So after one the score is 1-1. There was 0 goals in the second even though Montreal had a 5 minute and a 4 minute pwerplay. But in the third the Habs would wake up. It was a 2 on 1 for Lapierre and Halpern and Lapierre played it right to Halpern who buried it to give the Habs the lead.

Then the Habs on a 2 on 1 again, Gionta had the puck and shot it past Leclaire to make it 3-1. Shortly after that Leclaire left the game due to skate problems. So Elliot took over. But he didn't do well. As Gionta took a nice shot off  Elliot's mask and then Hamirlik batted it out of mid air to mkae it 4-1 and that is your final. In this game, the Habs won because of Price's great play in the second as he made 13 second period saves and made a total of 27 saves."We've said all year that our goalie's given us a chance to win every game," Halpern said.

"When we've had a couple of lulls in our season, he's come out with unbelievable performances.He covers up a lot of mistakes that we make as a team, but he also gives us confidence to feel good about the way we're playing and to get on things." With this win the Habs have won 3 games in a row and currently sit in a comfortable spot in the East as they are in third and are 1 point away from second which is the team the Habs nocked out in round 1 of the playoffs last season (the Washington Capitals). The Habs next game will be Fiday against the Wings.
