Last night in Montreal, the Habs were looking for another win that would pull them closer to first in the North East Division. Since the Bruins lost 4-3 against Nashville in overtime, a win for the Habs would put them within 3 points of the North East Division lead. So it was a big night for the Habs. Late in the first, Cammalleri tried to center the puck and it went off a lightning players skate and Roloson dove and made a great saves with the stick. Early second now, the Lightning went on the powerplay.
On the powerplay, St.Louis had the puck at the point he took a shot and it was stopped but the rebound went right to Purcell who would score to make it 1-0 Lightning. Just a couple of minutes after that, Desharnais centred the puck right to Kostitsyn who put it past Roloson to tie the game at 1-1. Then just a few minutes later, Stamkos skated in deked ariund the Habs defense and Price stopped it and Stamkos knocked him down as he did that the puck went in the net. They would review it and it would be no goal on the play. Then in the third, with the Lightning on the powerplay once again. St. Louis turned the puck over and Gionta had a breakaway and he scored to make it 2-1 Montreal.
Then 5 minutes after that, the Lightning went on the powerplay again. St.Louis took a shot and it was tipped in by Gagne to tie the game at 2-2. It would go to overtime, but it would slove nothing and we went to a shootout. Dawes would make it 1-0. But Gagne would tie it. The next shooter was Cammalleri, and he scored five hole to make it 2-1.
Price would make the save on Purcell as the Habs won the game 3-2 is the final."It seems like a lot of those guys, they just try and drag you across the net and look for an opening," Price said. "It's pretty smart, but if you don't find an opening, it's not as good." The Habs next game will be Tonight against the Rangers. The Rangers sit 7 points back of the Habs. If the Rangers lose to the Habs tonight they will have lost all 4 games against the Habs this season.
