Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens had there eye on the division lead and the Capitals had there eye on there 9th straight win. Just one minute into the first, Wideman dumped the puck in and it went of the glass and right in front of an open net as Price was at the back of the net hoping to play the puck, due to that Johansson had an easy goal to make it 1-0. Twenty seconds later, Holtby went behind the net to the play the puck for Washington and he played it right to Travis Moen who had an easy empty net goal to tie the game at 1-1. One minute after that, Hendricks took a shot and it was stopped by Price, but the puck went behind him and the net came off and Fehr had knocked it in. They would review it but it was no goal.
With seven minutes to go, Laich came in and he went around Gill and then put it past Price to make it 2-1 Capitals after one period of play. That was Laich's 100th Career goal.Just three minutes into the second, Eller did a drop pass to Kostitsyn and Kostitsyn would fire it home to make it a tie game once again. Then just a few minutes after that Sturm came in on the backhand and he was stopped by Price with the glove hand. Then with six minutes to go in the second, Desharnais came skating in the Caps zone and he took a shot and it was stopped by Holtby. Then just a minute later, Ovechkins shot was stopped,Semin was banging away at the rebound and it was stopped three times by Carey Price. So were tied after two.
In the third, Bradly played it to Gorden in front and he was stopped by Price. Then shortly after that, Ovechkin came skating in and he played it to Johansson who would score to make it 3-2 Washington. Then with just ten minutes to play, Desharnais came skating in on a partial breakaway and he had Holtby beat but he fanned on the shot. But he still had it and he played it right to Cammalleri and he was Stopped by Holtby. Then the following play, Gionta skated in and he was stopped with the glove hand of Holtby. Then with four minutes to play, it was a two on one for the Capitals and Sturm played it to Knuble and he scored to put the game away. As the Capitals would win there 9th straight 4-2 is your final.
In the win, Holtby made 24 saves on 26 shots. In the loss, Carey Price made 37 saves. The Habs also lost another couple of players. Plekanec and Halpern left the game with both of them having lower body injury's. Martin will give an update later on today."Obviously, guys keep falling and you don't want to see that at this time of the season when points are so important," said defenceman P.K. Subban. "But we've got to keep moving forward and not dwell on that.We hope those guys are back for us, but we have to focus on the game." Played well this game, but not as well as they would have liked as they lost 4-2 and since the Bruins beat the Jackets in a shootout by the score of 3-2,Montreal now finds themselves 4 points out of 1st in the North East Division.
"We could have stole one tonight," left wing Michael Cammalleri said. "Carey's the biggest reason and we had some almost-chances and I just think it was probably indicative of our game overall, just not good enough everywhere and one of those areas was capitalizing on offensive chances." The Habs next game will be Thursday against the Lightning at 7:38 pm E.t is your Offical puck drop time in Montreal.
