The Montreal Canadiens nearly lost the game last night as they blew a 3 goal lead at the Bell Center.
"We were just fortunate that it didn't cost us two points tonight," Price said.
"We dominated the play and then it seems like we slowed down," Tanguay said. "We played to their level the last two and we're a puck possession team - we need to be playing with the puck, we need to be skating and I felt like we didn't play as well the last two periods and let them back in, and fortunately for us we got the two points."
Alex Kovalev, Saku Koivu and Maxim Lapierre gave Montreal a 3-0 lead, beating Thomas in a 3:19 span late in the opening period.
Carey Price stopped all 3 shots in the shootout including Phil Kessel, Patrice Bergeron and former Canadien left winger Michael Ryder in the shootout to help Montreal win after 4-3.
Tanguay scored the only goal last night in the shootout which made the Canadiens win by the score of 4-3 against the Bruins.
"Obviously, the first period, that's not the start that we wanted," Bergeron said. "We never stopped battling and we came back in the game, and I think that's a big point, but we could have avoided going to overtime by playing well in the first period."
