CAPITALS GIVE UP 2 GOAL LEAD BUT WIN 4-3 IN THE SHOOTOUT

Last night in Montreal, the Habs took on the Capitals. It wasn't looking good for the Canadiens right from the start. As Ovechkin and Fehr scored 2 quick goals to give the Caps a 2 goal lead. But Montreal wasn't ready to give up just yet. First it was Jaroslav Spacek on the powerplay 5 minutes into the second. Then Thomas Plekanec scored late to tie it. In the third, the Canadiens went on the powerplay and Travis Moen tipped in a shot from the point to give Montreal the lead. Then with a 11 seconds to go Fehr put in his second of the game to tie it. The game went to a shootout and Backstrom scored the winner for the Capitals.

"For us, it's not good enough," Cammalleri said. "A lot of guys in here are upset. I don't really care who doesn't expect us to get the points. In this room we expect to get the points and we think that the way we've been able to play as a unit has been an effective way to get two points in a game and once again we put ourselves in position to do it tonight, so this group here is not happy with the one point." The Canadiens next game will be on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs (who have won 3 in a row).
