CAMMALLERI GETS THE WINNER IN MONTREALS SECOND STRAIGHT WIN


Last night in Montreal, the Montreal Canadiens took on the Philadelphia Flyers looking to get there second straight win. And they did that alright with Mike Cammalleri's game winner in a 3-1 win."It felt a little bit weird out there," Cammalleri said. "I don't know what it looked like watching but it felt a little weird, like both teams were playing possum a little bit. Hey, we won the game.""Both teams played a tight battle so it was hard to really generate much offense," Price said. "Both teams were doing a great job of trapping it up. Our team blocked everything - I don't know about their guys but our guys blocked a lot of shots tonight."

Andrei Kostitsyn and Mar-Andrei Bergoron also scored for Montreal and Carey Price Made 14 saves on 15 shots (Montreal's least shots given up this season)."I think our last two games we've played our best defensive hockey of the year," Price said. As for the Flyers, Daniel Briere got the lone goal and Boucher made 10 saves on 13 shots in the loss."We played two decent periods of getting the puck in deep, grinding on their defense, grinding on their forwards, and created some decent scoring opportunities through that," Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger said. "But the few turnovers we made cost us one goal and then our inability to get the puck in deep in the third period didn't allow us to get any cycles and any of that grind game going." The Canadiens next game will be tonight against the Senators in Ottawa.
