Last night in New York, The Montreal Canadiens beat the New York Rangers by the score of 3-1 to earn their 6Th straight win. With the victory, Montreal jumps into 6Th place being ahead of the Flyers by 1 point with 78 and the Habs are now 1 point back of the Senators for the 5Th spot."We have to just take care of what is in here," forward Scott Gomez said. "We've still got a lot of games left. The last thing that we're worried about is these teams. We're worried about what we're doing."
Glen Metropolit opened the scoring on the powerplay on a tipped shot from Andrei Markov. Then early on in the second, the Rangers answered back with a goal by Avery. The score remained at 1-1 going into the third. That's when Sergei Kostitsyn shot the puck off a Ranger skate to give Montreal a 2-1 lead.With 46 seconds to go the Rangers had a 6 on 4 advantage (a powerplay and a empty net). But they couldn't capitalize on it as Plekanec stole the puck and had a breakaway and scored on the empty net to make the score be 3-1 and that would be the final. In the Habs 6Th straight win Halak made 19 saves. As for the Rangers, Lundqvist made 32 saves but it wasn't enough.
“We’re playing as a group now,” explained Josh Gorges. “You watch the games and every time we’re out there, you see five guys up and five guys back. Our gap is a lot tighter between our D and our forwards and everyone is on the same page. It seems like we finally figured out everyone’s role. Sometimes it’s not easy to accept, but we know that if we keep on this path and keep doing the little things and playing together and supporting each other, we’re going to be successful.” The Habs next game will be on Saturday against the Leafs.
