CAM WARD SHUTS DOWN MONTREAL WITH SAVE AFTER SAVE TO GET THE CANES A 2-1 WIN


Last night in Montreal, the Canadiens took on the Hurricanes and controlled the game for the most part but Cam Ward shuts the door on 32 of Montreal's 33 shots."It was a nice win," Staal (who scored the game winning goal)said. "We didn't play very well in the first period. But when you have an all-star goalie like Cam Ward he'll give you a chance, and he provided that for us." With the win the Hurricane's are now 11-0-2 in their last 13 games in Montreal (including the playoffs). The win was also big because now the Hurricanes are 5 points out of a playoff spot with 5 games left to play. So they still have a chance.

As for Montreal, But even though they lost they still are tied for 6th and they have a big game ahead of them. As they take on the Flyers( who are tied with Montreal and Boston) on Friday.They need to start getting points on the board like they did in their 6 game win streak. If they don't they won't make the playoffs, it's as simple as that."We all understand the urgency," said Canadiens goalie Carey Price (who had 25 save in the loss). "There's five games left now. Our next game against Philadelphia is obviously a very big game. We just have to forget this one and get ready for that next game, individually and as a team we have to put all our energy and focus into that game."
