(20-13-2) Montreal Canadiens 3-2 Carolina Hurricanes (15-14-4)
Final
Last night in Carolina, the Hurricanes took the lead early with a goal from Larose but were unable to hold on as 2 minutes after that Gomez came back down the other way and tied it. Then in the second, the Hurricanes had a 2-1 lead but the Habs were on the powerplay and Plekanecs centering pass went right to Kostitsyn who buried it to tie the game. Then with the Habs still on the powerplay, Picards point shot beat Ward to give the Habs the 3-2 lead going into the third. In the third it was all Carolina, but Carey Price was there to make 10 third period saves and a game total of 22 saves to lead the Habs to a 3-2 victory.
"Our special teams have always been pretty important for us," goalie Carey Price said. "It won us the game."With this win, the Habs have now snapped there 4 game road losing streak and there overall losing streak of 2 games."We had good control of the hockey game -- although they scored the two goals, I thought we played well, and we did things that we wanted to do," Montreal coach Jacques Martin said. The Habs next game will be on Boxing day.
Merry Christmas everyone.
