Last night in St.Louis, it was former Habs Jaroslav Halak's first game gainst his former team. Halak was a big part in the Habs longest Playoff run since 1993 last year when they went to the Conference final before being nocked out by the Flyers. But they had to put all that aside as they had a game to play. Just 2 and a half minutes in, Peterangelo had the puck in the slot but was stopped by Carey Price.
Shortly after that, Oshie played the puck cross crease right to Backes and he was stopped by Price. With 10 minutes to play in the first, Mcdonald with a chance and he was stopped and the rebound went off the post. Then just 3 minutes later, Picard played the puck to Halpern who would score to make it 1-0 Montreal. Just a few minutes later, Plekanec's rap-around was stopped by Halak.
With 1 minute to go in the first, the Blues win the faceoff right to Backes who would one time it past Price to tie the game. Just 1 minute into the seond, the Habs gave the ouck away right to Mcdonald who would score to make it 2-1 Blues lead. Then with 2 minutes to go, the Habs were shorthanded but took it up ice it was a 2 on 1. Pyatt played the puck right to Desharnais and he was stopped by Halak. D'Agostini would add a late goal and Oshie would add an empty net goal as the Blues win 4-1.Halak made 27 saves or the Blues in the win.
"Obviously, when you play for a team and then you get traded, you want to beat them every time you play them," Halak said. "We play Montreal only once a year, so that was my chance this year. I needed to make sure I gave it my best."The Habs next game will be Saturday against the Penguins.
