Last night in Carolina, the Habs took on the Hurricanes. Just 34 seconds in, Tlustys shot from the shot went off the right skate of Price and off the post and in to make it 1-0 Hurricanes. 4 minutes later, Plekanec came in on the right side and took a shot and Ward made the save with his head, as the shot knocked off his helmet. 2 minutes later, the puck landed on top of the Habs net and Brent would knock it off and play it to Sutter, who played it to Stewart in the slot and he one-timed a shot past Price to make it 2-0. With 4 minutes left in the first, Moens shot from the slot beat Ward but not the post. 5 minutes into the second, Ruutu played the puck to Harrison at the point and he one-timed a shot and it was kicked out by the right pad of Price.
5 minutes later, Diaz's point shot was stopped but Eller put home the rebound to cut the lead in half it's now at 2-1. Just 1 minute into the third, Gorges point shot was tipped into the back of the net by Cammalleri to tie the game at 2-2. 2 minutes later, Dwyer centred the puck right to Sutter and he one-timed a shot past Price to give the Hurricanes the lead again. 1 minute later, Webers point shot was tipped past Ward and into the net by Moen and the game is tied again. This game would go to a shootout. Cammlleri was up first and he was stopped by Ward. LaRose was up first for the Canes and he was stopped by Price. Both Pacioretty and Skinner were stopped, so it was up to Gionta to give the Habs the lead. Gionta came in, went from left to right and scored to give Montreal the lead. Jokinen was stopped by Price as the Habs win this game 4-3 is your Final.
In the win, Price made 30 saves on 33 shots. In the loss, Ward made 31 saves on 34 shots."In the first period we weren't good," Montreal coach Jacques Martin said. "They won more battles and were on the puck. They were more determined. After that we came back strong in the second, created several good chances, capitalized and persisted as we should have." Price spoke to the media about how this game compared to their last meeting."They were definitely thinking about the last time we played them," said Price."They were probably looking for a little bit of retribution and we knew they would come out hard and play well."
