				<title><![CDATA[Red Wings win shootout over Canadiens]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[MONTREAL(AP) -- The Detroit Red Wings ended the Montreal
Canadiens' domination after regulation.

Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg scored on Detroit's first
two shootout attempts to give the Red Wings a 3-2 win over
Montreal on Saturday night.

Datsyuk, who netted one of Detroit's two power-play goals in the
first period, deked and put a shot past Carey Price on the Red
Wings' first shootout try.

Jimmy Howard, who made 16 saves, stopped Mike Cammalleri to open
the tiebreaker, and Tomas Plekanec struck the post on the
Canadiens' next shot. Zetterberg then clinched the win with a
shot between Price's pads.

"The way I figure it is in the shootout it was my chance to sort
of get a little bit of retribution," Howard said.

Brad Stuart and Datsyuk scored power-play goals 2:01 apart in
the first period for Detroit, which lost 2-1 to Florida in a
shootout on Friday.

"It was a tough loss for us," Zetterberg said. "I think we
played well. And we came in here, we got a lot of power play
from the beginning - up two goals. I think it was a well-played
game, both teams coming from back-to-back games so it was good
goaltending."

Cammalleri scored twice in the third for Montreal, beaten after
regulation for the first time this season. The Canadiens were
8-0 in games decided beyond regulation, 4-0 in shootouts.

Price stopped 32 shots, the same number he turned aside Friday
in the Canadiens' 3-2 win in Washington.

Cammalleri, who has three goals in two games, scored 9 seconds
into the third period - snapping a shot past Howard to draw the
Canadiens within 2-1.

He tied it at 8:45 when he slapped Andrei Kostitsyn's centering
pass between Howard's legs from the edge of the crease. It was
his team-leading 11th goal.

Stuart, who recorded eight of Detroit's 16 shots in the first
period, scored his second of the season 12:41 in while
Montreal's Georges Laraque was in the penalty box serving six
minutes in minor penalties.

Datsyuk scored his sixth goal at 14:42 during a lengthy a 5-on-3
advantage after Paul Mara was called for cross-checking.

Laraque, who returned to the Canadiens lineup Friday after
missing 13 games because of back pain, was called for tripping
Niklas Kronwall at 8:52 following a leg-on-leg, open-ice
collision with the Red Wings defenseman. A delayed penalty had
already been signaled against the Montreal enforcer for his high
stick on Darren Helm, which drew a double minor.

Kronwall didn't return after he fell to the ice in obvious pain
following his collision with Laraque, who appeared to leave his
leg in Kronwall's path.

"You know it's something that shouldn't happen in hockey," Red
Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "A guy shouldn't hang his leg out
there and hurt another guy. It's unacceptable and it's
disappointing, obviously. We just lost a good player for a
period of time. Our doctors will look at him, but he's out for a
chunk for sure."

While the hit was called "bad" by Zetterberg and "dirty" by
Datsyuk, Laraque doesn't expect to face any further punishment
by the NHL.

"There were four refs on the ice and they didn't call anything,"
Laraque said. "If they called a match penalty it would be
different. There was no intent. There was no reason why I would
try to go and hurt him. It was a pure accident, that's why they
called it tripping, so I'm not worried at all."

The Canadiens, who lost center Scott Gomez to a lower-body
injury Friday, had killed Laraque's first minor penalty when
Stuart put the Red Wings up 1-0 with a slap shot from the point.

Datsyuk redirected Brian Rafalski's pass from the left point
past Price to make it two straight goals for Detroit's power
play at 14:42.

The Red Wings, who outshot Montreal 16-3 in the opening period
and 34-18 overall, enjoyed another 5-on-3 advantage for 1:27
late in the first when Canadiens defenseman Ryan O'Byrne was
called for slashing while Travis Moen was in the box.

"I thought in the first 10 minutes of the game we had good
momentum going," Canadiens coach Jacques Martin said. "We were
playing four lines, we had good tempo, we were controlling the
play. The number of penalties we took gave them the two goals,
and then you've got to battle back."

The Canadiens, who will celebrate their 100th anniversary on
Dec. 4, wore retro uniforms evoking the team's original
sweaters. The blue throwback jerseys, featuring white trim and a
letter "C" on the chest, are similar to those worn by the
1909-10 team as a charter member of the National Hockey
Association.

NOTES: Stuart recorded 26 shots in his first 23 games. ... The
Canadiens went 2-10 in 1909-10 during the inaugural season of
the NHA, the NHL's predecessor. ... Cammalleri had 39 goals with
Calgary last season.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[By MATT BECKER
STATS Senior Writer

Detroit (10-6-3) at Montreal (10-11-0), 7:00 p.m. EDT

After having no trouble scoring goals last week, Detroit coach
Mike Babcock admits the Red Wings haven't had much puck luck
since.

The Red Wings try to break out of their scoring funk and avoid a
third straight loss Saturday night when they visit a Montreal
Canadiens team trying to move over .500 for the first time in
four weeks.

Detroit (10-6-4) totaled 19 goals in victories over Columbus,
Vancouver and Anaheim last week, but was unable to sustain that
momentum. The Red Wings fell 2-1 in overtime to Florida on
Friday after losing 3-1 to Dallas on Wednesday.

Against the Panthers, Detroit - which last lost three in a row
Oct. 17-24 - fired 40 shots on goaltender Scott Clemmensen but
only one by Pavel Datsyuk found the back of the net.

"We had more than enough chances," Babcock said. "We didn't have
much puck luck."

Facing a stingy Montreal defense might not be the best way for
Detroit to get its offense back on track.

The Canadiens (11-11-0) have limited opponents to two goals or
fewer in five straight games, including Friday night's 3-2 win
over Washington.

Carey Price made 32 saves against the Capitals and withstood a
furious comeback over the game's final minutes.

With Washington adding an extra attacker to a power play, Price
lost his stick and Montreal had trouble clearing the puck.
Somehow Price and the Canadiens, who were outshot 27-8 over the
last two periods, held on to record back-to-back victories for
the first time since a season-best four-game winning streak Oct.
20-26.

"The last 3 1/2 minutes were kind of hectic," coach Jacques
Martin said. "But up to that point I felt we were managing the
game well."

Price has made four consecutive starts for Montreal, going 3-1-0
with a 1.96 goals-against average, but has yet to start games on
successive nights. That may mean backup Jaroslav Halak will get
a turn in goal for the Canadiens, who are trying to move over
.500 for the first time since they were 6-5-0 on Oct. 26.

Halak, 5-2-0 with a 2.47 GAA in his last seven starts, has never
faced the Red Wings. Price is 1-1-0 with a 2.50 GAA in two
career starts against Detroit.

In the only meeting between these teams last season, Price made
32 saves in a 3-1 victory Nov. 26 at Joe Louis Arena.

Montreal left wing Michael Cammalleri, who scored his
team-leading ninth goal Friday, had a goal and four assists in
four games against the Red Wings last season while with Calgary.

Detroit's Chris Osgood made 18 saves Friday after missing the
previous three games with the flu.

Osgood, who hasn't started against the Canadiens since Jan. 13,
2004, when he stopped 23 shots in a 5-2 loss, has yet to play on
consecutive nights this season, so backup Jimmy Howard could be
in net for this contest.

After playing in nine games and winning only once over the
previous three seasons with Detroit, Howard is looking
comfortable between the pipes in 2009-10. He has played in nine
games and went 3-1-0 with a 2.26 GAA while Osgood was out sick.

This will be Detroit's first game in Montreal since a 4-1 win
Dec. 4, 2007, when Datsyuk had two goals and an assist.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[By JOSEPH WHITE
AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON(AP) -- The Montreal Canadiens were leading by a goal
late in the game, ready to pull off a road upset of the
Washington Capitals.

Then Maxim Lapierre gets sent off for hooking with 1:52 left.
The Capitals pull their goaltender for the final minute.
Montreal netminder Carey Price loses his stick.

And the Canadiens can't clear the zone. They are under siege
with no stoppage in sight.

Talk about a frenzied two-minute drill.

"It felt like we were in our own end for 10 minutes," Price said
after Montreal's 3-2 victory Friday night. "There was a lot of
red out there. Especially when I lost my stick. I've got six
players against four with no stick. That makes it pretty tough."

Somehow Price and the Canadiens held on. The closest Washington
came to tying it was when Mike Green rattled the right post in
the final seconds. Montreal won for only the third time in nine
road games, despite getting outshot 27-8 over the last two
periods.

"The last 3 1/2 minutes were kind of hectic," Canadiens coach
Jacques Martin said. "But up to that point I felt we were
managing the game well."

Travis Moen and Tomas Plekanec scored in a three-minute span
early in the second period, and Michael Cammalleri added a
power-play goal in the third for the Canadiens. Price finished
with 32 saves.

Eric Fehr and Brendan Morrison scored for the Capitals, and
Michal Neuvirth made 19 saves in his season debut. Neuvirth got
the call because veteran Jose Theodore is dealing with personal
issues and youngster Semyon Varlamov got a day off in the first
half of a back-to-back.

"It's easy to rip on your players when you lose to a team that's
below you in the standings," Washington coach Bruce Boudreau
said, "but I thought Montreal played a strong game. The biggest
thing was I didn't think we were ready at the start of the game.
We were flat. ... We went out there and thought it was going to
be an easy win."

After the game, it was again time to count the injuries between
two teams already dealing with too many ailing bodies. Montreal
center Scott Gomez sustained a lower body injury, and Moen had
an undisclosed injury. Martin said he had no word yet on either
player, and that both would be evaluated Saturday.

For the Capitals, Tom Poti left early with an upper body injury,
adding his name to a list that includes Alexander Semin (wrist),
Mike Knuble (broken finger), Boyd Gordon (back), Milan Jurcina
(lower body), Quintin Laing (broken jaw) and Shaone Morrisonn
(upper body).

Washington took a first-period lead when Fehr beat Price
glove-side through traffic from the left circle, but the
Canadiens came back with a pair of goals not long after the
first intermission.

Moen tied it when he redirected Roman Hamrlik's drive from the
blue line, and Plekanec made it 2-1 with a close-range shot that
appeared to hit Morrison's hand and then trickled through
Neuvirth's legs. Montreal recorded only four shots in the second
period, but two found the net.

The Canadiens also didn't have a power play in the first two
periods - in fact, they have not drawn more than four advantages
in their last 12 games - but they capitalized in the third after
Brooks Laich went off for tripping. Cammalleri, who had scored
one goal in his previous six games, netted his ninth of the
season during the man advantage with 7:31 remaining to put
Montreal ahead 3-1.

Then Morrison scored with 2:32 remaining to pull Washington
within a goal, setting up the furious finish.

"We turned it on at the end," Morrison said. "But it was too
little, too late."

NOTES: D Ryan O'Byrne returned for the Canadiens after missing
19 games with a lower body injury, and RW Georges Laraque was
back after sitting out 13 games with an upper body injury. ...
Washington D John Carlson made his NHL debut. The 27th overall
pick in the 2008 draft, the 19-year-old Carlson is the youngest
Capitals player to make his debut since Semin in the 2003-04
season.]]></description>

STATS Senior Writer

Montreal (10-11-0) at Washington (13-4-4), 7:00 p.m. EDT

After missing more than two weeks with an injury, Alex Ovechkin
wasted little time finding the back of the net in his return to
the ice.

In his first game in Washington since the start of November,
Ovechkin looks to help the Southeast Division-leading Capitals
win their fourth straight home game Friday night against a
Montreal Canadiens team that has had little success on the road.

Ovechkin missed six games because of an upper-body injury,
believed to be a strained left shoulder, but came back with a
flourish in a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday.
Playing his 15th game, Ovechkin scored his 15th goal with 4:56
left in the first period while the Capitals were on the power
play.

"It's always nice when you get hurt and you come back and you
score in the first period on your first shot," said Ovechkin,
who is tied with the Rangers' Marian Gaborik for the league
lead. "You feel pretty good about yourself. After that I feel
pretty cool. I was not afraid to take some hits and go battle."

Washington (13-4-4), which went 4-2-0 while Ovechkin was out,
has earned at least one point in the last 10 games the two-time
reigning league MVP has played (7-0-3).

This will be Ovechkin's first game at the Verizon Center since
suffering the injury in a 5-4 overtime loss to Columbus on Nov.
1. The Capitals have totaled 15 goals in winning three games in
the nation's capital since.

Although Ovechkin has returned, Washington is still a little
banged-up.

Left wing Quintin Laing - out three games earlier this season
with swine flu - is expected to miss up to six weeks with a
broken jaw suffered Tuesday and Alexander Semin could miss his
second straight game with a sore right wrist.

Semin, who was wearing a brace during Wednesday's practice, is
tied with Brooks Laich for second on the team with nine goals.

Goaltender Jose Theodore returned to practice Wednesday after
missing Tuesday's game due to personal matters, but his status
is uncertain for this contest. Theodore spent his first 8 1/2
seasons in the NHL with the Canadiens (10-11-0), winning the
Hart and Vezina Trophies in 2002.

He recorded a 1.44 goals-against average with one shutout in
winning both starts against his former team last season.

Semyon Varlamov has been stellar in net as Theodore's
replacement this season, going 8-1-0 with a 2.59 GAA in 10
games. In his only career start against Montreal on Dec. 13,
Varlamov stopped 32 shots in a 2-1 victory.

The Capitals went 3-1-0 against the Canadiens last season with
Ovechkin recording two goals and two assists.

Montreal is coming off Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over Carolina,
its second victory in five games.

Carey Price, who tied a team record with 53 saves in Saturday's
2-0 loss at Nashville, turned aside 30 shots and stopped all six
Carolina attempts in the tie-breaker. Maxim Lapierre scored the
winner in the shootout after Andrei Kostitsyn drew Montreal even
17:14 into the third.

"We didn't play the way we wanted in the first two periods but
we got the two points, that's the only thing that matters right
now," Lapierre said.

Montreal is trying to notch back-to-back victories for the first
time since winning a season-best four straight from Oct. 20-26.
Accomplishing this could be difficult on the road, though.

The Canadiens are 2-6-0 away from Montreal since Oct. 6,
tallying two goals or fewer in six of those contests. They've
also lost three straight in Washington.

Price is 0-0-2 with a 3.82 GAA in two career starts against the
Capitals.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[MONTREAL(AP) -- Carey Price threw everything he had into stopping
the Carolina Hurricanes' last gasp in the shootout, and it was
just barely enough to seal a win for the Montreal Canadiens.

Price stopped all six Carolina attempts in the tie-breaker,
Maxim Lapierre scored the winner and Montreal beat the
Hurricanes 3-2 Tuesday night.

Price stopped Tuomo Ruutu, Jussi Jokinen, Rod Brind'Amour,
Sergei Samsonov and Bryan Rodney before Lapierre finally beat
Carolina's Manny Legace on Montreal's sixth attempt. Price then
got enough of Matt Cullen's shot off a deke on the Hurricanes'
next attempt to leave the puck on the goal line to the delight
of the sell-out crowd.

"I think it hit the last part of the steel on my skate," Price
said. "It hit me right in the toenail."

As pleased as he was to deliver the shootout winner, Lapierre
suggested that Price's final save capped the evening.

"I would say the last shot with the puck on the red line,
spinning, was pretty exciting," Lapierre said. "I just tried to
keep my speed the whole way. That was the plan, go fast and
shoot high, and I had him."

Price, who tied a team record with 53 saves Saturday, stopped 30
shots, including consecutive saves on Brandon Sutter and Erik
Cole during the waning seconds of overtime while Carolina
enjoyed a 4-on-3 advantage.

Montreal was left short-handed 3:01 into overtime after Jaroslav
Spacek was assessed a double minor for high-sticking Hurricanes
defenseman Joe Corvo.

Andrei Kostitsyn drew Montreal even 17:14 into the third.
Kostitsyn chased down his own rebound behind the Hurricanes' net
and banked a shot in off Legace's skate from behind the goal
line for his second goal of the season.

Max Pacioretty also scored for the Canadiens, who ended a
three-game losing streak at home.

"We didn't play the way we wanted in the first two periods but
we got the two points, that's the only thing that matters right
now," Lapierre said.

Sutter and Jokinen scored 2:52 apart in the second period as
Carolina came within 2:46 of recording its second regulation win
of the season.

"That's the way hockey is," Sutter said. "It's not very often
that you get up by a goal and you hold them off all game. We had
a chance to go up by a couple, we didn't, and they ended up
coming back."

The Hurricanes ending a franchise-record skid at 14 games with a
5-4 shootout win over Minnesota on Sunday.

Michael Leighton made 10 saves before leaving 7:12 into the
second period because of a lower-body injury. Legace stopped 23
shots the rest of the way.

"Manny did great in net there and obviously shootouts can go
either way, so it's a tough one," Sutter said.

Already missing top center Eric Staal and goalie Cam Ward
because of injury, Carolina was also without Scott Walker and
Joni Pitkanen, who were both hurt Sunday.

Aaron Ward returned to the Hurricanes' lineup after missing
Sunday's game because of a lower-body injury.

Pacioretty opened the scoring 5:41 in when he took Tomas
Plekanec's centering pass from the left side and put a shot from
the slot past Leighton's right pad.

Sutter scored his fifth of the season 3:28 into the second to
draw Carolina even. Jokinen got his fifth at 6:20 to put the
Hurricanes up 2-1.

Sutter tied it when he got behind Montreal defenseman Josh
Gorges to create a 2-on-1, beating Price after he took Ray
Whitney's return pass.

Cullen intercepted Spacek's clearing pass in the neutral zone on
the play that led to Jokinen's go-ahead goal.

NOTES: F Stephane Yelle was back in the Hurricanes' lineup after
leaving Sunday's game with an undisclosed injury. ... Legace
stopped Mike Cammalleri, Scott Gomez, Kostitsyn, Plekanec and
Guillaume Latendresse in the shootout.]]></description>

STATS Writer

Carolina (3-12-4) at Montreal (9-11-0), 7:30 p.m. EDT

Although the longest losing streak in franchise history is
finally over, the banged-up Carolina Hurricanes still have
plenty of problems entering Tuesday night's visit to Montreal.

The Canadiens, however, are also struggling as they try to snap
a three-game home losing streak and beat the Hurricanes in
regulation at Bell Centre for the first time in nearly six
years.

After Carolina (3-12-4) dropped 14 straight games during a
0-10-4 stretch that lasted more than a month, the team's first
victory since Oct. 9 certainly didn't come easily.

The Hurricanes led Minnesota 4-1 on Sunday night before the Wild
scored three goals, but Jussi Jokinen tallied the only goal in
the shootout to give Carolina a 5-4 win.

"It has been such a long time, it's relief more than anything,"
winger Ray Whitney told the Hurricanes' official Web site. "You
still scratch your head as to why we gave up a three-goal lead
but in the end we'll take what we got."

The club, already playing without top forward Eric Staal and
stalwart goaltender Cam Ward due to injuries, had a few other
players added to the injury list from the victory.

While defenseman Aaron Ward was scratched for the game with a
lower-body injury, three other players - Joni Pitkanen, Scott
Walker and Stephane Yelle - left with undisclosed injuries.

The Hurricanes are already having trouble replacing Cam Ward,
who is out for several weeks after his leg was cut by a skate
Nov. 7 at Columbus. While Manny Legace started and lost the
first two games after the team acquired him in the wake of
Ward's injury, backup Michael Leighton earned the victory Sunday
despite allowing four goals on 32 shots.

"I just told (assistant coach Tom) Barrasso that I don't know
what's going on but all I want is a chance to play," Leighton
said. "He said, 'You'll get your chance,' and tonight was my
chance and I took advantage of it with a win. We've got to get
back into this thing because we're pretty far behind."

Montreal (9-11-0) is also fading in the standings thanks to a
3-6-0 mark in its last nine games, a stretch that includes just
one regulation win.

The team is attempting to bounce back from perhaps its worst
effort of the season in a 2-0 loss at Nashville on Saturday
night. The Canadiens were outshot 55-20 in the game, with goalie
Carey Price tying a franchise record with 53 saves.

"He performed well, there is no doubt," coach Jacques Martin
said of Price. "It's unfortunate that his teammates didn't take
advantage of a performance like that."

The struggles were nothing new for Montreal's offense, which was
also blanked in a 1-0 home loss to Calgary last Tuesday after a
3-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Nov. 7. The Canadiens are 0-3-0 at home
in November after winning their last five at Bell Centre in the
previous month.

The Hurricanes are 7-0-1 at Montreal since the NHL lockout, and
they haven't lost at Bell Centre in regulation since a 3-1
defeat on Dec. 6, 2003.

The Canadiens probably won't have an easier time scoring goals
if winger Brian Gionta remains out for any length of time. The
newcomer, tied for the team lead with eight goals, missed his
first game of the season with a lower-body injury Saturday.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Predators blank Canadiens 2-0]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) -- A record-breaking night for the Nashville
Predators left them feeling victorious, while a record-tying
night for Carey Price left him with a loss.

Steve Sullivan scored two goals and Pekka Rinne made 20 saves to
lead the Predators to a 2-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens
on Saturday night.

Nashville outshot Montreal 55-20 and the Predators have won two
straight and six of their past eight. Montreal has dropped four
of six. The 55 shots are a franchise record for Nashville.

Rinne got his second shutout of the season and ninth of his
career. Sullivan had just two goals in the team's first 17 games
of the season. Price made a career-high 53 saves for Montreal.
The 53 saves tied Wayne Thomas' Canadiens record for most saves
in a game. Thomas did it March 10, 1974 in a 5-4 win at
Pittsburgh.

"They threw a lot of pucks at the net tonight," Price said.
"Records aside, we were here to get two points, not a record."

"He performed well, there is no doubt," Canadiens coach Jacques
Martin said of his goaltender. "It's unfortunate that his
teammates didn't take advantage of a performance like that."

Sullivan scored his first goal at 10:48 of the opening period
when he collected a rebound of his own shot and was able to beat
Price with a backhand.

The Predators set a franchise record with 24 shots on goal in
the first period. The previous record for shots in a period was
23 set Feb. 28, 2004, against the New York Rangers.

"It's just the mindset, you break down teams' defense when you
put it on net," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "They are
scrambling for pucks, they are reaching, and we are being firm
in their offensive zone."

J.P. Dumont was credited with the only assist on Sullivan's
goal. Dumont leads the Predators in points this season with 12.

"I'm not going to lie, I really feel comfortable with J.P., and
I find that he really settles the play down for us in the
offensive end," Sullivan said. "He's so good at puck protection
and nifty little passes that when you are open, you are getting
the puck."

Sullivan made it 2-0 at 12:59 of the third period.

With the Predators on a 5-on-3 power play, Price stopped a slap
shot from Nashville defenseman Shea Weber, but the rebound came
right to Sullivan in the left circle where he fired a one-timer
by Price on the stick side.

Rinne has won six of his last seven and improved his record on
the season to 6-4-0.

"The guys on defense did a great job, I didn't have to face too
many shots," Rinne said. "Obviously you have your good saves and
your moments, but it was one of the easier games that we have
had this year so far."&gt;

Notes: The Canadiens made their first trip to Nashville since
Feb. 22, 2007. ... Montreal right wing Brian Gionta missed his
first game of the season with a lower-body injury. ...
Saturday's game was the first of five consecutive home games for
the Predators. They play seven of their remaining eight November
games at home.]]></description>

STATS Writer

Montreal (9-10-0) at Nashville (8-8-1), 8:00 p.m. EDT

A renewed scoring punch has helped Nashville Predators recover
from a slow start. The Montreal Canadiens, meanwhile, can't seem
to find much traction so far.

The Predators will try for their seventh win in 10 games as they
host the inconsistent Canadiens on Saturday night.

After opening the season with consecutive victories, Nashville
had six goals during an 0-5-1 skid but has rebounded to score
three or more in six games since snapping that losing streak
Oct. 22.

The Predators (8-8-1) earned a split of their four-game road
trip with a 3-1 victory at St. Louis on Thursday night. Jordin
Tootoo's unassisted score with 3:43 remaining broke a 1-all tie,
and David Legwand added an empty netter for his first goal of
the season.

Patric Hornqvist also scored for the second straight game to tie
Shea Weber for the team lead with five goals.

"We stayed persistent for 60 minutes and it paid off," coach
Barry Trotz said. "It was a good effort especially on the road."

Fourteen different players have scored Nashville's 25 goals in
the past nine games, with Weber's four leading the way. J.P.
Dumont has assisted on seven of those goals and scored twice to
take over the team's points lead (11).

The Canadiens got their power play back on track to snap a
two-game slide with Thursday night's 4-2 win at Phoenix.
Montreal (9-10-0) scored on both of its opportunities after
going 1 for 16 with a man advantage in its previous six games.

Marc-Andre Bergeron and Glen Metropolit scored 1:02 apart in the
third period as the Canadiens doubled their goal production from
their previous three games, and Carey Price earned his second
win in three starts - after losing six in a row - by stopping 18
shots.

"There are two factors in determining a game - special teams and
goaltending," coach Jacques Martin said. "Both of them tonight
were key factors."

Montreal suffered similar difficulties finding the net during
its two other losing streaks. It was outscored 20-9 during a
five-game skid Oct. 6-17, and 9-3 while dropping consecutive
games Oct. 28-30.

In between those two slides, the Canadiens produced 14 goals
during a four-game win streak. Until Thursday's win, the only
victories in the previous seven games came via shootouts.

Montreal will make its first trip to Nashville since a 6-5
shootout win on Feb. 22, 2007, and will try to improve on its
4-0-1 mark over the Predators since the start of the 2002-03
season.

The Canadiens earned a 3-2 win at home last season and are 7-2-1
with one tie all-time against Nashville. Andrei Kostitsyn
tallied the go-ahead goal in the second period, and Andrei
Markov added another score early in the third.

Jaroslav Halak, who has shared time with Price, earned the
victory and could start again Saturday. He was in net during
Montreal's previous game at Nashville.

The Predators have also split up goaltending duties this season,
and Pekka Rinne or Dan Ellis will try to help them earn their
first home win over the Canadiens since March 23, 2002.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Bergeron, Metropolit help Canadiens beat Coyotes]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[GLENDALE, Ariz.(AP) -- The Montreal Canadiens finally got their
power play rolling.

Marc-Andre Bergeron and Glen Metropolit scored 1:02 apart in the
third period, the second goal on the power play, and Carey Price
made 18 saves in the Canadiens' 4-2 victory over the Phoenix
Coyotes on Thursday night.

"In the NHL, it's pretty much how you win games," Bergeron said.
"We wanted to focus on the power play and penalty kill and they
gave us the win."

Michael Cammalleri had a power-play goal, Brian Gionta also
scored, and Tomas Plekanec had three assists for Montreal. The
Canadiens snapped a two-game losing streak and won for just the
third time in eight games.

Montreal was a perfect 2-for-2 on the power play after scoring
only once in its past 16 chances over six games.

"There are two factors in determining a game - special teams and
goaltending," coach Jacques Martin said. "Both of them tonight
were key factors."

Paul Bissonnette scored his first career goal, and Robert Lang
also scored for Phoenix. The Coyotes have lost four of five.

"We struggled moving the puck out of our end, we struggled
moving the puck through the neutral zone and we didn't generate
a whole lot," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "There were not a
lot of shots and not a lot of quality scoring opportunities."

Bergeron made it 2-1 at 5:10 of the third after Plekanec won a
faceoff to the left of goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. Bergeron circled
back to the blue line before striding to the top of the left
circle and firing a wrist shot just under the crossbar.

Metropolit made it 3-1 at 6:12, standing untouched on the right
doorstep and taking a pass from Plekanec before flipping the
puck into the net.

Bissonnette pulled the Coyotes within a goal at 9:30,
redirecting Shaun Heshka's long shot past Price. Replays
indicated Bissonnette had directed the puck into the net with
his skate, but video officials upheld the score after a lengthy
review.

Gionta added an empty-netter with 41.8 seconds to go.

"We gave them a few opportunities and they buried them," Lang
said.

Cammalleri gave Montreal a 1-0 lead at 7:07 of the first period,
taking a pass from Plekanec just to the right of Bryzgalov and
scoring before defenseman James Vandermeer was able to get in
position.

"Usually when you make two passes of that caliber on the power
play, the puck's going to end up in the back of the net,"
Cammalleri said.

Lang tied it at 10:54 of the period after Price was knocked
backward by the stick of teammate Paul Mara. Lang took a pass
from Radim Vrbata from behind the net and shot into the open top
of the net as Price lay prone on the ice.

"I got it right in my jugular," Price said. "Sometimes you can't
really see anything. You're trying to battle and trying to watch
your guy and sticks go everywhere."

NOTES: The announced attendance was 10,064, the fourth-highest
total in nine home games this season. ... Heshka's assist was
his first NHL point. ... The Coyotes have lost two straight for
the fourth time but have yet to lose three in a row. ...
Montreal has not lost in Phoenix since Dec. 9, 1998. The
Canadiens are 10-2-4 against the Coyotes since the franchise
moved to Phoenix before the 1996-97 season. ... Phoenix
defensemen Ed Jovanovski and Zbynek Michalek missed the game
because of lower-body injuries.]]></description>

STATS Senior Writer

Montreal (8-10-0) at Phoenix (10-7-0), 9:00 p.m. EDT

Teams have had an easy time shutting down Montreal's offense,
especially over the past week. The Phoenix Coyotes and their
banged-up blue line, though, know better than to take the
Canadiens lightly.

The Coyotes, who have been playing without three of their top
defensemen, look to end a five-game losing streak against the
struggling Canadiens on Thursday night.

Montreal (8-10-0) has scored one goal in losing two straight
following a 2-1 shootout win over Boston last Thursday night.
The Canadiens, coming off a 1-0 loss to Calgary on Tuesday
night, have dropped five of seven and are among the worst in the
league with 2.33 goals per game.

"It's frustrating. We can't put a goal on the board," left wing
Mike Cammalleri said.

Cammalleri is tied for the team lead with 14 points (seven
goals, seven assists), but he's been held off the scoresheet in
three straight games. Canadiens center Scott Gomez hasn't scored
a goal in nine straight.

Montreal, though, has had little trouble scoring against Phoenix
(10-7-0) in past years.

The Coyotes have given up 21 goals in five straight losses to
the Canadiens since a 3-all tie Dec. 8, 2001. Phoenix is 2-9-0
with four ties versus Montreal since the franchise moved from
Winnipeg prior to the 1996-97 season.

Defense has been a strength for the Coyotes, allowing 2.29 goals
per game, but they have surrendered four or more in three of
their last four and have been plagued by injuries.

Ed Jovanovski missed a 4-3 loss to Anaheim on Saturday night
after sustaining a lower-body injury in a 3-1 victory over
Chicago last Thursday. The veteran defenseman has 13 points
(five goals, eight assists), one less than team leader Shane
Doan.

Phoenix was also without defensemen Zbynek Michalek (lower-body
injury) and Kurt Sauer (upper-body injury). Michalek has missed
two straight games, and Sauer has been out all season.

The trio's absence was too much to overcome against the Ducks,
as the Coyotes fell short after coming back from a 4-0 deficit.

"It's good to see that our team didn't quit, but we can't allow
teams to get a jump on us like that," defenseman Jim Vandermeer
said.

The Coyotes are coming off a much-needed break, getting four
days off before opening a three-game homestand. They're 5-3-0 at
Jobing.com Arena, surrendering two goals or fewer six times.

Jaroslav Halak has given up eight goals in two road starts for
the Canadiens. He has posted a 2.62 goals-against average in
eight overall starts, splitting time with 2005 first-round pick
Carey Price.

Price is 1-7-0 with a 3.56 GAA in his last eight starts. He's
2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA in two starts versus the Coyotes, while
Halak has never faced Phoenix.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Flames' Kiprusoff shuts out Canadiens]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[MONTREAL(AP) -- When Miikka Kiprusoff and Jarome Iginla both
produce, the Calgary Flames can get away with scoring only once.

Kiprusoff earned his first shutout of the season and Iginla
extended his goal-scoring streak to four games, leading Calgary
to a 1-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

Kiprusoff made 25 saves and improved to 10-3-1 this season as
Calgary won its fourth straight to begin a three-game trip. It
was his 31st NHL shutout, his first since Feb. 12, when he
turned aside 36 shots in a 2-0 win over Los Angeles.

"It's always nice. It says a lot about how your team plays in
front of you, too," Kiprusoff said.

Named the NHL's first star of the week on Monday, Iginla scored
his team-leading ninth goal at 14:55.

Iginla, who has scored five times during the streak, took a
return pass from Olli Jokinen and put a shot through traffic
past Jaroslav Halak from the top of the right circle for the
game's lone goal.

"It's a good spot to shoot from, lots of things can happen,"
Iginla said. "It was a quick give-and-go and we just got them
turning a little bit."

Halak stopped 30 shots for Montreal, which has lost its last
three games at home.

"It's tough but sometimes it happens in hockey," Halak said.
"You just have to find a way to score a goal."

The Canadiens, who lost 4-3 in Calgary on Oct. 6, have dropped
five of seven overall.

"It's frustrating. We can't put a goal on the board," said left
winger Mike Cammalleri, who led the Flames with 39 goals last
season before signing a five-year deal with Montreal as an
unrestricted free agent.

Flames forward Curtis Glencross sat out the first game of his
three-game suspension. Glencross was suspended by the NHL on
Monday for his hit to the head of Chris Drury of the New York
Rangers in Calgary's 3-1 win Saturday.

Rene Bourque drew his 12th assist of the season to increase his
team-leading point total to 18.

"He's been playing like a horse," Iginla said. "He took two guys
on him and then I think it went to Olli, then myself. We were
trying to keep it off the wall for a quick give-and-go.

"There wasn't a lot of room on the pass that Olli gave me for
him to get it through but good passers make those."

The sellout crowd of 21,273 came to life during a wild stretch
of 4-on-4 play in the second that saw Montreal's Scott Gomez go
in on a breakaway and deke Kiprusoff, only to lose control of
the puck with an opportunity to shoot over the goalie's right
pad into an open left side.

"Oh yeah, he had me big time," Kiprusoff said. "I was lucky
there."

Kiprusoff protected his shutout with a fine stop on Cammalleri
just over 4 minutes into the third.

"He likes to shoot the puck a lot and you never know what he's
going to do," Kiprusoff said.

The Canadiens, who will celebrate their 100th anniversary on
Dec. 4, wore retro uniforms patterned after those worn by the
1910-11 team. Strikingly similar to the Minnesota Wild's look,
the red-white-and-green throwback jerseys feature a green maple
leaf crest on the front.

"We see the Minnesota Wild a lot and there were some
similarities for sure with the colors, but we knew we were in
Montreal," Iginla said. "It's a good atmosphere in here and the
crowd gets going. They're on every hit and into the play and
stuff. It's definitely another fun building to play in."

NOTES: Kiprusoff had four shutouts last season. ... Flames D
Adam Pardy fought Montreal's Travis Moen 10:38 in. Canadiens RW
Ryan White and Calgary's Eric Nystrom got fighting majors later
in the first. ... The Canadiens, founded on Dec. 4, 1909, wore
light brown gloves to evoke the look of old leather. Montreal
went 8-8 in 1910-11 during the team's second season in the
National Hockey Association, the NHL's predecessor. ...
Canadiens D Jay Leach played his first game since he was claimed
off waivers from New Jersey on Friday.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[By MATT BEARDMORE
STATS Writer

Calgary (10-4-1) at Montreal (8-9-0), 7:30 p.m. EDT

After a relatively quiet October, Jarome Iginla is making plenty
of noise in November.

So are the Calgary Flames.

Opening a three-game trip Tuesday night, Iginla and the Flames
look for their fourth consecutive victory as they take on a
Montreal Canadiens club that's dropped four of six.

Iginla, who led Calgary with 89 points in 2008-09, scored his
first goal of the new season in a 4-3 win over the visiting
Canadiens on Oct. 6, but he only found the back of the net three
more times in the opening month as Calgary finished October
7-4-1.

The Flames' captain, though, will now take a three-game goal
scoring streak into the Bell Centre after being named the NHL's
first star of the week. Iginla notched an assist and a
league-high four goals as Calgary (10-4-1) won three straight to
begin November.

"We had some big road wins (at Dallas and St. Louis last week),
and we started to play a little more disciplined and tighter
defensively," said Iginla, who leads the Flames with eight goals
and is second on the club in points with 14, trailing Rene
Bourque (17). "Fortunately, some are going in this week."

Iginla, Bourque and Daymond Langkow scored in Saturday's 3-1
victory over the New York Rangers, with Nigel Dawes assisting on
all three goals - a career high in assists for the fourth-year
forward.

Calgary is 4-1-1 on the road, and seeking its third straight
victory away from the Pengrowth Saddledome. The Flames, though,
have dropped four straight in Montreal - most recently a 4-1
loss last Dec. 9 - since their last win there, a 3-1 victory
Dec. 13, 2000.

"We've got to carry over what we did on the road (last week),"
said Iginla, who had a goal in the win nine years ago. "On the
road, as a group, we battled harder."

Calgary will be without forward Curtis Glencross, who was
suspended by the league Monday for three games after a hit on
the Rangers' Chris Drury in Saturday's win.

"My intent was to impede that process and it unfortunately
resulted in an awkward collision with Drury," Glencross told the
Flames' official Web site.

Glencross' absence may not hurt the Flames' cause much against
the slumping Canadiens (8-9-0), who are 2-4-0 since winning four
straight Oct. 20-26.

Montreal has also dropped two in a row at the Bell Centre,
including Saturday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

"I thought our second period was good, the start of the first
was all right but we've given up goals late in periods, two of
them tonight," Brian Gionta said after tying teammate Michael
Cammalleri for the club lead with his seventh goal. "That hurts
the momentum and we've got to figure out a way to play better
for 60 (minutes)."

Cammalleri, who had an assist in the Oct. 6 loss at Calgary,
faces his former Flames teammates in Montreal for the first time
since signing a five-year deal with the Canadiens in the
offseason.

Cammalleri led Calgary with 39 goals last season, and his 82
points were second to Iginla.

Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves against the
Canadiens last month, but is 0-3-0 with a 4.05 GAA in three
career starts in Montreal.

With Carey Price 1-7-1 with a 3.66 GAA in his last nine
appearances, Jaroslav Halak could get the start in goal for the
Canadiens. He stopped 24 Calgary shots in the teams' meeting
last month.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Tampa Bay ends trip with 3-1 win over Canadiens]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[MONTREAL(AP) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated as though they
had scored a key goal. And after further review, they had.

Ryan Malone and Alex Tanguay each had a goal and an assist to
lead Tampa Bay to a 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on
Saturday night.

James Wright also scored for the Lightning, which went 2-0-1
after dropping the opener of a four-game road trip at
Philadelphia on Monday.

Wright restored the Lightning's two-goal lead late in the second
when he got credit for his second goal of the season on a goal
mouth scramble that required a video review.

Despite the fact that the red light never went on, Tampa Bay
celebrated after the puck went off Montreal defenseman Josh
Gorges and crossed the goal line while the net was being
dislodged. "If you're going to sell it you might as well do it
the whole way, right? You go line up at center ice, too," Wright
said.

Referee Dennis LaRue barely pointed at the puck in the net
before making his way to the scorekeeper's bench. After
reviewing the play by phone with the NHL office in Toronto,
LaRue announced that his ruling stood.

"When he said, '... the ruling on the ice stands,' I didn't
think he had called it a goal so I thought he was calling it off
and I was a little bit down for a second," Wright said. "Then I
saw everybody on our bench standing up so I was celebrating,
too."

Antero Niittymaki made 36 saves in his third straight start for
the Lightning (6-4-5).

"He's really solid," coach Rick Tocchet said. "He's seeing the
puck and he's square and he's really given us a chance to win."

Brian Gionta scored his seventh goal for Montreal (8-9-0), which
has lost four of six.

"It was an inconsistent effort the first half of the game,"
Gionta said. "I thought our second period was good, the start of
the first was all right but we've given up goals late in
periods, two of them tonight. That hurts the momentum and we've
got to figure out a way to play better for 60 (minutes)."

Carey Price, who stopped 18 shots, fell to 3-7.

Malone opened the scoring with his 10th goal in 15 games on a
power play at 10:09.

Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier recorded his second
straight assist when Tanguay's third goal of the season put
Tampa Bay up 2-0 with 46.3 seconds left in the first.

Tanguay, who signed a one-year deal with the Lightning after he
failed to receive an offer from Montreal, scored for the second
straight game when he flipped a rebound of Malone's shot from
the left side past Price for his third goal.

Gionta drew the Canadiens within 2-1 with a power-play goal
midway through the second.

The Lightning regained their two-goal margin after Wright got
credit for his second of the season at 18:02.

Limited to one point in his first seven games with Tampa Bay,
Tanguay earned an assist on Wright's goal for his seventh point
in six games.

"It's coming around," Tanguay said. "The last five or six games
I'm starting to pick up my game a little bit and starting to
skate a little better, and tonight I got a couple of bounces
coming my way."

NOTES: Rookie Lightning D Victor Hedman didn't play. Hedman,
chosen second overall by Tampa Bay in this year's draft, sat out
for precautionary reasons after a hit by Ottawa's Chris Neil
knocked him out of Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Senators.
... Montreal C Kyle Chipchura and LW Gregory Stewart were
healthy scratches for a second straight game in favor of C Tom
Pyatt and RW Ryan White, who made their NHL debuts Thursday. ...
D Jay Leach, picked up by Montreal off waivers from New Jersey
on Friday, didn't play.]]></description>

STATS Senior Writer

Tampa Bay (5-4-5) at Montreal (8-8-0), 7:00 p.m. EDT

Teams such as the Montreal Canadiens seem to thrive when a game
lasts past regulation. The Tampa Bay Lightning certainly haven't
been one of them.

Following their third shootout win of the season, the Canadiens
return home Saturday night to face a Lightning club that
continues to have a tough time late in games.

Montreal (8-8-0) has won two of three following consecutive
losses, earning both of those victories in shootouts. The
Canadiens beat Boston 2-1 on Thursday night, improving to 7-0-0
in games that have gone past regulation.

Tampa Bay is 1-0-5 in such contests, including a 3-2 overtime
loss to Ottawa on Thursday night. Two days earlier, though, the
Lightning beat Toronto 2-1 in OT.

Though Tampa Bay (5-4-5) has scored two goals or fewer in four
straight, captain Vincent Lecavalier thought the team's last
effort was a step in the right direction.

"I think it was a good game overall," he said.

The Lightning are 1-1-1 on a four-game stretch on the road,
where they are 1-4-2. Tampa Bay has scored two goals or fewer in
all of its games away from St. Pete Times Forum other than a 6-3
loss to Atlanta in its season opener Oct. 3.

Alex Tanguay, though, has been showing signs of improvement
following a poor start. The veteran winger, signed as a free
agent in September, has two goals and four assists in his last
seven games after registering one point - an assist versus the
Thrashers - in his first seven.

Steven Stamkos continues to impress. He scored a power-play goal
against the Senators after having an eight-game point streak
snapped Tuesday.

Stamkos, the first pick in the 2008 draft, already has 12 goals
after scoring 23 as a rookie last season. He had one assist in
four games against the Canadiens in 2008-09, as Tampa Bay went
2-0-2.

Antero Niittymaki has given up four goals or more in six of his
last seven games against Montreal. He stopped 26 shots versus
Ottawa in his second straight start.

Niittymaki is 3-1-2 with a 2.09 goals-against average. He's been
splitting time with Mike Smith, who is 2-3-3 with a 3.64 GAA.

Whoever is in goal won't have rookie defenseman Victor Hedman
helping them out on the blue line. Hedman, selected second
overall in this year's draft, is day to day after being leveled
by Ottawa's Chris Neil on a hit along the boards.

Montreal showed improvement defensively against Boston after
surrendering 18 goals in its previous four games. Carey Price
stopped 42 shots for his first win since beating Buffalo 2-1 on
the road Oct. 3.

Price is 3-6-0 with a 3.32 GAA.]]></description>

BOSTON(AP) -- For the Boston Bruins, a shootout loss was an
improvement over a shutout loss.

Patrice Bergeron's goal with 52 seconds left in regulation
helped the Bruins avoid a historic third straight shutout, but
Michael Cammalleri scored in the shootout to give the Montreal
Canadiens a 2-1 victory over Boston on Thursday night.

"We scored," Bruins forward Blake Wheeler said. "Obviously,
that's a positive we can take out of the game."

Boston had not scored in 192 minutes, 6 seconds, dating to
Vladimir Sobotka's goal at 7:02 of the third period against
Edmonton on Saturday. The Bruins had not been shut out in three
straight games since Eddie Shore and the 1928-29 squad - which
went on to earn Boston's first Stanley Cup title - scored just
once over five games from Feb. 2-14, 1929.

The Bruins were less than a minute away from matching the
ignominious feat when Bergeron, with goalie Tim Thomas pulled
for an extra attacker, stuffed the rebound of Zdeno Chara's shot
past Carey Price.

"At least it's out of our heads now," Bergeron said. "It's one
step forward to get that goal and get that point. But one point
is not good enough."

In the 700th game between the archrivals, Thomas made 25 saves,
giving up only Glen Metropolit's first-period goal and
Cammalleri's in the shootout. The Bruins earned a point against
the Canadiens for the eighth straight game, and Montreal has not
won in Boston in regulation since the end of the 2007-08 season.

Price stopped 42 Boston shots for his first win in more than a
month, but he failed to earn his first shutout in more than a
year.

"I hadn't won in six games, and that was not the time to get
upset," Price said. "I had to refocus in a hurry because if I
let it slip, then I lose another game."

Bergeron, who also had a goal disallowed in the second period,
couldn't convert in the shootout. When Mark Recchi was also
stopped, Price had his first win since the second game of the
season.

It was still 1-0 with 2:25 left in the second period when Marco
Sturm put the puck on Price's stick and Bergeron, trailing the
play, poked it in. The goal was put on the board but disallowed
after the video review.

"In my head there was a moment where you go, 'That figures,"'
Thomas said. "But then the other voice in my head rebounded
right away and said, 'No. We're not going to say, "Here we go
again." We've got to do something.' I was trying to send some
positive mental energy to the team to do something."

Bruins coach Claude Julien said he never saw his players feeling
sorry for themselves.

"I won't let that happen," he said. "It's our job to get
ourselves out of it. That's where we're at."

The Bruins were 0 for 3 on the power play, extending that
scoreless streak to 20 advantages over seven games; they are
last in the NHL on the power play.

NOTES: Montreal's Ryan White, who had an assist in the first
period, and Tom Pyatt both played their first NHL games. ...
Thomas took a puck off the goal line for a save with 11:35 left
in the second, and it held up under review. ... Montreal had
allowed at least one power-play goal in each of its previous
five games. ... Thomas' outlet pass sent the Bruins on a 3-on-1
break in the first period. Jaroslav Spacek helped break it up,
but went into the boards and was slow to get up.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[By MIKE LIPKA
STATS Writer

Montreal (7-8-0) at Boston (6-7-1), 7:00 p.m. EDT

As the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Bruins
quickly escorted the Montreal Canadiens out of the playoffs last
spring, but the banged-up Bruins look like a different team in
the midst of a major offensive drought.

The Canadiens, meanwhile, are having trouble stopping the puck
going into the archrivals' first meeting of the season, and
these struggling clubs will try to sort out their issues as they
face off Thursday night at the TD Garden.

Little went wrong for Boston during a dominating regular-season
run in 2008-09, but the Bruins (6-7-1) have been derailed by a
punchless offense that is playing without injured top-line
forwards Marc Savard and Milan Lucic. They also lost leading
goal scorer Phil Kessel to Toronto in the offseason.

Boston hasn't scored in more than 130 minutes after getting
blanked in back-to-back games on its recent road trip - the
first time that has happened to the Bruins since March 17 and
20, 2007.

They have scored a total of three goals in their last four
games, losing three times despite allowing five goals.

"We're going to have to decide that we're tired of hearing we
had a good effort without winning," coach Claude Julien said
after Tuesday night's 2-0 loss to Detroit.

Center David Krejci and former Montreal winger Michael Ryder are
among the most snake-bitten of the Bruins. Krejci has five
points after totaling 73 last season, and Ryder has been held
without a point in six straight games.

The Bruins announced Thursday that Krejci has been diagnosed
with swine flu and will be kept away from the team until he has
had no symptoms or fever for 24 hours.

Ryder was at his best against his former club in last season's
playoffs, totaling four goals and three assists in the four-game
sweep, which avenged three postseason defeats to Montreal this
decade and abruptly ended the Habs' 100th season.

Including playoffs, Boston won its final nine games against the
Canadiens last season after losing 13 in a row in one stretch in
the see-saw rivalry from 2007-08.

The Bruins could continue the run if they can exploit Montreal's
struggling defense, which has allowed 18 goals while losing
three of four - a surprising problem under defensive-minded
first-year coach Jacques Martin.

"What concerns me most is our lack of effectiveness in
protecting our goaltender," Martin said. "Part of that starts in
the offensive zone with back pressure - helping the defense -
but also in being more effective in the defensive zone."

Carey Price lost his sixth straight start and saw his
goals-against average swell to 3.63 on Tuesday as Montreal fell
5-4 at home to Atlanta.

Backup Jaroslav Halak could get his eighth start Thursday. Halak
has won five of his last six appearances, but he's 0-2-0 with a
4.83 GAA in two road starts.

With nine goals in their last two games, the Canadiens (7-8-0)
are starting to see some results offensively after they revamped
their top forward lines in the offseason. Newcomer Mike
Cammalleri scored his team-leading seventh goal against the
Thrashers, while Brian Gionta had his first two-goal game for
Montreal.

Last season's Habs couldn't mount much offense against Vezina
Trophy winner Tim Thomas, who was 8-0-1 with a 1.85 GAA versus
Montreal, including playoffs.

After a rough start to his season, Thomas has been rounding back
into form. He has posted a 1.70 GAA in his last three starts
even though he has lost all of them.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Peverley has 3 points, Thrashers beat Canadiens]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[MONTREAL(AP) -- After Colby Armstrong gave Atlanta a third-period
lead, the Thrashers hung on for their first regulation victory
at the Bell Centre in over five years.

Armstrong scored 13:14 into the third period and Atlanta beat
the Canadiens 5-4 on Tuesday night. His goal came 34 seconds
after Montreal drew even for the second time in the third.

"It is a tough building," Armstrong said. "I think it's an
exciting atmosphere and I think guys get up to play here, but at
the same time it is a nerve-racking place to play. To come in
here and play like we did tonight on the road, I thought we
played pretty well."

Rich Peverley had a goal and two assists, including his third
point of the game with a cross-crease setup pass on Pavel
Kubina's power-play goal that gave the Thrashers a 4-3 edge 4:10
into the third period.

"Every time they scored we seemed to come back and have a good
shift and kind of get back in the game," Peverley said. "That
showed a lot of character on our team."

Tomas Plekanec drew Montreal even at 4 with his fourth goal at
12:40.

Brian Gionta scored his second goal of the game earlier in the
third to draw the Canadiens even at 3 after Mike Cammalleri
launched Montreal's comeback bid when he scored his seventh goal
with 35.7 seconds left in the second.

"It was kind of a back-and-forth game and we just happened to, I
don't know, I guess get the last goal pretty much is what it
came down to," Armstrong said. "I think we'd like to play a
little bit tighter but at the same time it's just good to get
two points."

Ondrej Pavelec made 34 saves and Peverley increased his team
scoring lead to 16 points. Kubina, Bryan Little and Mark Popovic
each scored their first goal of the season for Atlanta, which
had two shootout wins in its previous nine games in Montreal.

The Thrashers (6-4-1), who played their third game without
injured captain Ilya Kovalchuk, won their second in a row
following a four-game losing streak.

Kovalchuk, who leads Atlanta with nine goals in eight games, was
lost for three to five weeks after he broke his foot in a 4-3
loss to San Jose on Thursday.

"He's one of the most dynamic players in the league," Peverley
said. "We have a lot of depth on our team this year. We've got
some key pieces up front, on the back end, and in goal, too, so
that just shows you the overall depth we have on our team right
now."

Montreal (7-8-0) ended a five-game winning streak at home. The
Canadiens had gone 7-0-2 against the Thrashers at the Bell
Centre since Atlanta's 4-1 win on Feb. 17, 2004.

Carey Price, who stopped 25 shots, saw his record drop to 2-6.

"You can put on a fake smile and say everything's O.K. but it is
frustrating," Price said. "They're not all bad goals that are
going in. I'll keep working and hopefully those good goals will
stop going in."

Gionta, who scored his fifth goal early in the second,
intercepted Christoph Schubert's pass and beat Pavelec for an
unassisted goal, his sixth of the season.

Peverley had a hand in both of Atlanta's goals late in the first
period.

Little, a 31-goal scorer last season, got credit for his first
of the season 17:34 in, when Peverley's shot deflected off his
stick past Price.

"It's good to get him a goal and get him on the scoresheet,"
Peverley said. "I think he's pretty happy. I think he's going to
get going now. He's a great player, he scored a lot of goals
last year for us."

Peverley made it 2-0 when he scored his seventh goal with 12.8
seconds left in the first.

Popovic scored 7:30 into the second to restore Atlanta's
two-goal lead at 3-1 after Gionta scored 2:51 into the middle
period.

Montreal drew within one again late in the second. Cammalleri
jumped on the puck after Peverley fanned on a pass in his own
zone and drove in alone to slip a shot under Pavelec's left pad
with 35.7 seconds left in the period.

NOTES: Peverley favored his left leg when he left the game
briefly after an awkward collision with Montreal defenseman
Jaroslav Spacek near the boards 38 seconds into the second. ...
Canadiens D Mathieu Carle made his NHL debut after he was
recalled from Hamilton of the AHL earlier in the day. Carle was
chosen 53rd overall by Montreal in the second round of the 2006
draft.]]></description>

STATS Senior Writer

Atlanta (5-4-1) at Montreal (7-7-0), 7:30 p.m. EDT

The Montreal Canadiens have thrived in games that have lasted
past regulation this season. They've rarely needed to put in
that type of extra effort to handle the Atlanta Thrashers at
home.

Winners of five straight at the Bell Centre, the Canadiens look
to continue their success there against the Thrashers on Tuesday
night.

Montreal (7-7-0) is undefeated at home since losing its first
two, winning its last contest at the Bell Centre 5-4 against
Toronto in a shootout Saturday.

Four of the Canadiens' wins at home and six overall have been in
overtime or a shootout.

"Our fans like OT and shootouts I guess," said winger Michael
Cammalleri, who joined Scott Gomez to score for Montreal in the
shootout versus the Maple Leafs.

The Canadiens beat the Thrashers (5-4-1) in a shootout in the
teams' last contest, 2-1 at the Bell Centre on Oct. 20.

Four of the teams' 19 meetings at Montreal have lasted past
regulation. The Canadiens are 2-0-2 in those matchups, 7-0-2 at
home versus the Thrashers since the start of 2005 and 14-3-2
against them there all-time.

Montreal scored a total of 16 goals in three straight regulation
home wins against Atlanta entering this season.

The Canadiens broke out of a scoring slump in their last
contest. They had scored a combined three goals in two straight
losses before getting scores from Glen Metropolit, Guillaume
Latendresse, Hal Gill and Roman Hamrlik against Toronto.

Metropolit has eight points (two goals, six assists) in eight
games after posting 17 in 76 last season.

Defensively, though, Montreal has been struggling, surrendering
13 goals in its last three.

Jaroslav Halak started two of those games, including the matchup
against Toronto. He improved to 5-0-0 at home despite allowing
four goals in the final two periods of regulation.

Halak is 5-2-0 with a 2.85 goals-against average, splitting time
with Carey Price (2-5-0, 3.44 GAA). Coach Jacques Martin has yet
to announce a starter for this contest.

"Ask any goalie and they'll tell you they just want to play,"
Halak said. "No matter who plays on Tuesday, we just have to get
as many wins and points as we can right now. I'm not too worried
about."

Atlanta got an outstanding effort Saturday from Ondrej Pavelec,
who stopped 50 shots in a 5-1 win at Ottawa.

Pavelec has made the most of Kari Lehtonen's absence due to back
surgery, going 4-3-1 with a 2.60 GAA. Pavelec, 22, had played in
19 NHL games entering this season and was hardly expecting to be
the Thrashers' No. 1 goalie.

He made 34 saves in regulation before surrendering shootout
goals to Gomez and Brian Gionta in the last matchup with
Montreal. It was his first appearance against the Canadiens.

Pavelec's strong play versus the Senators was the main reason
the Thrashers were able to snap a four-game losing streak.
Atlanta also found a way to finally get off to a strong start
offensively, leading 2-0 after two periods.

Opponents scored the first goal in seven of the Thrashers'
previous nine games.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[MONTREAL(AP) -- Mike Cammalleri and the Montreal Canadiens are
tough to beat when the game is tied after regulation.

Cammalleri and Scott Gomez scored in a shootout to lift the
Canadiens to a chippy 5-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs
on Saturday night after they squandered a two-goal lead in the
third period.

Six of Montreal's seven wins this season have come in overtime
or shootouts - including an OT win over the Leafs in the season
opener for both teams on Oct. 1 in Toronto.

"Our fans like OT and shootouts I guess," Cammalleri said. "We
didn't want to give them those two goals.

"We'd have liked to hold them off, but the big thing was to get
the win."

The Canadiens led 4-2 midway through the third, but Alexei
Ponikarovsky's second of the game and a last-minute goal from
Tomas Kaberle tied it with 54 seconds left in regulation.

Both Montreal shooters beat Vesa Toskala in the shootout.
Jaroslav Halak stopped Lee Stempniak and Kaberle in Toronto's
first shootout of the season.

Kaberle added three assists, giving him 13 points in his last
five games, including a five-point night against Anaheim on Oct.
26.

Wearing their brightly striped vintage jerseys from 1912-13, the
Canadiens got goals from Glen Metropolit, Guillaume Latendresse
and Hal Gill in the second period. Roman Hamrlik scored in the
third.

Stempniak also scored for Toronto (1-7-4), which ended a
five-game road trip with a 1-1-3 record.

Montreal (7-7-0) ended a two-game skid.

"I could throw out all the cliches, but we still have to find a
way to win," Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson said. "Which cliche do
you want? We never say die, blah, blah blah? We still need to
win."

After a sloppy but uneventful first period, Ponikarovsky knocked
in Kaberle's rebound on a power play 1:12 into the second.

But Metropolit, who has eight points in eight games this season,
scored 1:15 later.

Latendresse scored on Tomas Plekanec's rebound at 12:24 and
former Leafs defenseman Gill netted his first since joining
Montreal in the summer.

Stempniak closed the gap to 3-2 with 4:44 left in the period on
a point shot that beat Halak cleanly.

Hamrlik was at the far post to put in Gomez's shot just after a
power play ended at 9:50 of the third period. It was the 20th
goal allowed by Toskala in four starts this season and 23rd in
five appearances.

Ponikarovsky scored his second of the game with 3:28 left.

The Leafs called a timeout with 1 minute remaining and sent out
six attackers. Kaberle's point shot went off Jaroslav Spacek's
skate and slid inside the far post to tie it.

"He's doing a great job," Wilson said of Kaberle. "He's picking
up points by the bushel on the power play, which has been pretty
good."

The Leafs went 2 for 6 on the power play and are 9 for 25 with
the advantage in their last five games.

Former Canadiens defenseman Mike Komisarek nailed Metropolit
with an open-ice hit early in the second period, leading to
another melee. The crowd booed loudly each time Komisarek hit
the ice. He left Montreal to sign as a free agent in Toronto in
the summer.

"That was a rivalry game," said Cammalleri, a Toronto native.
"There was no love lost.

"There were words exchanged that I can't repeat. There was blood
on the ice. There were fights in the seats from what I could
see. That's a rivalry game."

There was a scoreboard tribute to former Canadiens great Jacques
Plante, who became the first goaltender to wear a mask full-time
50 years ago on Sunday.

NOTES: Canadiens winger Matt D'Agostini, checked in the head in
Chicago on Friday night, saw a doctor before the game but there
was no immediate word on how seriously he is injured. Greg
Stewart got back into the lineup after missing 10 games. ...
Toronto winger Phil Kessel skated Saturday morning, and Wilson
said this week he might make his Leafs debut on Tuesday against
Tampa Bay. ... Ponikarovsky has more career points (25) against
Montreal than any other team.]]></description>

STATS Senior Writer

Toronto (1-7-3) at Montreal (6-7-0), 7:00 p.m. EDT

The Canadiens will likely be glad to return to Montreal
following a winless road trip. Facing the lowly Toronto Maple
Leafs probably makes the homecoming even more appealing.

The Canadiens look to win their fifth straight at the Bell
Centre on Saturday night when they host the Maple Leafs, owners
of the league's worst record.

Montreal (6-7-0) got off to a strong start to 2009-10 with
back-to-back wins away from the Bell Centre, including a 4-3
overtime victory at Toronto in the season opener, but it has
been outscored 23-9 in losing all five road games since.

On their latest two-game trip through Pittsburgh and Chicago,
the Canadiens suffered a 6-1 loss to the defending Stanley Cup
champion Penguins on Wednesday and a 3-2 defeat to the
Blackhawks on Friday.

Montreal rallied from a two-goal deficit against Chicago with
goals from Mike Cammalleri and Travis Moen in a 4:02 span late
in the second period, but Blackhawks right wing Patrick Sharp
ended the Canadiens' comeback bid with a goal with 4:10
remaining in the third.

"We started doing some things right and it paid off for a short
period of time, but not the whole game," Cammalleri said.

Getting back to home ice should help.

Montreal has outscored its opponents 15-8 in winning its last
four games at the Bell Centre since a 3-1 loss to Ottawa on Oct.
17.

Cammalleri and goalie Jaroslav Halak are leading the home surge
for the Canadiens, who haven't won five in a row in Montreal
since Jan. 4-31.

Cammalleri, who signed a free-agent contract with the Canadiens
in the offseason, has five goals and three assists in the last
five contests in Montreal while Halak has been in net for each
game of the home winning streak.

Halak started the season as the team's backup, but starting
goalie Carey Price - who was in net Friday - is 0-5-0 with a
4.08 goals-against average in six games since Oct. 7.

Price stopped a season-high 43 shots against the Maple Leafs on
Oct. 1, which marked the start of an awful opening stretch for
Toronto (1-7-3).

The Leafs are the league's only one-win team and have led after
two periods just once in 11 games. Despite its terrible start,
Toronto has managed to earn at least one point in each of its
last three games.

The Leafs, who wrap up a five-game road trip Saturday, are
coming off a 3-2 overtime loss to Buffalo on Friday, their
second consecutive overtime defeat following Monday's 6-3 win at
Anaheim.

"We're doing a lot of things well," Toronto coach Ron Wilson
said. "If we keep doing this, the results are going to be there.
We have to keep persevering."

Ian White and Mikhail Grabovski scored for Toronto against the
Sabres while Jonas Gustavsson made 25 saves in his third
straight start in net for the injured Vesa Toskala (knee).

Toskala, who stopped 23 shots against the Canadiens in the
opener and is 0-2-1 with a 5.57 GAA in four games, is expected
to dress for this contest, but the rookie Gustavsson will likely
get the start.]]></description>
