Price gets start vs. Bruins on Thursday



by Dave Stubbs


To the surprise of no one, goaltender Carey Price returns to the Montreal net tomorrow night in Boston vs. the Bruins. The rookie has won all three of his starts vs. the Bruins this season, with a 2.33 goals-against average.

Any other lineup changes for the game will be announced by coach Guy Carbonneau after the morning skate in Boston. But speculation is that Steve Bégin, who has missed 11 of the past 13 games, will be back, having nursed a groin injury back to health.

The Canadiens have beaten the Bruins nine straight times, and would love to make that 11 by Saturday evening, facing their Original Six rival back at the Bell Centre that night.

Yup. I've been doing that all season. It would just take too long to make my own.

He sure does make good threads.





The game has begun.

[Habsfan84]

Komisarek leaves the game with an injury. Good thing we have Streit as a forward so he can play D.

[Habsfan84]

Thats the end of the first. Nothing decided. 0-0.

[Habsfan84]

Here we go with the start of the second period.

[Habsfan84]

Kovalev scores a beauty goal to make it 1-0 Habs.

[Habsfan84]

Alexei Kovalev scores another beauty to make it 2-0 Habs. The goal was unassisted.

[Habsfan84]

Mark Stuart scores just 25 seconds after the Kovalev goal to make it 2-1.

[Habsfan84]

Thats the end of the second period.
