Ed Belfour ties for 8th on Shutout List

MONTREAL (AP) -- After following in Tony Esposito's footsteps in Chicago, Ed Belfour was happy to catch up with the legendary goalie in Montreal.

Belfour made 29 saves for his first shutout in nearly three years and Jay Bouwmeester scored late in the second period to lift the Florida Panthers to a 1-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

The 41-year-old goalie's 76th career shutout drew him even for eighth on the NHL career list with Esposito, who had two shutouts with Montreal at the outset of his career before going forging a Hall of Fame career with the Chicago Blackhawks.
