BOSTON (AP) — Carey Price knew he had a lot of help from laiyongcai92's blog

 in front of him and was more than willing to credit them.Price stopped 33 shots for his first shutout of the season www.minnesotawildteamshops.com , collecting his 290th career win with Montreal to move into second place in team history in the Canadiens’ 3-0 win over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.“Shutouts should be a team stat, really,” he said. “Everybody did an excellent job on defense tonight.”Price moved ahead of Hall of Famer Patrick Roy and is now only behind Jacques Plante — another Hall of Famer — who collected 314 victories with the Canadiens.Brendan Gallagher and Max Domi scored 1:21 apart midway into the first period and Price took over from there.“We did what we had to do in the third period to protect the lead and get the win,” said Canadiens coach Claude Julien, who coached Boston’s 2011 Stanley Cup-winning team.The Canadiens snapped a six-game losing streak against the Bruins, with the last victory coming at home on November 8, 2016. It was Price’s 41st career shutout.“It’s always nice to get that,” he said of the shutout. “A little bit of icing on the cake.”The Bruins lost for the first time at home this season after winning their first four – all in regulation. They were the last NHL team to lose at home. Tuukka Rask made 20 saves.Gallagher gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead 9:18 into the game when he beat Rask on a tough-angle shot. The winger fired a wrister from the right circle that slipped into the net between Rask’s left arm and the post.During a delayed penalty, Domi’s hustle led to his goal that made it 2-0 at 10:39. Artturi Lehkonen was hooked breaking in alone and the puck slid behind the net where it collected it and sent it out front. Domi charged in, got the puck and shifted Rask out of position before firing it into the net under the cross bar.The game lacked any real intensity in the first meeting of the season between the longtime rivals; mainly because Montreal dominated defensively, limiting Boston’s chances with tight defense.“There’s a lot of things that we didn’t do,” Boston’s Patrice Bergeron said. “Obviously, he’s a great goalie, but I don’t think his job was very hard tonight.”The Bruins pulled Rask with just under three minutes to play for an extra skater Authentic Jaccob Slavin Jersey , and even that didn’t get them any good scoring chances before Jordie Benn banked home any empty-netter with 29 seconds left.Boston’s Ryan Donato had a goal waved off early in the second period after a coach’s challenge. The play was ruled offside after a replay review.Boston’s lack of offensive punch in the opening two periods did very little to excite the sold-out crowd. Even a video showing Red Sox highlights only brought loud cheers for a few seconds.“They have a lot of smaller forwards who are able to get in on the forecheck and force teams to make plays they don’t want to,” Boston defenseman Matt Grzelcyk said. “They did that to us pretty well tonight.”Montreal’s defense did a good job of giving up most of the shots from far outside where Price was able to handle them easily. The Bruins’ best bid came in the closing seconds of second period when Price made a splendid glove save on Joakim Nordtsrom’s wrist shot.NOTES: Domi extended his point streak to six games (five goals, three assists). … Bruins D Charlie McAvoy and F David Backes each missed their fourth straight game with what the team called an upper body injury. … Price entered with a solid regular season record in his career against Boston: 24-11-5 with a 2.42 goals-against average. … It was the Bruins’ 390h straight sellout at TD Garden.UP NEXTCanadiens: Host the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.Bruins: At the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday. CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Mark Giordano has been defying his age all season.The 35-year-old defenseman had three more assists Wednesday night and the Calgary Flames kept right on rolling with a 5-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.“Just trying to put pucks on net, jump in when I can,” Giordano said. “Playing on a pretty good power play with pretty good players, trying to move the puck around to those guys and get it in their hands and when you do that with those types of players, they reward you.”Mikael Backlund, Mark Jankowski, Elias Lindholm and Michael Frolik scored for Calgary (28-13-4), which is 6-1-1 in its last eight games. Matthew Tkachuk added an empty-net goal for the Flames, who have a two-point lead over Vegas atop the Pacific Division.Giordano had the primary assist on Lindholm’s power-play goal that broke a 2-all tie at 12:57 of the second period and Frolik’s deflection that made it 4-2 halfway through the third.“He’s one of the best I’ve ever met. I couldn’t be happier that I have a chance to play with him,” Frolik said. “He’s been unbelievable, especially this year. He’s really driving the bus on the back end now.”Johnny Gaudreau added two assists for the Flames to extend his point streak to six games.Giordano has 303 career assists Jordan Staal Jersey , moving him past Joe Nieuwendyk into fifth on the franchise list.Nathan MacKinnon ran his point streak to eight games with a goal for Colorado (20-16-8). Erik Johnson and Mikko Rantanen also scored as the slumping Avalanche dropped to 1-6-2 in their last nine games.“We’re not finding ways to win right now, whether it’s a save at a key time or a goal at a key time,” said Gabriel Landeskog, who fired 12 shots on David Rittich — the most by an NHL player in a game this season. “We’re generating plenty of chances and we allowed only 16 shots. When you do that you’ve got to be able to win.”Rittich, sharp all night, made 32 saves to improve to 16-4-3.“He was awesome, again,” Giordano said. “It’s the timely saves that are huge, to be honest. When you’re tied or you’re up one and he’s keeping that same score line. He’s been doing it all year and again, another big night by him.”Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov, tested only 15 times, fell to 11-9-5.“We have to help them more,” Rantanen said, defending Colorado’s goaltending. “It’s been our problem lately. Not just the last two games Womens Justin Faulk Jersey , even before that. We score enough goals to win, but we can’t give up seven or five goals every night.”Colorado has been struggling to kill off penalties. Meanwhile, the Flames’ penalty kill had a big night, going 4 for 4 against an Avalanche team that came into the game ranked fifth with the man advantage.“Our PK, the role is to shut it down so I think we did a pretty good job of that and trying to halt their momentum,” said Jankowski, who scored his seventh goal.Frolik’s goal at 9:14 of the third, when he deflected in Giordano’s point shot, ended up the game-winner after Rantanen scored with 38 seconds remaining and the goalie pulled.Calgary got off to a fast start when Backlund buried James Neal’s rebound at 5:34. The Flames doubled their lead five minutes later on Jankowski’s seventh.But the Avalanche got back to even before the period ended.Consecutive giveaways by Rittich and Monahan resulted in the Avs getting a tic-tac-toe goal from their top line with MacKinnon completing the passing sequence with Landeskog and Rantanen.Johnson’s shot just inside the post tied it with 19 seconds left in the period, but the Avalanche came up short again.“A little bit disheartening, playing two games like that on the road back-to-back against two really good teams and coming out with nothing. Because I thought for the most part that we were really good tonight,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “It feels like defensively we have to play a perfect game right now because we just aren’t getting any puck luck at the other end.”UP NEXTAvalanche: Colorado is 0-2-0 on a five-game trip to Canada that continues Saturday night in Montreal.Flames: Host the Florida Panthers on Friday night.
