Habs Edge Blues in Shootout Win

It was a frustrating night for Montreal. Carbo switched up the lines to see what could work. There were 3 post hits and 10 scoreless powerplays for Montreal. But, you have to take into account that Montreal played last night and that fatigue played a factor in the game tonight. All in all, in was another very ordinary game for the struggling Habs.
S.Regier marked first for St. Louis 3:48 into the game. The very dull first period ended 1-0.
Ending his 11 game goal drought, sniper A.Kostitsyn brought the puck from his end of the ice, stick handling his way towards the net sneaking the puck between the legs of M.Legace. It was a much needed goal for the winger, who has not been the same player since being nailed in Phoenix.
Finally, on the 13th powerplay of the night, S.Regier scored with the man advantage. Higgins was the one who took the penalty. In my opinion, Higgins has had better nights. Now 2-1 Blues, Montreal had to get something, and that was what they got. At 15:48, Lang batted in his own rebound to tie the game.
Off to OT, which started with a powerplay for St. Louis. Montreal killed the penalty well, but scary moment in the thick of it. While blocking a shot, defender Bouillon took a puck straight to the throat. However, at the end of the game, we were informed that there were no serious injuries.
For the first two shots in the shootout, all Price had to do was stand in the middle of the net. B.Boyes' shot went over the night and Perron's shot was straight at Carey. Koivu lost the puck in a deke and A.Kostitsyn banged his shot off the right post. K.Tkachuk was stopped by Price to give Kovalev an opportunity to win. Kovalev brought the puck up, and shifted to his backhand, which he made no mistake in roofing.

Notes: A.Kostitsyn now has 6 points this season (tonight adding a goal and an assist)... Lang scored his 5th goal... 19 penalties were called tonight (38 minutes), and only 1 goal was scored among all of them... Price is 8 for 10 in the shootout
