Losing in overtime was a tough result for the Canadiens but they were able to pick up seven out of a possible eight points which helped extend their lead over the CBJ. EricEngels has your takeaways from Montreal's loss to the Hurricanes.
On the other side of it, though, the Canadiens extended their lead over the Columbus Blue Jackets to four points for the second wild-card position in the Eastern Conference. It’s a lead they hope holds up by night’s end, once the Blue Jackets have completed their game in Vancouver against the Canucks.A backbreaking goal, but not one to blame on BennUnderstandably so. He stood on his head in this game, making highlight-reel save after highlight-reel save.
It was in the fifth minute of the third that Price stopped Hurricanes leading scorer Sebastian Aho on a breakaway. He forced their second-leading scorer, Teuvo Teravainen, wide on another one moments later and appeared completely impenetrable until the unfortunate bounce off Benn’s leg found the mesh.
It’s worth reminding that Benn successfully did that on two other occasions in the game. Both of them came on the team’s penalty kill as part of an effort that saw the Canadiens limit the Hurricanes to just one shot on net on three power plays.During that sequence when the Canadiens held Carolina without a shot in the second period, they had multiple chances to build on the lead Paul Byron gave them with his 15th goal of the season.
