He won his season debut, stopping 27 shots against Arizona on Thursday.Its always good to get minutes in, good quality minutes, Price said. The guys are playing really well defensively in front of me, and everybodys rolling right now.

Byrons goal was short-handed.Dominic Moore and Ryan Spooner scored for Boston, which is winless in its last nine games at home against its longtime rivals. Backup goalie Anton Khudobin made 25 saves.I dont like to lose, Khudobin said after falling to 0-2 this season. Its the worst feeling, I would say.

I think everyone gets excited when the fans are on you.

When you do that, it creates turnovers and you spend more time in your zone than youd like to.Bruins starting goalie Tuukka Rask was out with an undisclosed injury that didnt appear serious. Coach Claude Julien said before the game: Were going to shut him off and give him another days rest at least.Boston pulled its goalie with just under three minutes to play, and had a power play for all of the final two minutes. The Canadiens had two players in the box for the final 56 seconds.After a scoreless first period that saw Montreal hold a 13-6 edge in shots on goal, the Canadiens jumped ahead 1-0 midway into the second on Gallaghers goal. He took a pass from Max Pacioretty and one-timed a shot from the right circle that slipped into the net just inside the left post.Montreal made it 2-0 late in the period when Danault took Alexander Radulovs cross-ice pass and slipped a short wrist shot over Khudobins right shoulder.Moores score came on Bostons first shot of the third when he worked a give-and-go with Tim Schaller before slipping a wrister past Price from the slot, but Byron scored on a breakaway just less than two minutes later.But, still on the power play, Spooner scored with just less than 13 minutes remaining in regulation.Mitchell scored an unassisted goal, stealing the puck near the faceoff circle and slapping it one-handed into the net. He was high-sticked by David Krejci for a penalty right after the puck went into the net.Game notes The Bruins continued to struggle with their power play, failing in their first three tries to go 1 for 17 on the season before Spooners goal. ...
