Price backstops Canadiens 2-1 over Senators for third straight win
MONTREAL — However poorly Carey Price played early in the season, he is making up for it now.
Price made 27 saves for his third win in as many starts since he missed 10 games with a lower body injury as the Montreal Canadiens downed the slumping Ottawa Senators 2-1 on Wednesday night.
The star goaltender, who began the campaign 3-7-1 with a feeble 3.77 goals-against average, is 3-0-0 and has allowed only two goals on 102 shots since he returned last week.
“He’s been our best player,” said forward Andrew Shaw. “He’s calm, he’s cool, he’s making big-time saves and working hard for us.
