Game 8: Canadiens 2 – Thrashers 1 (SO)
Jaroslav Halak was stellar in regulation and overtime and even better in the shootout to help lead the Habs to a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers, ending the five-game losing skid that had Canadiens fans everywhere in a panic.
Brian Gionta and Scott Gomez each notched a pretty goal in the shootout to clinch the victory.
Jaroslav Halak was solid in nets for the Canadiens on Tuesday night, but as has been the case often so far this season, the netminder at the other end of the ice was just a little better. Only this game had a happy ending for once as the Canadiens pulled out a 2-1 shootout win, with Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta sealing the deal to snap a five-game losing streak. They were able to beat Ondrej Pavelec, who played his junior hockey in the QMJHL, in the shootout after the young goaltender was stellar for 65 minutes, stopping 34 of 35 shots. Halak stopped 22 shots in only his second start of the season for the Canadiens. Gionta opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season – only the third time this season the Canadiens have scored the first goal of the game. Colby Armstrong, wallpapered Marc-André Bergeron behind the Canadiens net in the second period, tied the game early in the third period.

The sleeping Habs came awake for a night with Alex Tanguay grabbing two goals and three assists and his line with Saku Koivu and Alex Kovalev combing for 11 points. Carey Price played a fairly solid game, making 22 saves. Metropolit also had his second goal as a Hab.
The Habs hosted the Atlanta Thrashers on the day of the NHL trade deadline with new number one goalie Carey Price between the pipes and the Thrashers lacking superstar Marian Hossa as he makes his way to Pittsburgh. The first period opened at a fast pace and Price quickly began to prove himself with a few early key saves. Each team killed off a penalty before Maxim Lapierre put the Canadiens up 1-0 with an even strength goal around the midway point of the period.
With all of the speculation that either Ottawa or Montreal would pick him up it was actually the Pittsburgh Penguins who picked up Marian Hossa with only seconds remaining before the NHL trade deadline today. Hossa will join the like of Sidney Crosby and Evengi Malkin and suddenly the Pens look like potential Cup contenders.
The trade deadline has come and gone and it’s time to get back to business. Carey Price and the Canadiens will host the Marian Hossa-less Atlanta Thrashers tonight as they attempt to snap a two game skid to stay in the thick of the action in the Eastern Conference.
