Habs Beat Rangers, Win Sixth Straight
The suddenly surging Montreal Canadiens defeated the New York Rangers 3-1 last night to notch their sixth straight and move into an almost comfortable sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
Glen Metropolit scored his career-high 16th goal, Sergei Kostitsyn got the second and Tomas Plekanec snagged an empty-netter to seal the win late in the game following the successful killing of a 6-4 Rangers advantage; Sean Avery potted the lone goal against Jaraoslav Halak. New York was limited to only 20 shots on net, due in large part to the 18-5 shot advantage the Canadiens held in the second period alone.
The Habs have now moved above the Flyers in the standings and sit only a single point behind the Ottawa Senators for fifth. After taking on the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Saturday the Habs will face the Senators, Sabres, Panthers and Devils next week.

It’s a good thing there are only 12 potential losses left this season because I’m not sure I can take many more gloomy game recaps! A decent effort in the first and second periods went to waste when the Habs allowed the Rangers to outshoot them 16-5 in the third, forcing Carey Price to carry the team through the last frame in order to make it to overtime. After being outshot again in overtime Price had finally had enough, letting in all three shootout attempts with Les Habitants scoring only twice. Alex Kovalev and Maxim Lapierre did have highlight reel goals, apparently enough to keep the Bell Centre crowd to a hiss following the game as opposed to the all-out boos that the team has been leaving the ice to lately.
After losing ten of their last twelve games and generally playing below par hockey for the past few months, the New York Rangers fired head coach Tom Renney today. There wasn’t much downtime before reports started to surface that former Tampa Bay Lightning Coach and current NHL on TSN analyst John Tortorella will take over the Rangers as soon as the next game. This is dependent on the NHL working out the difficulty of a Tampa “no”; the Lightning still have Tororella under contract for the remainder of the season and will need to give their go-ahead before the Rangers’ organization can claim him.
The Montreal Canadiens pulled off the biggest comeback of the franchise’s 99 year history by defeating the New York Rangers last night 6-5 after trailing 5-0 midway through the second period. The Rangers chased Carey Price out of the net after scoring three goals on eleven shots and Huet allowed another two goals in the early part of the second period to give them a commanding 5-0 lead.
