NHL: Chicago 3, Montreal 2

CHICAGO, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Patrick Sharp scored with 4:10 to play Friday and Chicago, after blowing a two-goal lead, defeated Montreal 3-2.

Carey Price started in goal for the first time in almost two weeks and made 33 saves. He gave up the winning goal to Sharp, however, who scored for the sixth time this season on a slap shot.

Montreal traded away Cristobal Huet to Chicago two years ago because Price was thought to be ready for a full-time job. Price, however, has struggled and lost his No. 1 post this season to Jaroslav Halak.

Kris Versteeg and Cam Barker gave Chicago a 2-0 lead, but Huet gave up goals to Mike Cammalleri and Travis Moen over the final 4:05 of the second period.

Huet held on to get the win, making 20 saves.
