MONTREAL, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Maxim Lapierre scored in a shootout and Carey Price preserved the win with a great save Tuesday to pace the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 victory over Carolina.
After five scoreless shootout rounds following a 2-2 overtime tie, Lapierre finally put the Canadiens on the board but it was up to Price to stop designated Carolina shooter Matt Cullen and nail down the victory. Price was fooled by Cullen, but still made an amazing skate save.
