The wins keep coming for Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens.
For the New Jersey Devils, victories remain elusive.
Michael Bournival scored his first two goals of the season and Price made 22 saves on a personal milestone night and the Canadiens extended their winning streak to five with a 4-2 victory over the Devils on Friday.
Price got his 200th victory in his 400th game as Montreal won for the eighth time in the past nine games. The team publicity staff grabbed the game puck for future presentation.
"It's a lot of fun to be able to accomplish that tonight," Price said of the 200th win. "There have been ups and downs along the way, but to finally get this means a lot. The organization will do a nice job and put the puck on a plaque. It's just fun right now to come to the rink, and play with these guys."
Winning certainly enhances the fun.
So does scoring, and Bournival was in good spirits after finally hitting the net. He got a fortunate bounce on the first score before burying the second one.
"The first one was real lucky," Bournival said. "The second one, I did a good job getting in position. When you're in front like that, good things will happen."
Max Pacioretty and Tomas Plekanec also scored for the Canadiens while P.K. Subban had three assists.
"We definitely have had a lot of success of late and won a lot of close games," Pacioretty said. "This was a tight-checking game, a good win for us."
The Devils are headed in the opposite direction. They have only two wins in the past 12 games (2-7-3). Rookie Keith Kinkaid also made 22 stops. Michael Ryder got a goal in his return after missing three games with the mumps. Mike Cammalleri also scored for the Devils.
Down 3-0 in the third period, New Jersey got two late goals to make it close.
"The first two periods, I don't think we gave ourselves a chance," general manager and co-coach Lou Lamoriello said. "We had too many turnovers and a lack of discipline, but we played better in the third period. We came back. We had an opportunity. That's what you ask for."
