The Colorado Avalanche are 3-0 against Northeast Division opponents this year after defeating the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 last night.
Apparent super goalie Craig Anderson had 29 saves, including holding off seven Canadiens players in the final minute.
With Colorado up 3-2 late in the third Hal Gill got a holding penalty to put Colarado on the power play. Twenty seconds later, Darcy Tucker remembered it had been awhile since he did anything stupid and got a high sticking penalty.
The Canadiens pulled price to give themselves an extra skater in an effort to score. However, when Gill's penalty expired, he jumped back on the ice and joined the attack, giving the Canadiens 7 skaters on the ice. The refs somehow missed this and play continued. They still could not get one past Craig Anderson.
Avalanche rookie Ryan O'Reilly got his first NHL goal in the third, which turned out to be the game winner.
The Canadiens are back in action tomorrow night against the Senators!
