The Carolina Hurricanes earned a point but fell in the shootout as the Montreal Canadiens defeated them, 2-1 on Sunday at the Bell Centre.
Jeff Skinner tipped in a Jordan Staal shot just 2:27 into the game for the only Carolina goal in the game, although they came close several times throughout.
Max Pacioretty scored his 20th of the season in the second period to tie it for the home team.
Neither team could light the lamp in the extra period as the goalies continued to shine.
