MONTREAL -- It takes more than one player to fill in for the NHL's reigning MVP. Luckily the Habs don’t mind sharing.
Less than nine hours after learning that All-Star netminder Carey Price would be sidelined for a full week of action with a lower body injury, the Canadiens filed an All-Star effort of their own, collectively, dominating the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 at the Bell Centre.
“I couldn’t have asked for more. I thought we played a flawless game,” dished head coach Michel Therrien, whose team opened the scoring on their second shot of the night and never looked back.
