Carey Price denied record in Canadiens’ 4-3 overtime loss to Panthers
MONTREAL — It took two broken sticks and a bad deflection to prevent Carey Price from tying an 89-year-old franchise record.
Florida’s Aaron Ekblad scored a fluke goal in overtime as the Panthers beat the Canadiens 4-3 on Tuesday night to deny Price a bit of Montreal history.
Price was looking for his 11th win in a row, which would have matched George Hainsworth’s 1927 record for a single-season winning streak by a Habs goaltender.
Instead, some bad luck in overtime handed Montreal its first home loss of the season after starting the year 10-0-0 at the Bell Centre.
