MONTREAL -- Carey Price feels that the Montreal Canadiens are really starting to jell. Price made 24 saves in the Canadiens 3-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. Still, the veteran goaltender likes what he sees from Montreal so far this pre-season. "Its coming along," said Price. "The guys are getting a little more comfortable with each other. Weve been working quite a bit. "Its all positive." It was Prices first full pre-season game. He played well despite taking the loss and felt more confident as the game wore on. "I felt a little bit on my heels at first. Started to settle in probably later on in the second period," said Price. "I started handling the puck better." But by then it was too late; the Canadiens were already down 3-0, and they would only find a late consolation goal. Montreal was repeatedly frustrated by Anton Khudobins superb play in Carolinas net. Khudobin, who played 14 games with Boston last year and is slated to become the Hurricanes backup goalie this year, stopped 41 of 42 shots. "We did this result all together as a team," said Khudobin. "But that many shots and one goal is pretty good too." Hurricanes head coach -- and former Canadiens assistant coach -- Kirk Muller was impressed by his goalie. "Were just getting to know him and obviously were excited to bring him into the organization," said Muller. "The nice thing is he has a lot of structure to his game and hes a real competitor. Hes been a great addition so far. "We actually feel weve got a pretty strong one-two punch with our goalies." Carolina opened the scoring at the end of the first period when Drayson Bowman fired home his first goal of the pre-season. Price misplayed a clearance behind his net, leaving the puck for Eric Staal, who passed it to a wide-open Bowman. Price blamed the goal on an unlucky bounce off the boards, and miscommunication with defenceman Andrei Markov. Jeff Skinner added to the Hurricanes lead early in the second -- the eventual game-winner -- and Carolina put the contest out of reach at the end of the period when Nathan Gerbe fired a shot past Price on the power play. It was the Habs fourth penalty of the period. Rookie Michael Bournival, whos Montreals leading scorer this pre-season, scored the Canadiens only goal late in the third period. Montreal outshot Carolina 42-27 on the heels of a dominant third period. But it was not to be. This was Montreals second game in two nights against the Hurricanes. The Habs beat Carolina 6-0 in a lopsided match in Quebec City on Friday. The Hurricanes, who have played four pre-season games in as many nights, showed no sign of fatigue after Fridays game. The Canadiens next game is on Monday when they host the New Jersey Devils. A... Huarache Pink Floral . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies.VANCOUVER -- Vancouver Canucks head coach John Tortorella leaned heavily on his first line during the teams recent seven-game road trip. Monday night was just more of the same. Daniel Sedin scored the winner in the third after helping to set up linemate Ryan Keslers tying goal a few minutes earlier as the Canucks rallied to defeat the Washington Capitals 3-2. Fresh off a 5-1-1 road trip, the Canucks found themselves down 2-1 early in the final period despite dominating the Capitals in all three zones. Thats when the line of Kesler, Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin took over to help Vancouver to its fourth straight victory. "They had the puck a lot tonight," said Tortorella of the trio. "Theyve been consistent so well keep them together and see where we go with it." After the teams traded goals early in the third period, Kesler and the Sedins played keepaway in the Washington zone to give Vancouver the lead for good. Daniel Sedin finished the sequence off by faking a pass at the top of the slot and blasting a shot past Washington goalie Michael Neuvirth at 5:01 for a 3-2 lead. "Resiliency. You go down early in the third and we find a way to battle back and get the go-ahead (goal)," said Kesler, who along with the Sedins played over 23 minutes. "Thats the way our teams been all year." Capitals sniper Alex Ovechkin was stopped on a penalty shot by Roberto Luongo just 79 seconds into the game and was also on for both the tying and winning goals. "When the Kesler goal was scored it was my guy, I was kind of playing position as centre and the third goal, he make a great move and (Capitals forward Marcus Johansson) was kind of guessing," he said. "Two shifts cost us the game." Kesler now has five goals and three assists in his last five games since being paired with the Sedins after scoring just once in the first six games of the season. "Through the whole year (Kesler) has done all the things weve asked of him and now the pucks going in for him," said Tortorella. "Im happy hes getting rewarded, because he deserves it." Luongo made 17 saves to get the victory, while Zack Kassian also scored for Vancouver (9-4-1), which played at Rogers Arena for the first time since Oct. 12. Henrik Sedins assist on the winner extended his point streak to nine games. Jason Chimera, with a goal and an assist, and Mikhail Grabovski scored for Washington (5-7-0), which got 38 stops from Neuvirth. The final period started well for Washington initially, with Grabovski beating Luongo glove side at 1:52 to give the Capitals their first lead at 2-1, but Kesler tied it up again with his eighth of the season by slapping a puck past Neuvirth just 61 seconds later. Daniel Sedin then scored his fourth of the campaign as Vancouver finished the night with a 41-19 edge in shots. "They stayedd in the game and they got that second goal and its tough to come back from those, but we were able to score two pretty quick ones," said Henrik Sedin.dddddddddddd "First game back after a long road trip, we got a good start. They took over a little bit late in the first but after that I thought we should have won this maybe a little bit more comfortably." Tied 1-1 after the first period, Vancouver outshot Washington 16-3 in the second but couldnt find a way past Neuvirth. Canucks defenceman Jason Garrison walked into a one-timer on a power play early in the period that Neuvirth was equal to. Ovechkin then hit the post behind Luongo off the rush on a Washington man advantage. The Canucks opened the scoring at 11:31 of the first period on Kassians second goal of the season. The big forward moved down the right wing and snapped a shot past Neuvirth on the short side. Asked about Kassians performance, Tortorella was blunt: "Good at times, crappy at times. But hes coming. He still has to work on his consistency." Washington tied the score just over three minutes at 14:36 later when Mike Greens shot from the point found Chimeras stick at the edge of the crease. Chimera, who has goals in three straight games, started the sequence with a big hit in the Vancouver zone. Ovechkin was awarded his penalty shot at 1:19 of the period when he was pulled down on a partial breakaway. Tied for the NHL lead in goals with 10, Ovechkin got Luongo goalie moving with his first fake, but was unable to finish. "If he scores on a penalty shot its a whole different feeling for a player of that calibre," said Capitals head coach Adam Oates. "He had a couple chances. We have to figure out a way to get more." Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows returned to the lineup after breaking a bone in his right foot in the season opener. Although Burrows was back healthy, Vancouvers sick bay is still a busy place. Tortorella will be without David Booth for about two weeks, while fellow forwards Jannik Hansen and Dale Weise are each expected to miss three-to-four weeks. Still on the injury front, Canucks forward Jordan Schroeder, who hurt is left foot blocking a shot in the pre-season, will require surgery to insert a pin in his ankle. Tortorella said he expects the second-year man to be out for two months. All the walking wounded for Vancouver meant that Canucks forward Darren Archibald played his second career NHL game, while Jeremy Walsh suited up for the fifth time.
