NHL Roundup: Canadiens Squeak Past B’s

Montreal — Carey Price stopped 41 shots, Paul Byron scored with 1:02 left and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Boston Bruins 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Byron poked in a loose puck after Alexander Radulov passed it into the crease. The goal stood after a video review.

Shea Weber and Alex Galchenyuk also scored for Montreal, which got a second straight win since a 10-0 defeat in Columbus on Friday night.

Colin Miller and David Pastrnak scored for the Bruins, who still had legs in the third period despite playing a back-to-back after a 4-0 victory Monday night over Buffalo.

Rookie Zane McIntyre had 20 saves for Boston.

The Canadiens received a pep talk from visiting golf great Jack Nicklaus in their dressing room before the game. Despite the win, they were outshot for a fifth straight game, allowing 40 or more in three of them.

Boston had a 14-5 shots edge in the first period and kept up the pressure in the second, but Weber got the first goal on a power play 3:58 into the period. That started a run of three goals in a span of 70 seconds.

Andrei Markov slipped the puck to Weber on the left point for a blast inside the post for his fifth goal of the season and fourth with the man advantage.

Miller got his first of the season at 4:48 when his shot went off the end boards, off Price’s stick and in the net.

Twenty seconds later, Byron launched a counterattack and Radulov flipped a pass that Galchenyuk controlled for a backhanded goal, his fifth of the season.

Boston tied it 2-2 with 1 second left on a power play at 6:38 of the third when Pastrnak took a feed from John-Michael Liles and drilled a shot to the top corner from the left circle. It was the seventh power-play goal allowed by Montreal in its last three games.

David Backes and Torey Krug led Boston with six shots on goal each, and Patrice Bergeron had five. Byron and Galchenyuk led Montreal with three each.

Red Wings 3, Flyers 2 (so)

Philadelphia — Andreas Athanasiou tied it midway through the third period and had the only score in the shootout, helping Detroit snap a five-game losing streak.

Devils 3, Hurricanes 2 (so)
