Balanced attack carries Canadiens in 6-4 victory over Hurricanes
MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens were determined to show their mettle after their worst performance of the season — and they did just that.
Five different players scored for Montreal as the Canadiens downed the visiting Carolina Hurricanes 6-4 on Thursday night for their fourth win in the last five games.
The Canadiens were coming off a season-worst 7-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday and the team was desperate to follow that up with a victory.
“We definitely knew we needed to bounce back after our effort in Minnesota and I thought we came out and played a pretty solid game,” said Carey Price, who made 27 saves for his fourth straight victory.
