Price’s 36 saves help Canadiens beat Coyotes 2-1
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Carey Price reached another milestone and the Montreal Canadiens got another big win.
Price stopped 36 shots in his 300th career win, leading the Canadiens to a 2-1 victory over the slumping Arizona Coyotes on Thursday night.
Paul Byron and Shea Weber scored as Montreal won the second game of a back-to-back for the first time in four tries this season. The Canadiens, coming off a 2-1 loss at Colorado on Wednesday night, have won six of their last nine overall.
“Definitely a trying two games with the travel involved,” said Price, who started both games. “But we found a way to do it. Great character showed up tonight.”
