November 11, 2016



CANADIENS IMPROVE TO 9-0-0 AT HOME WITH WIN OVER KINGS

Carey Price made 23 saves and Daniel Carr (GWG) scored his first goal of 2016-17 to help the Canadiens improve to 12-1-1 this season, including a perfect 9-0-0 record at Bell Centre.

The Canadiens won 12 of their first 14 games to begin a season for the first time in their 99-year NHL history. Montreal also started a season with wins in each of their first nine home games for just the second time in franchise history (also 1953-54).

Price improved to 9-0-0 this season and paces the NHL in wins (1.56 GAA, .953 SV%, 1 SO). Elias says he has established the longest season-opening win streak by a goaltender in franchise history, besting the mark by Charlie Hodge in 1960-61 (8-0-0).

The Canadiens and Kings, both former teams of Rogie Vachon, honored the goaltender prior to his induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday.

DUCKS DEFEAT CAROLINA, 4-2 

Jakob Silfverberg (2-2—4) matched a career high with four points, scoring a pair of goals – including the game-winner – in a 3:06 span of the second period, to help the Ducks extend their point streak to four games (3-0-1).

Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf (0-1—1) registered the 532nd assist of his NHL career, all with the Ducks, to pass Teemu Selanne (531) for the most in franchise history.
