Erik Cole. Best player on the ice. Again.

Brian Gionta. Pucks starting to go in for the captain. Now on pace for his typical 25 - 30 goal season (28).

Mike Cammalleri. Once again was an offensive force all night. 5 SOG, +2 and it was Cammalleri who drew the early hooking call on Ryan McDonagh which led to the opening goal by Cole.

Scott Gomez. Not totally surprised that Gomez came out to play against his former team. Not just the two assists but he played heady hockey all night and just missed on a couple of Grade A scoring chances. Is on quite a streak with three points in his last three games. Now on pace for a 14 point season.

Carey Price. Back to back shutouts for the first time in his NHL career. Once again, not overly busy but his terrific save off Marian Gaborik from in close 90 seconds into the game might have been the turning point.

Thomas Plekanic. Another two point night bringing him to a point per game through 20 games.

Frederic St. Denis. Another good outing for a guy who's about #10 on the Habs D depth chart. Number 10 with a bullet.

Power play showing real signs of life. Two more goals bringing success rate to over 15%.

PK Unit. Perfect again. Now 3rd overall in NHL.

Petteri Nokelainen. Getting off the ice and going after the much bigger & stronger Andre Deveaux. Next time Nokelainen should lead with his stick instead of his head.

Pre - Game tribute to Eddy Palchak.

THE BAD

L'Antichambre Post game suggesting Alexei Yemelin should go down to Hamilton for a couple of weeks. What he do wrong?

The first Gionta goal allowed by Martin Biron.

Referee Dave Jackson making the correct call on Aaron Palushaj for interference but sending Yannick Weber to the penalty box instead.

THE UGLY

Deveaux raining punches down on Nokelainen. Some code, huh?
