Six Straight and Counting
Rogers Centre in Vancouver was bedecked in red on Tuesday evening, and the Canadiens treated the Western Canadian faithful to yet another exciting overtime win, defeating the Canucks 2-1 on Paul Byron’s overtime goal.
Torrey Mitchell opened the scoring early in the first period with a deflection past Ryan Miller, but that was all the Habs could manage in regulation. The Canucks, playing what seemed like a road game, battled their way to a 1-1 tie behind the stellar play of Miller and a late deflection by Michael Chaput that finally eluded Carey Price.
