It’s been quite a week Carey Price gave Anze Kopitar a golden chance to score on him on Thursday night at the Bell Centre. Unfortunately for Kopitar, luck wasn’t on his side.
The Canadiens defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-1, as Price faced less than 25 shots (23) for only the second time this season. Carey must have been upset at Anze for not taking advantage of his earlier gift, because just before Tyler Toffoli notched the Kings’ lone tally on a 3rd period power play, Price added this save to his spectacular early season portfolio, again at Kopitar’s expense:
Price becomes tangled up with two Jeffs, Kings’ forward Carter (77) and Habs defenseman Petry, and is knocked backward.
