Party crashers

MONTREAL -- Carey Price was in the building on Tuesday, but it was another goaltender who stole the show.

Pregame, Alex Galchenyuk warned of the effect the Bell Centre can have on visiting teams looking to crash the party. Cue Martin Jones and the San Jose Sharks who arrived in Montreal having lost six in a row.

On a day when Price -- still sidelined with a lower body injury but making an appearance during a TV timeout to a standing ovation -- earned the Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s top athlete, Jones stopped 26 of 27 shots -- including three over a pair of Habs power plays -- to earn the night’s First Star on the way to a 3-1 decision.
