He has not had the best season, but on Sunday night, those who wanted Carey Price to steal a game finally got what they were asking for.
Price made 37 saves, including 13 while shorthanded, and he kept the Montreal Canadiens in the game long enough for Tomas Tatar to tip Jeff Petry’s shot past Corey Crawford for a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
A parade to the penalty box, for both teams, led to under seven minutes of even strength hockey in the third period and even that included some play with Chicago’s net empty.
