There’s still lots to accomplish. I could be proud of a lot of things, but I prefer being humble in these situations where things can change quickly.”Max Domi and Mike Reilly each scored their first goal of the season to help Montreal improve to 4-1-1. Carey Price made 23 saves for his second victory of the season after missing two games because of the flu.Gallagher tipped a loose puck past goalie Jake Allen after jumping on a bad giveaway by defenseman Colton Parayko in front of the net.“You obviously don’t expect it,” Gallagher said. “You have to be in the right spot. I thought Tuna (Tatar) did a good job to create the turnover and fortunately enough it ended up where I didn’t do that much. I just had to chip it in.”From the corner of the ice, Parayko whiffed on a pass and the puck went right to Tomas Tatar, who poked it to Gallagher at the side of the net.“It’s obviously a tough play. I feel bad for Colton,” Blues coach Mike Yeo said. “But we’re not playing well enough to win hockey games. And when you do that, yeah Custom Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys , one play can be the difference. You don’t deserve to win if you only go out and play hard in the third period.

I don’t know what it is about them.”Benn scored 8:39 in off a pass from ex-Sabre Taylor Fedun.

When you see a guy like Jamie Benn going to the net and he’s all alone, it’s a pretty mindless play to just slide it to him.”Linus Ullmark stopped Dallas’ other 26 shots on goal.“(Benn’s) a terrific player. You saw their goal, kind of a nifty move and puts it five-hole,” he said.Buffalo appeared to score 4:28 into the third when Marco Scandella’s shot from the left point went over Bishop and into the net. The goal was disallowed because a referee ruled Nathan Beaulieu interfered with Bishop.The Sabres challenged the call, but a replay review upheld the decision.“I was just driving the net,” Beaulieu said. “On replay, it felt like I got pushed in, but it can go either way. I’m not going to argue. You can’t overturn it now. You’ve just got to live with it.”Sabres coach Phil Housley defended his challenge.“It could’ve gone to either way. I knew the call on the ice was a no goal Dallas Stars Hoodies Womens , but I thought it was a good time to challenge. Unfortunately, it didn’t go our way,” he said.Dallas holds the first wild card in the Western Conference, two points ahead of Colorado and Vancouver.Buffalo fell three points behind Columbus for the second wild card in the East.
