Canadiens manhandle Devils

MICHAEL Bournival scored his first two goals of the season and Carey Price made 22 saves as the Montreal Canadiens extended their winning streak to five games with a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Friday.

Price got his 200th victory in his 400th game as Montreal won for the eighth time in the past nine games to grab a share of the lead in the Atlantic Division with Tampa Bay on 52 points. Max Pacioretty and Tomas Plekanec also scored for the Canadiens, while P.K. Subban had three assists.

The Devils are headed in the opposite direction, with only two wins in their past 12 games. Michael Ryder got a goal in his return after missing three games with the mumps.

In other games, Pittsburgh won its ninth straight home game against Tampa Bay 6-3, Roberto Luongo got his 68th career shutout to lead Florida past Buffalo 2-0, and NHL-leading Anaheim hung on for a 4-3 win over slumping St Louis.

Pittsburgh’s Steve Downie scored twice after missing five games with the mumps as the Penguins used a three-goal, first-period lead to defeat the Lightning. Sidney Crosby added four assists for the Penguins.

Elsewhere, Carolina defeated Philadelphia 2-1, Minnesota topped Toronto 3-1, the NY Islanders stopped Calgary 2-1, and Colorada edged Edmonton 2-1 (SO).
