Therrien said he was happy with the way his team responded after a lacklustre performance earlier in the week in a 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh. “That team played pretty desperate over there and they took it to us the whole period,” Price said. The Canadiens outshot the Sabres 19-9 in the second period and took a 2-1 lead, but they had a serious letdown in the third when the Sabres had a 14-7 edge and tied the game. “Both goalies were really, really good tonight. “Carey was outstanding tonight … outstanding,” said coach Michel Therrien. I’m trying to get over the disappointment of the result.” “It’s an awful lot of fun being out there and being able to come up with a save at the end of the game. “That’s why you play the game,” Price said. He received an ovation after he stopped Matt Moulson on a partial breakaway and then made a glove save on a shot by Rasmus Ristolainen. Price has lost five of his last six starts, but could take some satisfaction in a couple of saves in the final minute of regulation time that allowed the Canadiens to earn a point. On that occasion, O’Reilly beat Tomas Plekanec and directed the puck to Franson at the blue line. O’Reilly also made the key play on the tying goal by Cody Franson at 11:53 of the third period. O’Reilly, who won 19 of his 29 faceoffs, beat Galchenyuk and then set up Bogosian for a slap shot that beat Price at 1:48.
