In a game I was unable to watch, the Toronto Maple Leafs put an end to the Montreal Canadiens 6 game winning streak with a 3-2 win in a shootout. Brian Gionta scored with under 8 minutes to go in the 3rd period to tie the game at 2. Gionta also scored the first Canadiens goal, while Scott Gomez had a pair of assists. Jaroslav Halak got the call in net and made 31 saves in a losing cause. He allowed 2 goals on 3 shots in the shootout. Jonas Gustavsson picked up the win at the other end making 25 saves, along with another 2 in 3 Canadiens attempts in the shootout. The Habs power play apparently struggled going just 1 for 6 on the night, while the penatly kill allowed a goal on the Laffs only chance.Despite the loss, the Habs picked up another point to pull into a tie with the Sens and Flyers for 5th in the East. The Silver Wolf Whiskey Hab of the Game goes to the statistical leader on the night, Brian Gionta. Consideration also given to Gomez and Pouliot. Next action, a big game against the Sens Monday night.
