Carey Price made 34 saves and Jeff Petry and Tomas Tatar each scored two goals as the Canadiens rolled to a 5-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers Saturday at Rogers Place.
Price was the major reason why the Edmonton power play, which ranked No. 1 in the NHL last season, went 0-for-3. He made 10 of his saves while the Oilers were enjoying the man advantage.
After a slow start, the Canadiens set the tone for this game in the first period. They dominated the play and outshot Edmonton 15-9, but had to settle for a 1-0 lead on a power-play goal by former Oiler Petry.
The Montreal power play has been much better in the early going and Petry’s goal was an example of a great individual effort. His shot from the right faceoff circle hit goaltender Mikko Koskinen on the chest and the puck bounced in the air. Petry batted it down as he circled behind the net and scored from the left side.
The Canadiens had a couple of other scoring chances in the first period. Brendan Gallagher and Jesperi Kotkaniemi both hit posts and Koskinen made a big save on Tyler Toffoli early in the period.
