Marc-Andre Bergeron had his best game as a Montreal Canadien, potting two goals, in the Habs' 5-3 win over Columbus Tuesday night.
The other Montreal goals came from Michael Cammalleri, Glen Metropolit, and Maxim Lapierre. Tomas Plekanec chipped in with two assists.
Carey Price played very well in the Canadiens' 5-3 win over Columbus Tuesday night.
Price was stellar, making 33 saves on 36 shots. He improved his record to 7-8-1, looking like he has righted the ship of late.
Mathieu Garon was less than spectacular in the Blue Jackets' 5-3 loss to Montreal Tuesday night.
Garon got the start because Steve Mason played on Monday. He had 24 saves, allowing all five goals.
Daniel Briere has been suspended for two games for a hit on the Avalanche defender Scott Hannan on Monday night.
Briere left his feet and elbowed Hannan in the neck in a blindside hit. Hannan left the game and did not return, but Briere was not even given a penalty on the play. He will be eligible to return on Saturday in Atlanta.
Pascal Leclaire will be sidelined for up to four weeks due to a broken cheekbone.
He will undergo surgery to repair the problem and may miss a month of action. The injury took place on Monday night when he was serving as the backup on the bench and a puck ricocheted off the glass and hit him in the face. That is one of the strangest and most unfortunate injuries to occur in a long time. Brian Elliot will likely carry the load in Leclaire's place, while the team has recalled Mike Brodeur from their AHL affiliate in Binghamton.
Chuck Kobasew (upper body) is expected to return to the Wild lineup on Wednesday night against his former Boston Bruins teammates.
He was dealt to Minnesota by the Bruins on October 18th. Kobasew has appeared in 11 games with the Wild, while scoring one goal and two assists. He has missed the last four games due to an upper-body injury.
Dwayne Roloson made a staggering 58 saves and the New York Islanders dropped the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 in overtime.
Roloson was sensational as the Maple Leafs through everything at him but the kitchen sink. The 40-year-old netminder is now 7-2-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .916 save percentage. He is currently the Islanders number one netminder, ahead of Martin Biron and will give Rick DiPietro a run for his money, if DiPietro is ever healthy enough to return this season.
