Peter Budaj gets lit up in 5-1 loss
Peter Budaj - G - Montreal Canadiens
Jan. 30, 2013 - 10:55 PM ET

Peter Budaj had a miserable night in Montreal's 5-1 loss to the Senators on Wednesday.

In his first start of the season, the 30-year-old backup made only 22 saves. There's no doubt that Montreal will ride Carey Price hard this season, but the compressed schedule emphasizes even more the importance of two serviceable goaltenders. Budaj had a 2.55 goals-against average and .913 save percentage last season.
