<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>MONTREAL (AP) -Carey Price made 38 saves for his second shutout, and Bryan Smolinski and Saku Koivu scored first-period goals as the Montreal Canadiens beat New Jersey 4-0 Tuesday night and moved ahead of the Devils into first place in the Eastern Conference. Maxim Lapierre scored in the second period to put Montreal up 3-0, Michael Ryder scored with 2:21 remaining in the third and Montreal ended New Jersey's three-game winning streak. The final minute of the game was played throughout a sustained ovation which was punctuated by a load roar from the sellout crowd of 21,273 at the final siren. Price turned aside 20 shots in the first period and 13 in the second as the Canadiens built a lead despite being outshot 33-18 in the first two periods. The 20-year-rookie improved to 5-2 in seven starts since taking over the No. 1 job when Cristobal Huet was sent to Washington at the trade deadline.</div> http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&am...&gameType=2 Huge confidence booster. The Kostitsyn have played really well in this last stretch.
