MONTREAL (Ticker) -- Ilya Kovalchuk's goal in the third round ofthe shootout lifted the Atlanta Thrashers to a 3-2 victory overthe Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.


Kovalchuk wristed a shot between the pads of rookie goaltenderCarey Price for the eventual game-winner.


Alexei Kovalev was the final shooter for Montreal, but hisbackhanded shot deflected off the top of the crossbar and wenthigh, giving Atlanta the win.


Christopher Higgins tied the game with just under two minutesleft in regulation, but Price was unable to pull out a win inhis second straight shootout.


Price stopped all eight chances in a 4-3 victory over thePenguins on Saturday, but was beaten by Bryan Little andKovalchuk on Tuesday.


Atlanta goaltender Johan Hedberg made 31 saves for his firstcareer victory against Montreal in seven tries.


After Kovalev put Montreal on top with a power-play goal at 8:10of the second period, the Thrashers responded with Eric Perrinand Vyacheslav Kozlov scoring unassisted goals 57 seconds apart,thanks to some shaky Montreal defense.


Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov, who had his back to theplay, backhanded the puck right to Perrin at the top of Price'screase. Perrin made no mistake, burying the shot low to theleft for the equalizer at 16:16 of the second.


Play had barely resumed when defenseman Josh Gorges mishandledthe puck just outside the Canadiens' blue line. Kozlov pouncedon the loose puck and skated in alone on Price, sliding the puckinside the left post for a 2-1 advantage at 17:13 of the secondperiod.


Atlanta killed off a two-man advantage by Montreal for 52seconds late in the third period, but on the Canadiens' nextpower play, Higgins evened the game at 2-2.


Saku Koivu received a pass down low from Kozlov and fed the puckin front for Higgins, who fired the puck past Hedberg with 1:58left in the game.


In his first home start, Price made 31 saves for the Canadiens,who had their four-game winning streak snapped.

MONTREAL (Ticker) -- Ilya Kovalchuk's goal in the third round ofthe shootout lifted the Atlanta Thrashers to a 3-2 victory overthe Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.


Kovalchuk wristed a shot between the pads of rookie goaltenderCarey Price for the eventual game-winner.


Alexei Kovalev was the final shooter for Montreal, but hisbackhanded shot deflected off the top of the crossbar and wenthigh, giving Atlanta the win.


"I think we deserved it (the win)," Thrashers goaltender JohanHedberg said. "They (Montreal) were down 2-1 and had playedpretty patiently all game. It was a little more open game inthe third.


"We're happy and we're going to try and build on it."

Christopher Higgins tied the game with just under two minutesleft in regulation, but Price was unable to pull out a win inhis second straight shootout.


"We struggled tonight," Higgins said. "We played a terriblefirst period. That's probably our worst game of the season.

"We didn't deserve that point at all, that's probably the onlypositive we can take away from tonight."


Price stopped all eight chances in a 4-3 victory over thePenguins on Saturday, but was beaten by Bryan Little andKovalchuk on Tuesday.


"I knew they had a few good players," Price said. "You alwayshave to look sharp or any team in the league will make you looksilly.


"Kovalchuk just caught me moving, he cut across and snapped itoff quick."


Hedberg made 31 saves for his first career victory againstMontreal in seven tries.


After Kovalev put Montreal on top with a power-play goal at 8:10of the second period, the Thrashers responded with Eric Perrinand Vyacheslav Kozlov scoring unassisted goals 57 seconds apart,thanks to some shaky Montreal defense.


Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov, who had his back to theplay, backhanded the puck right to Perrin at the top of Price'screase. Perrin made no mistake, burying the shot low to theleft for the equalizer at 16:16 of the second.


Play had barely resumed when defenseman Josh Gorges mishandledthe puck just outside the Canadiens' blue line. Kozlov pouncedon the loose puck and skated in alone on Price, sliding the puckinside the left post for a 2-1 advantage at 17:13 of the secondperiod.


Atlanta killed off a two-man advantage by Montreal for 52seconds late in the third period, but on the Canadiens' nextpower play, Higgins evened the game at 2-2.


"We are a shooting team on the power play," Canadiens coach GuyCarbonneau said. "When we shoot, we have success. When we geton the 5-on-3s - or the 4-on-3s - we seem to look for thatperfect shot."


Saku Koivu received a pass down low from Kovalev and fed thepuck in front for Higgins, who fired the puck past Hedberg with1:58 left in the game.


"It was a pretty nice feed (by Kovalev) that's why he's a (heck)of a player," Higgins said. "I knew he (Hedberg) was going tocome across, so I tried to squeak it through his pads - but itwas a great pass to set it."


In his first home start, Price made 31 saves for the Canadiens,who had their four-game winning streak snapped.


"It was electric in here with 21,273 people, but you can't winthem all," Price said.
