MONTREAL

Jeff Petry had a three-point night including a pair of goals, and the Montreal Canadiens torched the

Canucks 6-2 on

Monday.

It’s the third time in less than two weeks that the Canadiens

Adam Gaudette and Jay Beagle responded with goals for Vancouver.

Canadiens netminder Carey Price had 27 saves and Braden Holtby stopped 34-of-40 shots for the Canucks.

The result snapped a fourgame win streak for Vancouver. FLAMES 4, JETS 3 (SO) WINNIPEG — Calgary’s Johnny Gaudreau scored the shootout winner over Winnipeg.
