NHL; Habs Knot Series With Knights

LAS VEGAS (AP) – The Montreal Canadiens aren’t going to go away quietly in the Stanley Cup semifinals.  The Habs have evened the series at a game apiece as Carey Price stopped 29 saves in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Las Vegas. Price improved to 9-4 in the playoffs, his most victories in a postseason. Eight of those wins have come in Montreal’s last nine games.  Paul Byron, Joel Armia  and Tyler Toffoli scored for Montreal, with Byron making it 3-0 with 2:45 left in the second period. The Habs have won 21 straight playoff games when scoring at least three goals.  Alex Pietrangelo scored twice for Vegas and Marc-Andre Fleury made 20 saves.  The Knights had won five in a row since dropping the first two games of their second-round series in Colorado.  Game 3 is Friday night in Montreal.
