This was huge. The Caps while digging deep into their bench shut out the Canadiens tonight to remain unbeaten at home this season. The Caps have lost only once at home in ten games, and never in regulation. Caps scoring came from Tomas Fleischmann, Alex Ovechkin, and David Steckel.
Montreal Coach Guy Carbonneau had this to say about the Caps play, "We knew they had injuries or something like that. Having that kind of record at home is not a fluke. They came to work and we didn't. We didn't respond."
Washington's goalie Jose Theodore was outstanding in the net. Stopping 28 shots on goal, playing tough throughout the game as Montreal threw everything they had at him.
