MONTREAL (AP) Petr Mrazek went from a backup goaltender on a losing team to a starting job for a playoff contender when Detroit traded him to Philadelphia. And he understands the pressure that comes with his new role.Mrazek stopped 28 shots for his fourth shutout this season Chicago Blackhawks Hoodies Womens , and Sean Couturier scored in the sixth round of the shootout to give the Flyers a 1-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night.Mrazek is 3-0-0 since the trade, and the Flyers have won a season-best six straight overall.”We got two points tonight against a team that’s out of the playoffs. They can play loose,” Mrazek said. ”It was hard for us to play them. But we stuck together and we played really well.”Every shutout is special for a goaltender but I’d rather take the win.”Philadelphia moved into the top spot in the Metropolitan Division over Washington, which lost at Columbus. The Flyers have earned points in 12 straight games (10-0-2).Backup goalie Charlie Lindgren made 33 saves for Montreal, which has lost eight of nine. The Canadiens have been shut out nine times this year, tying a franchise record.Both teams scored one goal after five shootout rounds before Couturier beat Lindgren in the sixth.Lindgren got credit for his second shutout in his 12th career game.”He’s one of those guys who right from the get-go, he’s come in here and made saves,” Brendan Gallagher said of Lindgren. ”He has a tendency of making big saves at crucial times in games to keep you in it. You appreciate that because it bails you out at times.”Definitely a good player.”The Flyers had a few chances to win before the shootout.Travis Konecny hit the post in overtime before Lindgren robbed captain Claude Giroux on the doorstep with 20 seconds remaining in the extra frame. The Flyers also failed to capitalize on a power play late in the third period.”It was definitely a challenging game and it made it a little bit fun,” Konecny said. ”(Lindgren) played real good tonight. It was harder for us because we’ve never played against him. He stood on his head tonight.”These teams met six days ago Chicago Blackhawks Hats Womens , with Philadelphia coming out on top 3-2 in overtime. Montreal’s Carey Price suffered a concussion in that game when he took a shot to the mask.Lindgren did what he could to prevent another loss.The 24-year-old saved a shot by Couturier with his mask late in the first period. In the second, Oskar Lindblom charged hard to the net but Lindgren stood his ground to keep the shot out.Lindgren set the tone for the third period with a toe save on Konecny’s wrist shot.NOTES: The Canadiens and Flyers were relatively quiet before Monday’s NHL trade deadline. Montreal shipped defenseman Joe Morrow to the Winnipeg Jets for a 2018 fourth-round pick. They also picked up blue-liner Mike Reilly from the Minnesota Wild for a 2019 fifth-rounder. … Philadelphia’s only move at the deadline was claiming Johnny Oduya off waivers from the Ottawa Senators. … The Flyers had lost six consecutive games in Montreal (0-4-2) before Monday. … Philly’s last regulation loss was Feb. 1. … Montreal has earned points in four straight games (2-0-2).UP NEXTFlyers: Host Carolina on Thursday night.Canadiens: Host the New York Islanders on Wednesday night.— NEWARK, N.J. — The Carolina Hurricanes went into the Christmas break feeling good about themselves after a win over the Boston Bruins on Dec. 22. The New Jersey Devils made their return to work a triumphant one Thursday by beating the Bruins.Now the task for two of the teams on the outside looking in of the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture is to figure out how to play all the time like they did against the Bruins.The Devils and Hurricanes will each be looking to build some consistency Saturday afternoon, when New Jersey hosts Carolina at the Prudential Center.Article continues below ...Both teams resumed play Thursday, when the Devils defeated the host Bruins, 5-2, and the visiting Hurricanes fell to the Washington Capitals, 3-1.The Devils (13-16-7) are looking to win consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 13-15 and only the second time since opening the campaign with four straight victories. If New Jersey is to build a winning streak, it will require the type of formula head coach John Hynes saw on display against the Bruins.“Our recipe to be good is we got a great performance in goal Adidas Patrik Berglund Jersey , our special teams were both very good and we had a real detailed, gritty, cohesive, systematic 5-on-5 game,” Hynes said following practice Friday. “And that’s what we need to do to win.”The Hurricanes (15-16-5) have also struggled to string together victories. Carolina is 4-8-2 since its most recent set of back-to-back wins and has just three winning streaks all season.On Thursday, the Hurricanes failed to build on their pre-break win over the Bruins in a sluggish loss to the defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals. Carolina recorded just eight shots apiece in the first and second periods and went 0-for-4 on the power play.“I think we just weren’t ready to go like we needed to be,” Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour told reporters following the game. “That’s on me. I saw it and talked about it, but I should have done something different. I don’t know what, but we were not ready to go like we needed to be against that team at this time of the year.”MacKenzie Blackwood and Petr Mrazek Adidas Vladimir Sobotka Jersey , each of whom started at goalie for the Devils and Hurricanes on Thursday, are likely to be in net again Saturday for their respective teams.Blackwood, a 22-year-old rookie, earned his first NHL win Thursday, when he made 40 saves. Blackwood, who has made four appearances and two starts, has never faced the Hurricanes.Mrazek took the loss Thursday after stopping 30 shots against the Capitals. He is 4-1-0 in six career appearances against the Devils.A pair of key Devils players, left wingers Taylor Hall and Marcus Johansson, will miss Saturday’s game. Hall didn’t play Thursday due to a lower body injury while Johansson Adidas Scott Wedgewood Jersey , who is on injured reserve, has been sidelined the previous two games due to an upper body injury.Hurricanes defenseman Hayden Fleury, who hasn’t played since Dec. 13 due to a concussion, skated with his teammates Friday. His availability for Saturday is uncertain. Carolina may also be without center Jordan Staal, who was out the previous two games with an upper body injury.
