PERRY BURIES HABS IN 4-0 VICTORY

Anaheim Ducks winger Corey Perry scores twice to give Anaheim their first win of the season at home. Defenseman Nick Boynton and rookie winger Dan Sexton also scored as the Ducks took the second of back-to-back-to-back games against the Montreal Canadiens.
 After a short time, the Ducks and Canadiens were back at it.  This time the Ducks took it to the Habs, scoring on both power plays and causing some controversy along the way.

The scoring opened up at the 17:37 mark of the first period as Perry ripped a slap shot over the shoulder of Montreal Canadien goaltender Jaroslav Halak.

Everything seemed to going right for the Ducks, as they received two powerplays throughout the game. They converted on both powerplays, with Sexton and Perry each scoring. But it was Perry's goal that took the wind out of the Canadiens' sails.



Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer took a shot from the point. It careened off a Canadiens player and right to the feet of Perry, where it seems to deflect off of his skate and into the net. The refs did not go upstairs for a replay and the goal stood, infuriating the Habs and their fanbase.

Being up 3-0, the Ducks kept their foot on the peddle, with defenseman Nick Boynton scoring on a screened shot.



The few chances the Habs had, Ducks netminder Jonas Hiller was there. When there was a breakdown on defense, Hiller stood tall.



With rumors of a Saku Koivu deal that would bring him back to Montreal breaking down, Koivu showed why the Habs want him back by picking up two assists.
