Vancouver @ Montreal 0-3
The Montreal Canadiens have the best 10-game start in their history, thanks in large part to their goaltender. Carey Price made 42 saves for his first shutout of the season, a 3-0 win against the Vancouver Canucks at Bell Centre. The Canadiens (9-0-1) have 19 points in the standings after 10 games for the first time. Montreal had 18 points last season (9-1-0) and in 1943-44 (8-0-2).
Second-period goals by Nathan Beaulieu and Torrey Mitchell helped the Canadiens extend their winning streak to eight games. Alexander Radulov scored an empty-net goal with 1:55 remaining in the third period. Ryan Miller made 19 saves for the Canucks (4-5-1), who lost their sixth straight game after starting the season with four straight wins. Vancouver was shut out for the third time in its past four games.
The Canucks outshot the Canadiens 13-3 in the first period and were outshooting them 22-3 at 6:00 of the second period. The shots were 26-10 Canucks when Beaulieu gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead at 12:22 of the second, scoring his first of the season on a rebound off a shot by Brendan Gallagher. It was the fourth goal of Beaulieu's NHL career, his first at Bell Centre. The Canadiens went ahead 2-0 at 19:11 when Mitchell scored on a feed from Philip Danault on a 2-on-1 for his fifth goal on his ninth shot on goal of the season. The Canadiens scored on their 11th and 13th shots on goal, and the Canucks were outshooting them 30-13 after Mitchell scored. At about the midway point of the third period, Price made a left-shoulder save on a chance by Loui Eriksson on the doorstep off a feed from Brandon Sutter to maintain a 2-0 lead.

Montreal @ Columbus 0-10
The Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Montreal Canadiens 10-0 at Nationwide Arena. It was a Blue Jackets record for goals in a game and margin of victory.
Cam Atkinson, Scott Hartnell, Nick Foligno and Josh Anderson each had two goals for Columbus (5-3-1), which previously scored eight goals in a game three times. Alexander Wennberg had an NHL career-high four assists, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 30 saves for his third shutout in his past six games.
The Canadiens lost 10-0 for the fourth time in their history to tie their largest margin of defeat. Backup Al Montoya made 30 saves for Montreal (9-1-1), which had won eight in a row. It allowed 13 goals in the previous 10 games but gave up eight in the first 38 1/2 minutes to the Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets, winners of three straight, also got goals from defensemen Seth Jones and David Savard. Columbus scored three goals in 3:10 of the first period to take a 3-0 lead. Atkinson scored at 10:56 and Jones got his third at 11:54 before Savard scored at 14:06.
Atkinson started a stretch of four goals in 9:28 in the second period with his fourth goal of the season at 4:01. Foligno scored on the power play at 10:12 and Hartnell's power-play goal at 11:53 put Columbus up 6-0. Foligno scored his fourth goal at 13:39 and Anderson's long backhand was the eighth goal at 18:32 of the second when the Blue Jackets tied their record with five goals in a period.
Columbus, the best power play in the NHL, went 4-for-5 against the No. 3 penalty kill. Montreal coach Michel Therrien said he kept Montoya in because he wanted to save Carey Price for the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.
Anderson had a no-look, excuse-me backhand shot from near the top of the right faceoff circle in the second period. Bobrovsky held onto a wrist shot by Tomas Plekanec at 18:46 of the third period for his 30th and final save.
If the Canadiens had any hope of getting back into the game when trailing 4-0, it ended at 8:13 of the second period when Gallagher took a double minor for high sticking Wennberg. Foligno scored with one second left on the first power play and Hartnell scored on the second power play for 6-0 lead.
Columbus had 16 players get at least one point. The skaters who did not were defenseman Ryan Murray and forward Lukas Sedlak. Rookie defenseman Markus Nutivaara got his first NHL point by assisting on Savard's goal. … Bobrovsky is 5-1-1 with a 1.29 goals-against average and .960 save percentage in the past seven games. … The Montreal record for goals allowed is 11. It's happened six times, most recently Feb. 12, 1995.
