MONTREAL (AP) Jeff Petry had four assists, Carey Price made 29 saves and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Florida Panthers 4-0 on Saturday.
Nick Suzuki, Artturi Lehkonen, Tomas Tatar and Brendan Gallagher scored for the Canadiens (24-22-7), who improved to 6-2-0 in their last eight games.
It was Price’s third shutout of the season and No. 47 of his career. Petry recorded his first career four-point game.
Playing their first game since Jan. 21, the Panthers (28-17-5) were shut out for the first time this season. They had won six in a row, scoring at least four goals in each of the victories.
Price beat Sergei Bobrovsky in a battle of the NHL’s two highest-paid goaltenders. Bobrovsky stopped 31 shots.
Florida center Aleksander Barkov left in the second period after taking a hit from Shea Weber along the end boards.
