Zach Parise scored two goals, including the go-ahead tally with 2:44 remaining, and the New Jersey Devils beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-3 on Thursday.
Desjardins inked a one-year, two way deal with Montreal this past July and could battle Petr Budaj for the role of Carey Price's backup this coming season. He played last season in the Colorado organization, posting a 16-11-5 record with a 2.11 goals-against average with Lake Erie (AHL). He last played in the NHL in the 2010-11 season, winning both of his starts with Tampa Bay. Monitor the training camp battle between Desjardins and Budaj, although neither netminder will have terribly much value if Price remains healthy. (Updated 8/14/12)
