Rene Bourque, who was unavailable for practice Tuesday because of illness, was ready to go by Wednesday night. The goal was his second since joining Montreal and came in the dirty area in front of the net, an area the Habs have been loath to populate. (Updated 01/26/2012).
02/11/2012 22:24 Price perfect in net, Canadiens hammer five goals on Maple Leafs

02/07/2012 22:34 Canadiens top Penguins in shootout
Tomas Plekanec scored on Montreal's eighth attempt in the shootout to lead the Canadiens to a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.
02/02/2012 22:03 Devils rally with 4 straight goals vs. Habs
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.
One might be surprised to learn that Calgary ranked seventh in the league with a team average of 2.94 goals per game last season. Bourque had a lot to do with it, as he triggered the lamp 27 times for the second consecutive season. Sometimes the undrafted winger endures long stretches without any points, but heath permitting, he's a good bet to fall in the neighborhood of 45-60 points by the time the season comes to a close.
