CALGARY – Carey Price said it may have been his best game of the season.
The Calgary goaltender made 22 saves for his third shutout of the campaign as the Chinook downed the Parry Sound Orrsmen 3-0 on Sunday night.
But he gave a lot of credit to his defense.
"The guys did a great job of blocking guys out," said Price, who shut out Parry Sound posting his third clean sheet of his career. "I saw most of the shots and the ones I didn't just seem to hit me.
"They had a few scoring chances, but they cleared a lot of garbage and blocked a lot of shots."
R. O’Reilly scored in the first period and Shattenkirk, Granlund scored in the second for the Chinook, who were unbeaten in 8 games since the upset by the Dayton Musicmen.
The Chinook moved eight points clear of Springfield for the first place in the league.
Crosby had an assist in tonight’s outing which puts him in a three-way tie for the league-leading 40 points with Getzlaf and Draisaitl.
"To be honest, I thought it was a pretty routine game for him," said Crosby. "The thing about Price is he makes the saves look easy. He's one of the best goaltenders in the league. For me, it was just another game for him."
NOTES:
Shattenkirk scored his first goal of the season on a power play chance in the second period.
Condon was stellar tonight stopping 57 shots of 60 shots.
UP NEXT:
The Calgary Chinook will take a three-day break and visits the Ottawa Barracudas on Thursday.
