October 19th, 1982
Anaheim Ducks (4-7-1) at
Montreal Canadiens (8-6-0)
Well like "The Cars" so profoundly sung, "Let the Good Times Roll" as Montreal has won four in row and looking to make it five. The experiment to put
Ladd on the 2nd line and
Ronov on the 1st may not be making a difference, but why take a chance.
The Ducks are led by 27 year old
Nate Elgie. Elgie was the Calder Trophy winner in 1980-81 season after putting up 83 points in 80 games, but a couple of injuries limited him to 55 games and just 39 points last season. So far this season he has played in all 12 games and has 3 goals and 7 points. At RD, the Ducks have 30 year old
Daniel Gallagher. Gallagher wont light up the score sheet in his defensive role, but he does have 20 career NHL goals in 129 games. This season he has 2 goals and 7 points and is +1 on a team that is -7 in goal differential. At LD the Ducks have 40 year old
Johnny Janosz. Janosz is signed until the 84-85 season and looks like he could be effective for a few more years. Not a huge offense producer, Janosz had 24 career goals and 86 points in 176 career games.
The Habs will welcome RW
Ronnie Marvin back into the lineup. He will play the RW on a line with
Tom Gaskell and
Melvin Swiney. The Ducks will have back-up
Bill Gelder in the net, he is sporting a .857 save % in his only game this year.
Mike Blackshear gets his 13th start, he has a .886 save %.
Montreal 3 Anaheim 2
Well it had to be a huge relief for
Yevgeny Ronov, the former QMJHL scoring star finally gets his 1st as a Hab at 7:32 and gives Montreal a 1-0 lead. The lead was very short as the Ducks replied at 8:26 when
Mike Nelson got his 1st of the year. Montreal gets the lead back at 13:01 when another player gets off the goal scoring goose egg, LD
Yegor Berestnev gets his 1st of the season. Montreal leads 2-1 but the Ducks are out shooting us 11 to 8.
Midway through the 2nd, Anaheim's RD
Daniel Gallagher ties it with his 3rd of the year at 10:41. Montreal outshoots the Ducks 11 to 7 in the period and now have the advantage at 19 to 18 but the game is now tied 2-2.
Montreal gets the lead 3-2 at 7:16 of the 3rd when
Tom Gaskell gets his 2nd.
Ronnie Marvin gets an assist in his 1st game back after his injury. Montreal holds off the Ducks the rest of the way out shooting them 21 to 5 in the 3rd and 40 to 23 overall.
Canadiens LD
Yegor Berestnev was named the 1st star with his goal and assist. The 27 year old now has 1 goal and 13 points this season in 15 games. Since 80-81 including 30 games with the Flames before a trade brought him to Montreal, Berestnev has 21 goals and 115 points in 138 career NHL games.
