Only a small slide...

The Montreal Canadiens stopped their bad streak defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-2 at the Bell Centre.

Thomas Plekanec scored 2 goals and linemate Alex Kovalev scored too. Their line, along with Sergei Samsonov were too often silent but yesterday they were hot. Using their speed, they created a ton of chances all game long. Christobal Huet did good in net and adds a victory to his record.

The Habs, still 4th, keeps up a good pace in the NHL Eastern conference.
