Rangers romp over Price-less Canadiens

Montreal's star goalie yanked in embarrassing 7-2 loss to New York

The Canadiens might have lost more than just the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals to the New York Rangers. Montreal goalie Carey Price was pulled from Saturday's 7-2 blowout after two periods - perhaps in part because of an injury.

With New York leading by two goals, Price was on the receiving end of a big collision early in the second period when Rangers forward Chris Kreider drove to the net on a breakaway but then lost his balance as he shot the puck. He stumbled and slid skate-first into Price.
