MONTREAL -- After being bumped in his crease for a second time in one period, ever-steady Canadiens goaltender Carey Price lost it.Price, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, pummeled New Jersey forward Kyle Palmieri with his blocker in the first period of Montreals 5-2 victory over the Devils on Thursday night.Earlier in the period, Price was bumped by Adam Henrique as the Devils center scored a goal. After Palmieri slid into Prices knees, the goaltender jumped on him and pounded on his head and back.I got run over on the first goal and then I took another one and I got fired up, I guess, Price said.Palmieri got a minor for goalie interference, while Price got four minutes for roughing.It was nice to see the fire, Montreals Torrey Mitchell said. Everyone thinks hes just a calm, laid-back guy, but hes competitive.All of us in here know that, so it was nice to see him fight back a little bit there. Obviously we dont want him doing that. We want to step in for him. But hes a competitive guy, so it was nice to see.Palmieri, who was dragged away by Jeff Petry as Price kept swinging, called it just a hockey play.Ive done it probably 50 to 100 times in my career, Palmieri added. You go to the net and either its a trip or a push or you lose an edge. Its going to the net. Thats where you score goals. You go to the net, try to put a good shot on and you lose control.I dont know the rule, but any time youre on the ice defenseless and youre taking a blocker to the back of the head, its not a great situation to be in.Price settled down the rest of the way and made 19 saves while the Canadiens fired a season-high 49 shots at Cory Schneider.Mitchell scored twice, and Phillip Danault, Artturi Lehkonen and Max Pacioretty also had goals for the Canadiens in their return from a five-game trip.Henrique scored a goal and set up one by Taylor Hall for New Jersey, which ended a two-game winning streak.A wild first period included three goals, four goal reviews and Prices meltdown.Danault, who skipped the team skate Thursday morning due to an illness, opened the scoring at 12:49 on a disputed goal when he tipped Nathan Beaulieus shot past Schneider. The goal stood through an official review for a high stick and Devils coach John Hynes challenge that Danault interfered with Schneider just outside the crease.Henrique tied it at 16:19 after banking in?P.A. Parenteaus shot. ?Even though Henrique rammed into Price on the play, the goal was upheld after two reviews.At 17:15, Mitchell elected to shoot on a 2-on-1, and the rebound went in off New Jersey forward Nick Lappins skate. Andrew Shaw picked up his second assist of the game on the goal.Schneider withstood another small bump before Lehkonen scored into an open side at 9:59 of the second, but at that point, both coaches had used up their challenges.Pacioretty was alone in front to score on a backhand that trickled through Schneiders pads 45 seconds into the third after Alexander Radulov forced a turnover.Henrique made a clever backhand pass for Hall to score into an open side on a power play at 3:07. Hall has scored in three straight games.Mitchell reached in from behind the net to tuck in his second of the game at 15:49.Game notes: Montreal announced that D Greg Pateryn, who took a shot off his foot Tuesday in St. Louis, will be out about eight weeks with a fractured ankle. ....
