MONTREAL -- Max Pacioretty scored a game-winning goal, but wasnt exactly in the mood to celebrate. Taylor Hearn Rangers Jersey . The Montreal winger sent Boston defenceman Johnny Boychuk to hospital with a check into the boards in the first period and then got the go-ahead goal in the second frame of the Canadiens 2-1 victory over the arch-rival Bruins on Thursday night. It was Paciorettys ninth goal in the last nine games, and helped stretch Montreals unbeaten run to nine games (8-0-1). It also put Montreal (18-9-3) into first place in the Atlantic Division, a point ahead of Boston (18-8-2), which has two games in hand. But Pacioretty wasnt smiling. "It wasnt really a strong game for me," the big left-winger said. "I got the life sucked out of me when that injury happened. I just felt awful." Only 4:28 into the teams first meeting of the season, Pacioretty checked Boychuk into the end boards in the Montreal zone. The Bruins defenceman went face first into the top of the boards and fell to the ice. He was on his knees, taking heavy breaths, for several minutes before trainers and medical staff got him onto a stretcher and off the ice. After the game, coach Claude Julien said Boychuk was released from hospital and would travel with the team back to Boston. He had no details about the injury, which Bruins players said appeared to be a back problem. The hit wasnt hard, but it was somewhat from behind. Pacioretty was given two minutes for boarding, which both teams felt was the right call. "I felt terrible about it because I didnt really know what happened," said Pacioretty. "I was just battling for the puck. Ive been in that situation before. I had no intent to injury anybody." The Bruins seemed to agree, as no one rushed in seeking vengeance as often happens when a player is hurt. It quieted the Bell Centre crowd and took some steam out of the play on the ice for the rest of the period, however. "I think they gave me the benefit of the doubt," said Pacioretty. And the Canadiens, outshot 10-3 in the opening frame and down 1-0 on a goal by Gregory Campbell, jumped on Boston in the second with an 18-7 shot advantage and goals from Tomas Plekanec and Pacioretty. The Bruins stormed back in the third, but couldnt beat Carey Price, who made 32 saves for the night. Montreal shot 27 times on Tuukka Rask. Boston had not played since Saturday, while Montreal was coming off a 4-3 shootout win Wednesday night in New Jersey. The Canadiens were in their third game in four nights and their sixth in nine nights. They should have been easy pickings for the Bruins. "The second period was atrocious," Julien said. "It was unacceptable. "There are no excuses about playing with five defencemen. We have to look in the mirror." Boston got the first goal at the 17:35 mark. Andrei Markov cleared the puck to the Boston blue-line, where Dennis Seidenberg kicked it forward, sending Milan Lucic in on a two-on-one break. The big winger slipped a pass to Campbell for a shot into an open side. Plekanec tied it 9:16 into the second when he beat Rask from a tight angle with a medium speed wrist shot. A burst of speed from Brendan Gallagher caused confusion in the Boston defence and Pacioretty backhanded a Raphael Diaz rebound in from the slot at 17:42. Paciorettys last nine goals have all come in five games on home ice. "The first one was off to the side of the net and I gave (Plekanec) too much net to shoot at," said Rask. "The second was a high rebound and he scored. "But if you look at how we played in the second period, you cant be happy with that." Montreal has now beaten Boston four straight times dating to last season. "Im proud of my players," said Montreal coach Michel Therrien, whose team plays again Saturday night at home against Buffalo. "Even if we had a slow start, we adjusted well in the second period. "My players emptied the tank and they were rewarded." The teams meet again Jan. 30 in Boston.

Sedin has logged 311 goals, 514 assists and 825 points since being drafted second overall by the Canucks in 1999. His twin brother Henrik Sedin, taken one pick after Daniel, reached the 1,000-game milestone last season, posting 198 goals, 664 assists and 862 points in 1,030 games. Daniel and Henrik Sedin are tied for the club lead with 20 points, with Henrik logging five goals and 15 assists and Daniel Sedin posting four goals and a club-high 16 helpers. It will be emotional for myself, for sure, Daniel Sedin said of the milestone. To play this long for this franchise means a lot. Weve been through a lot, ups and downs. Weve been through everything. Vancouver is a little more up than down this season as it tries to rebound from missing the 2014 playoffs. The Canucks are third in the Pacific Division with a record of 13-6-1. They dropped a 4-3 shootout decision to the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday, falling to 3-1-1 in their past five games. Jannik Hansen and Radim Vrbata both scored and Bo Horvat added the first NHL goal of his career. Eddie Lack made 23 saves in defeat. You have to give the team credit, Vancouver head coach Willie Desjardins said. They came back. Its not that they didnt battle. Vancouver did suffer a blow when defenseman Dan Hamhuis was lost to a llower- body injury 1:27 into the game. Jeffrey Springs Jersey. His status is unknown, but he could reportedly be out for months with the ailment. Ryan Miller is expected to start in goal for the Canucks tonight and is 2-3-0 with a 2.53 goals against average and .925 save percentage in five starts against the Blackhawks. Chicago plays the third contest of a six-game swing, with the club on its annual Circus Trip. The Hawks have won the first two, beating Calgary two days before a 7-1 thumping of the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. Jonathan Toews scored twice and Marian Hossa added a goal and three assists in Chicagos third straight win and sixth in the past eight. Patrick Kane and Kris Versteeg each had a goal and an assist, while Duncan Keith and Marcus Kruger scored as well. I know weve been on the other end of games like this, said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville. Its a lot better to be at the other side of this sort of game. Antti Raanta was slated to start last nights game, but was unable to go due to illness. No. 1 goaltender Corey Crawford stepped in and made 24 saves. It is unknown who will start for Chicago tonight. Crawford is 5-2-2 with a 2.08 GAA and .931 save percentage in his career versus the Canucks, while Raanta has faced them just once before and took a shootout loss after halting 22-of-24 shots faced. The Blackhawks won two of three versus the Canucks last season, picking up both victories in Vancouver. ' ' '
