Another one bites the dust

Habs continued their Western Conference roadtrip with another notch in the win column. They handled the Los Angelas Kings easily 5-2 and now continue the battle for supremacy in the Eastern Conference with 85 points. (New Jersey is 1 point behind and are currently playing the Leafs, so you can pretty much figure that one out.)

Jaroslav Halak started in nets and had a busy night facing no less than 37 shots. And the skaters put in an even performance with goals coming from: Patrice Brisebois; Saku Koivu; Guillaume Latendresse; Andrei Kostitsyn; and former L.A. King Tom Kostopoulos.

The Canadiens are in for probably their first real test of this roadtrip as they face the Anaheim (formerly Mighty) Ducks tomorrow at 8pm EST.

On another note, the Penguins are in Washington tomorrow (12:30pm EST start) for the famous CROSBY-OVECHKIN SHOWDOWN *insert dramatic music*. Should be a good one.
