Giddy like a schoolgirl.

The first thing I did when I got home today was check the NHL.com. Last night the major networks and league officials sat down with some arena schedules and a map of some time zones and after i'm sure what was a frustrating night... out came this:






And with some Habs news, goaltender Carey Price was named first star in the NHL 3 Stars of the Week.

FIRST STAR – CAREY PRICE, G, MONTREAL CANADIENS

Price posted a 3-0-0 record with a 0.67 goals-against average, .977 save percentage and one shutout as the Canadiens (47-25-10, 104 points) finished first overall in the Eastern Conference. He stopped all 32 shots in posting his third shutout of the season, a 3-0 win over the Ottawa Senators Apr. 1. On Apr. 3, he stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres and closed the week with a 26-save effort in a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, Apr. 5. Price has posted a record of 24-12-3 with a 2.56 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and three shutouts in 41 appearances this season.





The NHL Draft lottery is also held tonight. You can catch it at 9pm Atlantic Time (8pm EST)
