TAMPA, Fla. -- Montreal goalie Carey Price had his second strong game this season against Tampa Bay, and this time got a much better result. Lars Eller scored the lone shootout goal, Price stopped all three shots he faced in the tiebreaker, and the Canadiens beat the Lightning 2-1 on Saturday night. "I really appreciated our team effort," Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. "The energy was there right from the get-go. Guys competed hard, they were quick on puck, and we didnt force plays when we didnt have to." Valtteri Filppula, Nikita Kucherov and Teddy Purcell all failed to score on Price, who made 44 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Lightning on Nov. 12. "Youve got to be happy with three saves," Price said. Eller made a couple moves before beating Ben Bishop on the Canadiens first shootout attempt. Eller has made all three of his shootout attempts this season. Tomas Plekanec scored in regulation for Montreal. Price stopped 23 shots through overtime. "Hes been phenomenal," Therrien said about Price. "In the third period, when they gave us a push, he was making key saves. He showed again tonight he is one of the best goalies in the NHL." Martin St. Louis scored for the Lightning, who also got 20 saves in regulation and overtime from Bishop. Tampa Bay had its five-game winning streak end. "If there is a silver lining, we do get a point out of this," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. Plekanec opened the scoring, beating Bishop with a backhander 5:15 into the second period. It was his 169th goal, which moved him past Shayne Corson and Gilles Tremblay into sole possession of 31st place on Montreals career list. St. Louis tied it from the top of the right circle on Tampa Bays sixth shot of the game at 11:43 of the second. The Lightning captain has a goal in four straight games and eight points during a six-game points streak. Montreal had the first six shots, including an in-close backhander by Daniel Briere and a shot from the left circle from Plekanec. Nate Thompson got Tampa Bays first shot 11 minutes into to the game, a backhander stopped by Price. The Canadiens outshot Tampa Bay 15-9 through two periods. "That was a tough start for us," Cooper said. "Our timing was off, our passes were off. A good thing Bishop was on because that could have gotten ugly for us quickly." Bishop had won his previous five starts, allowing six goals during the stretch. The Lightning had nine of the 11 shots during the first 9 minutes of the third, and 14-6 overall edge in the period. Price made a save midway through the third on Radko Gudas backhander. NOTES: St. Louis has 950 points, two behind Rick Tocchet for 89th on the NHL list. ...

"Beginning of the round my putting wasnt that good," Hur said. "But after turned the nine holes, my putting gets better and better, so I had a low score." Reto, the second-round leader, birdied three of the final five holes for a 70 to match Hur at 15-under 201 on Capitol Hills links-style Senator layout. "I didnt start too well," said Reto, a former Purdue player from South Africa. "I had a couple bogeys and a double there, but I kept patient and just focused on one shot at a time and it kind of helped me out toward the end of the round." Hur won her lone LPGA Tour title in 2009, and Reto is winless in her rookie season. Top-ranked Stacy Lewis and Kris Tamulis were tied for third at 11 under. Lewis, the 2012 winner in the event dropped from the schedule last year after losing its title sponsor, had a 70. "For the way I played, the score ended up pretty good," said Lewis, the tour leader with three victories this year. "I didnt play well. It was kind of a struggle all day and just had to work pretty hard to shoot what I did. But Im still within striking diistance, still have a chance for tomorrow, which that was the goal going into the week.dddddddddddd" Tamulis shot 65, the best round of the day. "I wasnt really trying to chase anybody," Tamulis said. "Didnt have a great middle of my round yesterday, so I was just going out there. I had some really good numbers today and was able to just kind of go for it." Reto rebounded from her double bogey on the par-3 seventh with birdies on the next two holes. "I wasnt kind of where I wanted to be with my mental and stuff," said Reto, who started playing golf at 16 in 2005 when she moved to Florida with her family "So, I just took a couple seconds to myself just to rethink everything, just kind of stayed in there." They will play in the same group again Sunday. "Im just going to focus on each shot and I will do my best for tomorrow," Hur said. "Play with Paula will be fun, not much pressure. I mean, she made me so comfortable." Reto is in position to win after missing 11 cuts in 18 starts this year. "It would be really cool. That would put the cherry on the cake," said Reto, coming off a ninth-place tie in Portland, Oregon. "But Im not going to think about it. Im just going to have fun and stuff." ' ' '
