Montreal Canadiens defenceman Douglas Murray has been suspended three games for an elbow to the head of Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Mike Kostka during Tuesday nights 3-1 loss. Red Auerbach Jersey . With just over two minutes remaining in the third period, Kostka carried the puck over the blue line into the Canadiens zone when he was met by the raised elbow of Murray. Murray was assessed a match penalty on the play. On Wednesday, the Lightning announced that Kostka was diagnosed with a concussion and have not yet set a timetable for his return. Coach Jon Cooper said that Kostka is doing well, but has no recollection of the hit. Though Lightning captain Steven Stamkos called Murray a “clean, honest player,” he took umbrage with the hit on Kostka. "But that play was dirty," Stamkos said to the Tampa Bay Times. "Thats a flying elbow right to the jaw, and (Kostka) is absolutely knocked out on the ice. I dont think anyone can argue the fact, if theyve seen the replay and seen multiple angles of the replay, that was a dirty play." Murray told Montreal reporters that he never intended to hurt Kostka. "Hes cutting through, and Im trying to finish my check,” the 34-year-old Swede said. "I dont think Im a dirty player." In his nine seasons in the NHL, Murray has never been disciplined by the league. Murray becomes the 30th player to be suspended during the 2013-14 season and the first Canadien.

Im relying on the guys around me and theyre relying on me. Right now, we have perfect harmony going.Price has been at the top of his game of late. He showed it midway through the first period with a spectacular glove save on a close-in shot from Brooks Laich.He did even better as the Canadiens took consecutive minors in the second frame, with a quick pad save on Troy Brouwer from the slot and glove save through traffic on Nicklas Backstrom. Alex Ovechkin, whose shift lasted 4:17, and John Carlson hit posts during the same sequence.But Prices teammate are getting used to seeing their goaltender keep them in games long enough to pull out wins.You get goose bumps when youre stepping out of the tunnel because you want to step up for him, Pacioretty said of Price. It sounds cheesy, but he really is the backbone of this team.When we let him down by giving up a chance thats not deserved and he makes a big save, I think we bear down a bit harder for him.

His monster shift in the second frame was likely his best chance, as well as one where he cut to the inside, plowed through three Canadiens and got off a shot in the first period.Hes a beast when it comes to being on the ice, said Trotz. In the first period he did that lateral cut and it was like three bowling pins bounced off him.Montreal stays put to play Arizona while the Capitals return home to face St. Louis on Sunday afternoon.Notes: It is the 24th time since 1991 Montreal plays two afternoon games on Super Bowl weekend.
