The Montreal Canadiens' assault on the record books continued unabated Saturday night.

Montreal achieved a trio of notable feats in a 5-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings:

• The Canadiens won their 10th straight home game to start a season for the first time in their 99-year NHL history.
• Montreal is the third team in league history to win its first 10 home games in a season, joining the 1925-26 Ottawa Senators (10-0-0) and the 1963-64 Chicago Black Hawks (11-0-0).
• Carey Price became the first goaltender in NHL history to win each of his first 10 games to begin a campaign.

Michel Therrien said it's getting difficult to come up with new ways to explain Price's dominance.

"It's hard to describe his performances because we're constantly repeating ourselves," the Canadiens head coach told reporters postgame, according to NHL.com's Arpon Basu.

The Canadiens won their fourth consecutive game and improved to 13-1-1 with the shutout win.

Montreal matched the franchise record for consecutive home wins to start a season in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Michal Neuvirth left Saturday's game versus the Minnesota Wild with an injury that Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly reports is a left knee sprain.

Neuvirth played the first 20 minutes, with Steve Mason coming into the crease to start the season period. Neuvirth allowed one goal on seven shots.

Flyers general manager Ron Hextall confirmed that Neuvirth will be reevaluated Sunday.

This is one superstitious celebration we can get behind.

Montreal Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk rubbed teammate Andrew Shaw's mustache after the pair teamed up to score a goal against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.

Shaw got credit for the second-period marker that gave the Canadiens a 4-0 lead.

The Arizona Coyotes reportedly have a specific price tag in any trade discussions about Martin Hanzal.

"What I'm told they're saying to people is, 'Unless we get a young player who can play right now, preferably a center, we're not going to do it,'" Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday's "Headlines" segment.

Hanzal said he'd prefer to shut down contract negotiations with the Coyotes when asked about his future in Arizona last month.

The 29-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent who's played more than 64 games only once in the last five 82-game campaigns.

He's currently injured and has four points in nine contests this season.

Kris Letang just wanted to get off the ice, and well, he certainly accomplished that.

The Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman fell into the bench with the door open as he tried to get off the ice to prevent a too many men penalty.

Letang looked no worse for wear after emerging from the floor, and Marc-Andre Fleury had a chuckle at his teammate's expense.

Shea Weber scored a power-play goal on a slap shot. This is not a recording.

The Montreal Canadiens defenseman did what he does best Saturday, blasting home a one-timer with the man advantage to give his new club a 3-0 lead over Jimmy Howard and the Detroit Red Wings late in the first period.

Weber's sixth goal in 15 games was his fifth power-play marker of the season.

It's still way too early to determine a winner in the P.K. Subban trade, but Weber is proving his worth in Montreal.

The New Jersey Devils have acquired forward Petr Straka from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2017 or 2018, the team announced Saturday.

Straka was drafted 55th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2010. He signed as a free agent with the Flyers in 2013.

Straka has not appeared in a game this season. He recorded 19 goals and 18 assists in 64 games last season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the Flyers' AHL affiliate.

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson settled with six of his eight creditors in bankruptcy court Friday, according to Aaron Portzline of Columbus Dispatch.

The agreement will reportedly see Johnson liquidate two homes and a Ferrari, and forfeit nearly all of his earnings over this season and next - a total of $10 million minus a sum of $246,000 per season for "living expenses." As one creditor noted, according to Portzline, the deal will make Johnson "the lowest-paid player in the NHL for the next two seasons."

After his seven-year, $30.5-million contract expires at the end of the 2017-18 season, he'll be allowed to keep $277,050.50 of any contract he signs until his debts are paid off.

The two remaining creditors - owed a combined $2 million - have still not reached an agreement with Johnson.

The 29-year-old applied for bankruptcy protection two years ago after learning that his parents, Jack Sr. and Tina, who had control of his finances, took out nearly 20 high-interest loans in his name, and defaulted on some - all allegedly without Johnson's knowledge.

According to Portzline, his debts were believed to total $10 million when he first filed for bankruptcy protection, while others close to him suggest that number may be higher.

The Florida Panthers have claimed Seth Griffith on waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Griffth was placed on the waivers with Josh Leivo and Matt Hunwick due to return from conditioning loan and injured reserve, respectively.

The right-shot forward, who arrived in Toronto earlier this season via waivers from the Boston Bruins, was pointless in three games for the Maple Leafs.

He should find a greater opportunity to contribute with the Panthers, who have dealt with a variety of injuries so far this season.

Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella raised eyebrows last week when he called Ryan Reaves, a St. Louis Blues winger of African-American descent, an "animal" in an emotional postgame interview that included praise for captain Nick Foligno, who fought Reaves in the loss.

Some considered this a thinly veiled slur directed at a black player, and others as explicit. And then there's some, including Reaves, who considered it typical hockey jargon.

"I saw the comments," Reaves said this week, according to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch. "It's exactly what's wrong now. People blow nothing into something real quick. It didn't even cross my mind that it was something even remotely disrespectful to me."

Tortorella told Portzline he was immediately informed about the subject: "It just knocked me down." He quickly tracked down Reaves to explain what he meant by the comment.

"He said, 'You didn't have to call me,'" Tortorella explained. "I told him what was meant, and he says, 'I know that.' We had a great conversation. We play them (on Saturday). I told him I hope we kick the hell out of the Blues, but I hope he has a great rest of the year."

Then he explained to Portzline:

"That comment is respect for that player, what he has to do. It's one of the hardest jobs in our league every night, and so I have total respect for him. That's the part of the comment that people have run with, but it was really meant as a compliment to that young man in St. Louis."

Tortorella has used "animal" to describe other players and their work ethic. This includes goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and former Blue Jackets enforcer Jared Boll, as noted by Portzline.
