MONTREAL -- The Sharks Logan Couture wont score many easier goals. http://www.hockeycanadiensnhl.com/authen...nadiens-jersey/ . Couture got his second of the game in San Joses 2-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night when a third period dump-in took an inexplicable bounce off the glass and landed on his stick. Couture made no mistake in front of the gaping net. "Ive gotten a couple of empty-net goals already this year," said a grinning Couture. "Ive been lucky." The Sharks were up 1-0 when veteran Patrick Marleau dumped the puck into the Canadiens zone. Carey Price, who had anticipated retrieving the puck behind his net, couldnt get back in time when it instead fell to Couture. "Its not the way you want to get scored on," said Price, who made 35 saves on the night. "Its the way it bounces sometimes. Theyre a good team. Thats what they do. Theyre a very structured team and they played a perfect road game today." Defender Josh Gorges was on the ice when the Sharks doubled their lead. Gorges unsuccessfully sprawled in front of Couture to stop the shot. "Obviously, its unfortunate that bounce, but when things like that happen we need to be able to respond the right way. We didnt get it going again after that," said Gorges. "You never expect something like. Youre never prepared for something like that. But those are the breaks in the game. Down 2-0, we still had a chance." But the Canadiens, who only took six shots on net in the third period, couldnt find an answer to Antti Niemis play. Niemi made 22 saves for his second shutout of the season and league-leading ninth win. The Finnish goaltender, whos played every game for the Sharks this year, is allowing an average of less than two goals a game, backed by a cool .933 save percentage. "When youre confident and when you can be patient, sometimes just wait for the puck to get to you, it gives you more time to react," said Niemi. "Im feeling like that right now." After a scoreless first period in which San Jose outshot Montreal 11-8, Couture scored his first of the game on the power-play at 6:20 of the second period. With the Montreal faithful calling for a tripping penalty on Couture, Joe Thornton sent a precise pass onto Coutures stick. The 24-year-old made no mistake from close range for his fifth goal of the year. Couture took defender Raphael Diaz out of the play right before the goal. There was no call on the play. "We thought that we could have had a few more power plays," said Montreal head coach Michel Therrien. "Thats the way it is. What are you going to do?" With the assist on the goal, Thornton inched ever closer to a milestone. The Sharks captain, who sits second in most assists amongst active players behind Jaromir Jagr, now needs two more assists to reach 800 in his career. The Habs lack of discipline almost cost them again later in the period when Couture rifled a shot past Price that hit the post. Montreal took four minor penalties on the night. The Sharks only took one. "We got ourselves into some penalty trouble," said captain Brian Gionta. "When were taking too many, its a good indication that were not in the game, or that our speed isnt there. "They were on us all night long. We couldnt seem to generate much. We have to do a better job." Notes: The injury-troubled Canadiens were without Daniel Briere (concussion), Max Pacioretty (hamstring), George Parros (concussion), and Brandon Prust (shoulder). ... Defender Dan Boyle has been out of the Sharks lineup with a head injury since taking a hit from former Hab Maxim Lapierre on Oct. 15. The Sharks were also without forward Brent Burns (sore gums). ...
