NEW YORK, N.Y. - Carey Price had an early feeling that one goal might be enough to settle the latest matchup between his Montreal Canadiens and longtime Original Six foe, the New York Rangers.Price outdueled counterpart Henrik Lundqvist, and earned a key win on the strength of Max Paciorettys goal with 4:17 left that lifted Montreal over New York 1-0 on Thursday night.I actually thought about that in the first intermission, Price said. Hank was playing really well. Both teams were playing really strong defensive hockey.Pacioretty sent a wrist shot from above the right circle between the legs of Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonagh that appeared to surprise Lundqvist before squeezing inside the right post for his 22nd goal.I dont expect him to shoot, Lundqvist said. When I am about to push to my left, I got stuck in the post. There is no excuse. I have to expect him to shoot, even though its a tough angle.I have to stop it. This is on me, and its a tough feeling.That goal gave Price his 26th win and third shutout of the season in a stellar 24-save effort. Montreal has won four in a row — three with Price in net.Lundqvist made 25 saves for the Rangers, who have lost two straight following the All-Star break and managed only one goal. They were beaten 4-1 by the Islanders on Tuesday.An inch there, an inch here, we might have been able to beat their goaltender, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. They got the goal that made the difference.The Canadiens, eliminated by the Rangers in six games in last years Eastern Conference finals, lead New York by seven points in this seasons playoff race.This rematch had a post-season feel to it.I am just worried about doing my job — stopping the next shot, Price said. Its fun to win games 6-5, but if we want to be successful, were going to have to really bear down on those low-scoring checking games.Tonight we were the team that got the lucky bounce.The netminders took turns in making spectacular saves. Lundqvist snared a shot by Pacioretty with a lunging reach of his glove in the first period that had him staring skyward.Ive shot on him a lot, Pacioretty said. He baited me with the glove and I felt pretty dumb, I took the bait. He was waiting for it. I feel like I couldve shot anywhere else on the net and I wouldve scored.Price shined in the third period, first when he denied Rick Nash on a short-handed breakaway, and then when he turned aside Martin St. Louis with a twisting, sprawling save that left him flat on his back.I just kind of reacted, Price said. I got a shoulder and an ear on it. I thought it went behind me, so I spun around, and it ended up underneath me.Montreal thought it took the lead with 1:56 left in the first when former Ranger Dale Weise ripped a shot that Lundqvist stopped. A video review ensued, and it appeared Lundqvists pad was in the net at the time, but there was no conclusive evidence.The opening period was particularly testy, a somewhat unusual scenario considering the teams hadnt met since New Yorks 5-0 home victory on Nov. 23. The Canadiens won 3-1 in the first game of the season series on Oct. 25.While there was only one fight in the first period — a bout between former Rangers forward Brandon Prust and Tanner Glass with 1:22 remaining — there were several other skirmishes and a near-fight between New Yorks Chris Kreider and physical Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban.The two came together with 6:55 left. Kreider was called for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Subban was whistled for embellishment. They then jawed at each other as they left the box.Kreider dropped his gloves and grabbed Subban, who kept his gloves on. The two returned to the penalty box because of more unsportsmanlike conduct.I knew it was going to be an intense game, Subban said. You have two teams that are probably two of the best teams in the conference. We wanted to make sure we came out with our best performance.The first period ended with a rough scrum along the boards in the Rangers end that featured Montreals Lars Eller throwing punches at Derek Stepan. Both were sent off for roughing, but Eller received an extra 2 minutes that gave New York its first power play.NOTES: Price has allowed two goals or fewer in 14 of his past 15 appearances. ...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Lleyton Hewitt beat Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 1-6, 6-2, 6-0 to advance to the quarterfinals at the U.S. National Indoor Tennis Championships on Thursday. The No. 3 seed leads the career series with Baghdatis 3-2, winning their first match since 2010 when Baghdatis had to withdraw with an injured shoulder. Hewitt won his 29th career title in Brisbane this year. He needed 91 minutes to finally beat Baghdatis for the first time outside of Australia and continue his strong start this year. "Marcos, hes always a tough competitor, and this type of court suits his style as well," Hewitt said. "He hits the ball hard and flat out there, and if hes making a lot of first serves its not easy. I just sort of bided my time out there and took my chances. Had to fight hard early in the second set to hold serve and got a bit of momentum after that." Hewitt will play American Michael Russell on Friday. Ivo Karlovic of Croatia beat second-seeded Feliciano Lopez of Spain 7-6 (2), 6-4, serving up 19 aces and losing only six points off his serve. He will play American Jack Sock. Earlier, American qualifier Alex Kuznetsov upset eighth-seeded Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (1) to reach his first ATP quarterfinal. He will play fourth-seeded Lu Yen-Hsun of Taiwan, who beat American qualifier Denis Kudla 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Hewitt could join Roger Federer (932) and Rafael Nadal (669) as the third active player with 600 match victories if he wins the title in Memphis.dddddddddddd. Baghdatis had the benefit of an opening match here in Memphis, while Hewitt had a bye. Baghdatis also opened the match serving well with four aces, and he broke Hewitt in back-to-back games to go up 5-1 and serve out for the first set. Then Hewitt settled down and faced only one more break point in the final two sets. That came in the first game of the second set, and the former No. 1 took advantage of Baghdatis double-faulting four times and struggling with his serve. Baghdatis said he was very aggressive early. "After having a break point in the first game of the second set, I stopped playing, stopped playing aggressive and he started getting to points and rallies," Baghdatis said. "He was dictating the rallies and basically thats it. Thats all. Couldnt get back to where I started from." Hewitt said he needed a bit of time to adjust in his first match at The Racquet Club. He also started mixing up his serve as well. "He was taking a swipe at all of my serves early on so I just had to find a way to hang in there more than anything," Hewitt said. "Just the pace of the court, the ball, just try and find that rhythm out there." Kuznetsov, who turned pro in 2004 and just turned 27, finally won the seventh match of his career in his 38th match.
