It was the slowest shot of the game that cracked Carey Price's impenetrable armor.

The broken stick of Aaron Ekblad's overtime slap shot sealed the deal for the Panthers on Tuesday, shattering Price's - and the Canadiens' - attempt to make history.

Price entered the contest with a 10-0-0 record, one win shy of matching a Habs' record for consecutive wins.

Meanwhile, Montreal fell one win shy of joining the 1963-64 Chicago Black Hawks as the only team to win its first 11 home games.
