Two games, two wins.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price secured his second straight win in as many games Monday, as the Canadiens defeated the Blue Jackets by a 3-1 score. The victory snapped Columbus' six-game win streak and, in the process, gave Price his first consecutive wins on the season.

Price allowed one goal on 38 shots against the Blue Jackets, just two nights after recording his first shutout of the season against the Buffalo Sabres.

Since his 10-game absence, Price has turned aside 73 shots for a spectacular .986 save percentage. It's a stark contrast from his performance earlier this season, when he owned a .877 save rate through his first 11 appearances.

In 13 games, Price is 5-7-1 with a 3.24 GAA and .898 save percentage. But If his last two outings are any indication, the Canadiens' MVP appears to be back to his old self.
