The Montreal Canadiens improved their record to 5-0-0 with Thursday's 3-0 win over the New York Rangers, marking the first time they've won all five games to start a season in the long and storied history of the franchise.

Forwards Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise provided the offense, while Carey Price stopped all 25 shots against - including this ridiculous save off the stick of Rick Nash - to earn his first shutout of the season.

Montreal will look to extend its winning streak to six games Saturday in Detroit.
