MONTREAL -- After being bumped in his crease for a second time in one period, ever-steady Canadiens goaltender Carey Price lost it.Price, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, pummeled New Jersey forward Kyle Palmieri with his blocker in the first period of Montreals 5-2 victory over the Devils on Thursday night.Earlier in the period, Price was bumped by Adam Henrique as the Devils center scored a goal. After Palmieri slid into Prices knees, the goaltender jumped on him and pounded on his head and back.I got run over on the first goal and then I took another one and I got fired up, I guess, Price said.Palmieri got a minor for goalie interference, while Price got four minutes for roughing.It was nice to see the fire, Montreals Torrey Mitchell said. Everyone thinks hes just a calm, laid-back guy, but hes competitive.All of us in here know that, so it was nice to see him fight back a little bit there. Obviously we dont want him doing that. We want to step in for him. But hes a competitive guy, so it was nice to see.Palmieri, who was dragged away by Jeff Petry as Price kept swinging, called it just a hockey play.Ive done it probably 50 to 100 times in my career, Palmieri added. You go to the net and either its a trip or a push or you lose an edge. Its going to the net. Thats where you score goals. You go to the net, try to put a good shot on and you lose control.I dont know the rule, but any time youre on the ice defenseless and youre taking a blocker to the back of the head, its not a great situation to be in.Price settled down the rest of the way and made 19 saves while the Canadiens fired a season-high 49 shots at Cory Schneider.Mitchell scored twice, and Phillip Danault, Artturi Lehkonen and Max Pacioretty also had goals for the Canadiens in their return from a five-game trip.Henrique scored a goal and set up one by Taylor Hall for New Jersey, which ended a two-game winning streak.A wild first period included three goals, four goal reviews and Prices meltdown.Danault, who skipped the team skate Thursday morning due to an illness, opened the scoring at 12:49 on a disputed goal when he tipped Nathan Beaulieus shot past Schneider. The goal stood through an official review for a high stick and Devils coach John Hynes challenge that Danault interfered with Schneider just outside the crease.Henrique tied it at 16:19 after banking in?P.A. Parenteaus shot. ?Even though Henrique rammed into Price on the play, the goal was upheld after two reviews.At 17:15, Mitchell elected to shoot on a 2-on-1, and the rebound went in off New Jersey forward Nick Lappins skate. Andrew Shaw picked up his second assist of the game on the goal.Schneider withstood another small bump before Lehkonen scored into an open side at 9:59 of the second, but at that point, both coaches had used up their challenges.Pacioretty was alone in front to score on a backhand that trickled through Schneiders pads 45 seconds into the third after Alexander Radulov forced a turnover.Henrique made a clever backhand pass for Hall to score into an open side on a power play at 3:07. Hall has scored in three straight games.Mitchell reached in from behind the net to tuck in his second of the game at 15:49.Game notes: Montreal announced that D Greg Pateryn, who took a shot off his foot Tuesday in St. Louis, will be out about eight weeks with a fractured ankle. ....

SYDNEY -- Heavy rainfall in Sydney over 12 hours into early Thursday morning forced changes to the practice schedules for California and Hawaii just two days away from their college football season-opener at the Olympic stadium.Both teams were scheduled to hold open practice sessions at the stadium in western Sydney on Thursday, but falls of up 50 to 100 millimeters of rain (two to four inches) late Wednesday and overnight forced organizers to keep the players off the turf.Hawaii was given a chance to practice at the University of New South Wales but because it was about an hour away toward the city and into busy traffic, decided to cancel their practice session and did a walk-through later in the day in preparation for Saturdays game.We would have spent more time in traffic than at the practice, Hawaii team spokesman Derek Inouchi said.California held a light workout at the same ground Thursday ahead of Fridays final training session for the game which organizers say is expected to attract a crowd of about 65,000.We worked through it, Cal coach Sonny Dykes said after Wednesdays rainy training session on the synthetic turf at the University of New South Wales field.We had a bit of rain, and bit of cold, not the best weather conditions. Dykes added as the rain pelted down on a tin roof above him. Anytime you travel 24 hours there are going to be some obstacles, but overall weve done a good job of adjusting.The weather forecast for Saturday is for a 50 percent chance of some light rain and a high temperature of 19 degrees Celsius (66 Fahrenheit).The game is set to start at midday Saturday, which will be 10 p.m. Friday on the east coast of the U.S., 7 p.m. in California and 4 in the afternoon for the Hawaii home fans in the mid-Pacific. It was brought to Sydney in an attempt to increase support for so-called gridiron in Australia, a country which keenly follows the National Football League and has provided several players, mostly punters and kickers from Australian rules football, to NFL teams.Its only the third college game pplayed in Australia -- the previous two were in Melbourne in the 1980s.ddddddddddddThe last U.S. football match played in Sydney was in 1999 when the Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers 20-17 in a preseason game at the Olympic stadium which attracted more than 73,000 spectators.Saturdays crowd, which will feast on foot-long hot dogs and other menu favorites from the U.S., will see experienced quarterbacks start the game.Davis Webb, who Dykes has already named in the starting role, is one of the key Cal additions this year, replacing Jared Goff, the No. 1 overall NFL draft pick by the Los Angeles Rams.A graduate transfer from Texas Tech, Webb played in 23 games with 14 starts over three seasons and career totals of 5,557 yards and 46 touchdowns. Hes enrolled in Cals public health Masters program.Ikaika Woolsey beat out three other Hawaii quarterbacks to get the nod for the starting role in Sydney from new coach Nick Rolovich. In his senior year, he has had 19 starts for the Rainbow Warriors.The Rodeo, California-born Woolsey will lead Hawaiis contingent on Saturday in a familiar pre-game ritual that many Australian rugby fans will recognize.New Zealands famed All Blacks rugby team do a Maori-inspired haka, or war dance, on the same field whenever they play Australias Wallabies in rugby union matches. But that only usually involves the starting 15 players.On Saturday, the entire Hawaii squad numbering nearly 100 players will take to the field about 20 minutes before kickoff to do the haka that is compulsory for all team members to learn.Its the seventh consecutive year that Hawaii, a member of the Mountain West conference, will open against a Pac-12 opponent. They are 2-4 over that span.California has a better record, going 7-2 in season openers since 2007, including a 73-14 home win at Berkeley last year over Grambling State. Overall, the Golden Bears are 75-42-4 in all-time season openers. ' ' '
