MONTREAL (AP) -The Montreal Canadiens got a winning result by putting Alex Tanguay on a line with Robert Lang and Alex Kovalev to face his former team. Lang had two goals and an assist, and Tanguay and Kovalev each had two assists to lead Montreal to a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames on December 9th.
Reunited with Kovalev - his linemate with Pittsburgh earlier in the decade - for the last four games, Lang was asked if the pair had recovered their old magic. "I don't know, but the result was there," said Lang, who had an assist on Andrei Markov's goal in the third.
The Canadiens improved to 1-1 in the Championships, while the Flames fell to 3-1. Next up, a home-and-home series between the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers. The Ottawa Senators begin their Championship schedule in Calgary on December 27th, and continue with their western swing before the New Year.

Each team plays 10 games. One home and one away against each of the other Canadian teams.
Teams in the same conference play each other more than twice during the regular season, however only two of the meetings were selected (home and away). The games selected were Nationally Televised on TSN, CBC-Hockey Night in Canada (particularly on Hockey Day in Canada), or Holidays where possible.
The Canadian Championship will use same point structure as the NHL Regular Season (W - 2 pts, OTL - 1 pt, SOL - 1 pt)
The Champion will be the team with the most points.
