Just over a year ago www.officialsenators.com , Lauren Boyle was searching the internet for information on leukemia after husband Brian’s blood test showed serious irregularities.Now, she’s hoping to tell the hockey world her story.Lauren Boyle will be unveiled Thursday as the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer ambassador after her family’s turbulent 14-month ordeal. The New Jersey Devils forward who doubles as her husband and father of their two children recently announced his cancer is in remission, and she’s thankful for that and a “miracle” diagnosis that their now 3-year-old son is not after all battling the disease.“I just pray, that I can help anyone if they need it, whether it be advice or what got us through day to day from little things like how we changed Brian’s diet to praying or just how we spent our time,” Lauren Boyle said. “I would like to also raise money for research. It’s incredible what they can do with the right time and money.”Research helped develop a pill that Brian began taking twice daily the night in September 2017 he found out he had Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. And research not long after helped a doctor at Boston Children’s Hospital determine their son, Declan, had Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible rather than fatal carcinoma of the mandible — at odds of 1 percent.Lauren Boyle’s story should bring awareness to the NHL and NHL Players’ Association’s Hockey Fights Cancer initiative this month just as Nicholle Anderson’s did a year ago. The wife of Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson beat throat cancer and served in this ambassador role in 2017.Before the two women met at the NHL Awards in June when Brian received the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication, the Boyles went through a roller-coaster time that featured the birth of their second child, news of his cancer and Declan’s scare. In that time, they managed everything about Brian’s life and at times had to put hockey aside so he could accompany her to pick up their son from surgery because of concern he could bleed out while she was driving.“One time there was a snowstorm and we had to charter a plane Ottawa Senators T-Shirts Authentic , which we don’t really have business doing,” Lauren said. “But it is what it is and you’re going to just do whatever it takes to save your son.”Brian played in the All-Star Game, helped the Devils make the playoffs and now has four points in nine games. As Declan navigates a difficult but not impossible road through AVM that has so far included nine operations and the loss of some teeth, he was glad to see his father sometimes gets one or two knocked out.“We told him that the tooth fairy came early,” Lauren said. “Brian got a high stick a week or two ago and Declan was kind of happy to see that someone else gets boo-boos, too.” MONTREAL (AP) — The Montreal Canadiens needed a full-team effort to shut down the NHL’s best offensive line.Carey Price stopped 28 shots for his third shutout of the season as the Canadiens beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 on Saturday night.Brett Kulak, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jordie Benn all scored in the third period for the Canadiens, who had lost three of their last four games. Price got his 43rd career shutout.Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Mikko Rantanen — who have combined for 73 goals and 112 assists this season — hardly threatened Price, firing a total five shots on net.“We played them well,” Price said. “They’re a good line and we did an excellent job tonight.”The Avalanche’s top trio has scored nearly half of the team’s goals but it was harmless against the Canadiens, who clogged up the neutral zone and limited the visitors’ chances.“Obviously they’re one of the best lines in the league Ottawa Senators Hoodies Authentic ,” Montreal captain Shea Weber said. “Dangerous from one side to the other. We talked about not just the five guys that are out there, there are other guys that had to play against them and everybody did a good job tonight.”Semyon Varlamov gave up two goals on 30 shots for the slumping Avalanche, losers of nine of their last 10 (1-7-2).‘MacKinnon saw his eight-game point streak snapped while Landeskog’s three-game multi-point streak ended.“We didn’t give them much space,” Canadienns coach Claude Julien said of the MacKinnon line. “We kept trying to kill the play as quickly as possible. And we had more than one line playing against their top line so we were always fresh when they hit the ice.”After two scoreless periods, Kulak scored his second of the season to break the deadlock. With the Canadiens playing short-handed, Kulak scored right off a faceoff in Colorado’s zone at 8:21 of the third.The goal revitalized the home side and Kotkaniemi made it 2-0 at 10:39 on a one-timer after nifty stick work by Jonathan Drouin along the half-wall.“We got running around, an extended shift, Montreal kept it in our zone,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said of the reaction to Kulak’s goal. “Probably their best shift of the game, and not so much on our side. There was probably some disappointment from our guys, maybe hanging their heads for a couple of seconds. Next thing you know, Montreal turns it on and gets the second one.“That’s how our game’s been going right now.”Benn added an empty-netter with 1:16 left.Colorado has dropped the first three games on its current five-game Canadian road trip.“We have to stick together and find a way through this Ottawa Senators Hats Authentic ,” Landeskog said. “We can’t look at anybody else and hope that we’re going to get help. We have to come together and figure a way out of this. And I have no doubt we will, but nonetheless it’s frustrating.”Price was solid between the pipes, making key saves to keep the Canadiens in the game. In the first, Price made a hard glove save look easy when Tyson Jost walked in all alone. In the third, with the game still scoreless, the 31-year-old stopped Matt Calvert on the breakaway.With Montreal’s recent scoring woes — five goals in its previous four games — Julien shuffled his top three lines to provide a spark on offense. Brendan Gallagher and Phillip Danault were moved to the top line with Drouin, and Max Domi was dropped to center the second line. Tomas Tatar, who’s played the entire season with Gallagher and Danault, was demoted to the third line alongside rookie Kotkaniemi and Paul Byron.Julien also tweaked his two power-play units, to no avail. Montreal’s league-worst power play went 0 for 3. Montreal’s best chance with the man advantage came four minutes into the third period when captain Shea Weber’s one-timer hit the post.NOTES; The Canadiens are 1 for 20 on the power play in their last six games. They’re 0 for 27 on the power play at home dating back to Dec. 1. … Price is three shutouts away from tying Ken Dryden for third on the Canadiens all-time list. … Colorado F Nathan MacKinnon saw his eight-game point streak snapped. … The Avalanche have allowed 41 goals in their last nine road games.UP NEXTAvalanche: At Toronto on Monday night.Canadiens: At Boston on Monday night.
