PITTSBURGH — Carey Price's first shootout wasn't that bad even if it was long.

The Montreal Canadiens rookie goaltender faced eight Pittsburgh Penguins in the shootout Saturday night and had to only make three saves. He got the win because teammate Andrei Markov finally scored in the lengthy shootout and the Canadiens prevailed 4-3.

"It didn't feel like I had to touch the puck that much," Price said. "That's part of being a goalie, trying to make yourself look big and try to make them hit a small target. Hopefully they either miss the net or hit me."

Markov scored in regulation as the Canadiens won their fourth straight blowing an early 3-0 lead.

Mathieu Dandenault and Michael Ryder scored for Montreal, which has 20 goals during its winning streak and was coming off a 7-4 win in Carolina on Friday night.

"To play two days in a row and win two games, it's a great win for us," Markov said. "All that's important is we got the two points."

Evgeni Malkin had three assists for the Penguins, who tied the game on Ryan Whitney's power-play goal with 1:52 to play in regulation.
