MONTREAL -- Rene Bourque scored in the second period to give the Montreal Canadiens a 2-0 victory over the Flames on Tuesday, ending Calgarys five-game
win streak in the process.
Justin Houston Chiefs Jersey . Carey Price made 27 saves for Montreal (30-21-6) for his fourth shutout of the year and
second in four games. David Desharnais added an empty netter for the Canadiens.
Reto Berra stopped 25 shots for Calgary (21-28-7). Bourque, in only his second
game against his old team, scored the winner for the Canadiens at 16:15 of the
second period. Bourque was rather fortuitous on the play, notching his eighth
goal of the year when a Brandon Prust pass banked off his left leg and beat
Berra. The Flames have now lost four straight on the road. The Canadiens,
meanwhile, have yet to lose in regulation this year when leading after two
periods (25-0-3). After a scoreless first period, the Flames gave Montreal a
scare with a full two-minute, two-man advantage early in the second. With
Tomas Plekanec in the box for roughing, as well as Lars Eller for handling the
puck on the ensuing faceoff, Calgarys struggling power play took three shots on
Price -- none too threatening. The Habs have now killed off 27 straight
penalties. They last allowed a goal while playing shorthanded on Jan. 24 against
Detroit. NOTES: Mike Cammalleri made his return to Montreal, playing against his
old club for the first time since being traded to the Flames in 2012. ... Berra
got the nod in nets in place of Flames starting goaltender Karri Ramo (lower
body). Ramo was injured in the first period of Calgarys 4-3 overtime win over
Minnesota on Saturday. ... Dale Weise, 25, made his Canadiens debut playing on
the fourth line with Ryan White and Michael Bournival. Weise was traded to
Montreal from Vancouver for defenceman Raphael Diaz. ... The Habs cap their
four-game homestand against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, while the Flames
play the New York Islanders.

Martin Kaymer won Sunday was all he needed to prove he was anything but a
one-hit wonder in the majors, and that the two years he spent trying to build a
complete game were worth all the doubt that followed him. As he set it down on
the table, Kaymer rubbed off a tiny smudge on the gleaming silver, which was
only fitting. Over four days at Pinehurst No. 2, he dusted the field in a
performance that ranks among the best. Kaymer set the 36-hole scoring record by
opening with a pair of 65s. He never let anyone closer than four shots over the
final 48 holes. Equipped with a five-shot lead, he was the only player from the
last eight groups to break par. Welcome back, Martin. "You want to win majors in
your career, but if you can win one more, it means so much more," Kaymer said
after closing with a 1-under 69 for an eight-shot victory over Rickie Fowler and
two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton. "Some people, especially when
I went through that low, called me a one-hit wonder and those things. So its
quite nice proof, even though I dont feel like I need to prove a lot to people.
But somehow, its quite satisfying to have two under your belt." The 29-year-old
German is a forgotten star no more. Kaymer returned to the elite in golf by
turning the toughest test in golf into a runaway at Pinehurst No. 2, becoming
only the seventh player to go wire-to-wire in the 114 years of the U.S. Open.
Only three players finished the championship under par. One guy appeared to be
playing a different tournament. "No one was catching Kaymer this week," Compton
said. "I was playing for second. I think we all were playing for second." Only a
late bogey kept Kaymer from joining Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the only
players to finish a U.S. Open in double digits under par. He let his putter fall
to the ground when his 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole dropped into the centre
of the cup, like so many others had this week. Kaymer finished at 9-under 271.
His last two wins are the U.S. Open and The Players Championship, with the
strongest and deepest field in golf. He never trailed after any round in both of
them. "Martin was playing his own tournament," Fowler said after recovering from
a double bogey on the fourth hole to close with a 72. This U.S. Open really
ended Friday. No one had ever opened 65-65 in the U.S. Open, which broke the
36-hole record that McIlroy set three years ago rain-softened Congressional.
When it could have gotten away from Kaymer in the third round, he stayed strong
for a stabilizing 72. "He kind of killed the event in the first two days,"
Henrik Stenson said. "He went out and shot two 65s and left everyone in the
dust." He did it again in thee final round.
Tony Gonzalez Chiefs Jersey. Knowing the gallery was against him -- the loud cheers for Fowler, clapping when Kaymers
ball bounded over the back of the second green -- he holed a 10-foot par putt,
and then drilled a driver on the 313-yard third hole onto the green to set up a
two-putt birdie. Fowler, in the final group of a major for the first time, fell
back quickly on the fourth hole. He sent his third shot from a sandy path over
the green and into some pine trees and had to make a 25-foot putt just to escape
with double bogey. "It was probably the toughest day that I played golf today,
especially the first nine," Kaymer said. "Because if you have two or three
Americans chasing you, playing in America, its never easy being a foreigner. But
I said at the ceremony as well that the fans were very fair. But it was a tough
one. If you lead by five shots, its not easy. "A lot of people think, Well, you
have a little bit of a cushion. But if you approach that day in that way, with
that attitude, it can be gone so quickly." No chance on this day. Compton was
the only player who really put up a fight. His birdie on No. 8 got him within
four shots. Three bogeys in a five-hole stretch on the back nine did him in.
Even so, Compton received a standing ovation walking the 18th green. He somehow
scratched out a par from 50 yards away against the lip of a bunker. It wasnt the
Hollywood script he wanted, but it wasnt a bad consolation -- his first trip to
the Masters next April. "Ive never gotten this far along in my story," Compton
said. "Im thrilled." Kaymer joined Seve Ballesteros, Ernie Els, Woods and
McIlroy as the only players to win two majors and be No. 1 in the world before
turning 30 since the world ranking began in 1986. He is the fourth European in
the last five years to win the U.S. Open, after Europeans had gone 40 years
without this title. Its a rebirth for Kaymer, who reached No. 1 in the world in
February 2011, only to believe that he needed a more rounded game. His preferred
shot was a fade. Kaymer spent two hard years and a lot of lonely hours on the
range in Germany and his American home in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was as low as
No. 63 in the world six weeks ago. Now he goes to No. 11. Woods still holds the
most dominant U.S. Open win -- 15 shots at Pebble Beach in 2000. McIlroy holds
the scoring record at 16-under 268. "Im wondering how he did it," McIlroy said.
"Obviously, if you limit the mistakes, you might end up a couple under for the
week. But to do what hes doing ... I think its nearly more impressive than what
I did at Congressional." Among those who congratulated Kaymer on the 18th green
was Sandra Gal, a German player on the LPGA Tour. The U.S. Womens Open takes
over Pinehurst No. 2 on Monday.
