I had a fever. ... In Chicago, I felt it in the morning but it wasnt that bad. But it got worse overnight and I went to the hospital.

It was the diminutive wingers seventh goal of the season, only four shy of his career high.The Canadiens were 5 seconds into a power play when Galchenyuk also got his seventh of the season. He won a faceoff back to Weber, who slid the puck to Radulov on the right wing for a perfect feed in front. Galchenyuk put the puck into an open side 32 seconds into the second.Toronto struck back on the man advantage at 8:47 on an equally sweet three-way passing play, this time in tight traffic as the puck went from Auston Matthews to Leo Komarov to Nylander alone on the right side for his sixth of the season.Theyve got a skilled, young team, Weber said. Theyre good on the power play and theyve got speed.I thought we did a good job of staying behind them and taking away that speed a bit.It was the second meeting this season between the rivals. The Canadiens also won 2-1 at home on Oct. 29. Their next two matchups are in Toronto on Jan. 7 and Feb. 25.Game notes Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty played his 500th NHL game. ...
