25 - Spot head coach Claude Julien now occupies on the NHL's all-time games coached list alongside former Habs bench boss Jacques Demers, after coaching his 1,007th game on Thursday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. Julien's head coaching career at hockey's highest level began in 2002-03 with his first stint with the Canadiens, before moving on to New Jersey and Boston, and ultimately returning to Montreal last month.
150 - Number of consecutive games captain Max Pacioretty has suited up for, including Thursday night's tilt against the Flames. Pacioretty is the Canadiens' current iron man after veteran centerman Tomas Plekanec's streak of 236 straight starts was snapped when he had to miss Tuesday night's contest in Vancouver with an upper-body injury. Plekanec was also forced to sit out the game in Calgary as he continues his recovery.
9 - Number of days that elapsed between starts for Al Montoya, who was forced into action on Thursday night when a flu virus prevented Carey Price from starting between the pipes. Montoya's previous start came back on February 27 when he helped the Canadiens best the Devils in New Jersey.
15 - Number of saves Montoya made during the first period alone on Thursday night. Only Flames captain Mark Giordano managed to put one past the 32-year-old netminder as Glen Gulutzan's club took a 1-0 lead to the locker room through 20 minutes of play.
