Andrei Kostitsyn logged a season-low 4:20 of ice time on Monday night against Carolina. He played only one shift in the third period, while much-maligned forward Scott Gomez saw two shifts in the final stanza and was on the ice for a grand total of 7:48 in Montreal's 5-3 defeat. Kostitsyn has endured an inconsistent year, while generating 12 goals and 12 assists in 47 games.
