Younger Kostitsyn Shows How It’s Done
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 12th, 2010
Canadiens head coach Jacques Martin said there has never been any doubt about forward Sergei Kostitsyn’s skill level.
“In the beginning of the season, it was about fitness and his work ethic,” Martin said, revisiting the decision to send the younger Kostitsyn brother to the minors to start the season.
There was no question about his work ethic Wednesday night as he assisted on three goals, including the overtime winner in the Canadiens’ 6-5 win over the Washington Capitals.
Kostitsyn controlled the puck along the boards and then found Tomas Plekanec in front to set up the deciding goal with 7.5 seconds remaining in overtime.
“It wasn’t too hard to put it in,” Plekanec said.
“I think the other night against Vancouver he played a strong game. We all know he’s a great player and when his work ethic is there, we’re going to win a lot of games.”
The word character was tossed around a lot and Martin said he wasn’t going to dwell on the fact the Canadiens lost a 5-2 lead in the third period.
