OTTAWA -- Ray Emery was unaware he had a shot at NHL history until just a few moments before he achieved it.

Emery won his record ninth straight game to start his career, stopping 27 shots to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 4-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

"Starting out, you just want to make a good impression and play your best," said Emery, who made 27 saves for his first career shutout.

He improved to 9-0 in 12 career games and moved ahead of Bob Froese, who went 8-0 to begin his career with Philadelphia in 1982-83. Emery beat Montreal for the third time this season to improve to 6-0 in six starts -- three of his wins came during the previous two seasons.

"It just kind of worked out that over the course of the past three years, I played a couple of games here and there and I had a great team in front of me all the time so I reeled off nine kind of without recognizing it until the end of it," Emery said.

He got great support on offense again Tuesday night.

Dany Heatley extended his point streak to 22 games, and Jason Spezza, the NHL's offensive player of the week, scored for the fifth consecutive game and picked up his 30th assist of the season on Daniel Alfredsson's team-leading 20th goal.
