MONTREAL -- Identical scorelines, opposite results. That was the story behind the Habs’ first home-and-home series of the season.
Less than 24 hours ago in New Jersey, the Canadiens battled back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 3-2 comeback win in a shootout at the Prudential Center. On Saturday it was the Devils’ turn to climb out of a 2-0 hole and complete the comeback in extra time.
“A 2-0 lead with about 10 minutes left… you never want to lose a game like that. They’re a skilled and talented team and they worked really hard to even things up.
