The Habs jumped to a 5-0 lead in shots on net within the first five minutes of the game. They were coming on strong, amassing ten shot attempts in the process.
The Habs broke through on their seventh shot on net and twelfth shot attempt in just under eight minutes. Tomas Plekanec carried the puck up the ice on his line's second odd-man rush of the period, and dropped it back to Andrei Markov who fired home a one-timer for his fourth goal of the season.
Plekanec finds Markov, who scores his 4th goal of the year.
