With Carey Price back in the net, and Karl Alzner back on the blue line, the Montreal Canadiens faced the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night. The team honoured Tomas Plekanec in a touching tribute, complete with turtlenecks, and then the game began.
And it certainly began with a bang. The Blues had the first pressure in the offensive zone, but then their struggling defense had no answer for Max Domi on the counter-attack, as he scored his first Canadiens goal on the backhand only 39 seconds in.
