The last 30 minutes of this game certainly made up for the last 30 minutes of game one. After a decent but wholeheartedly uninspiring effort in Game 1, and staring a 2-0 deficit going to Broadway in the face, the Montreal Canadiens finally found a second gear to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and take the series back to New York tied at one.
Early struggles
Montreal jumped out with high energy levels in the first period, throwing 25 shots at Henrik Lundqvist (only 9 got through). The Rangers fought back in the second and ended the period with a one goal lead.
