The last time Pittsburgh visited the Bell Centre, Montreal wasn’t nestled under a fresh blanket of snow.
The trees still bore leaves on Oct. 10, when Al Montoya made 36 saves and David Desharnais scored twice in a 4-0 Canadiens’ win.
Neither Carey Price nor Sidney Crosby was dressed for that game.
Both played New Year’s Eve in Pittsburgh, where the Canadiens took a Too Many Men penalty 1:10 into Overtime and Evgeni Malkin’s scored 44 seconds later to seal a 4-3 win for the Penguins.
The Canadiens led that game 3-2 until Conor Sheary beat Price with 55 seconds left to set up the OT.
