'Early in the second Buffalo got on the board with a power play goal by Thomas Vanek on a rebound off the back glass. But the Canadiens got their two goal lead right back with Tomas Plekanec scoring another power play goal less than two minutes later. Later in the period Montreal continued their great play with the man advantage as Plekanec earned a hat trick with a deflection of a point shot by Streit for his third on the power play making it 4-1.'
