‘After two scoreless periods, Montreal finally broke the goose eggs at 10:53 of the final period on Max Pacioretty’s 32nd goal of the season. Driving to the net, Pacioretty got his stick on a Thomas Vanek pass and the puck trickled over the goalline to put the Canadiens ahead 1-0. Briere made it 2-0 later in the third, roofing a shot past Matt Hackett and under the crossbar for his 13th.’
