It nearly degenerated into a full line brawl with the goalies participating in the final minute of the second period. Buffalo netminder Robin Lehner got a roughing penalty for a glove facewash of Habs winger Michael McCarron and Montreal goaltender Ben Scrivens advanced to his own blueline, thinking about joining the fray, before he was dissuaded by an official.’
