SERIES RECAP
Game 1: New York 2 (Empty Net Goal) – 0 Montreal
Unlikely hero Tanner Glass scores the game winner with a backhand top corner
Grabner seals the deal late with an empty net goal
Game 2: Montreal 4 – 3 New York (Overtime)
Habs go up 2-1 in the first period only to lose the lead later in the game
Plekanec ties the game up with less than 25 seconds in regulation and Radulov seals the deal late in the first overtime
The Habs’ 58 shots were the most the New York Rangers have ever allowed in a playoff game. Thank you Bell Center shot counter bias
