Montreal 5 New York 1

From The Montreal Gazette:

Montreal goes 2-for-7 on the power play.

It took the Habs six minutes to muster the first shot on goal, but Scott Gomez gave Montreal a 1-0 lead when he beat Martin Biron at 7:55 of the first period. Jaroslav Spacek’s shot from the blue line was blocked before it reached Biron and Gomez picked up the loose puck and scored his second goal of the season.
