The second period was about as boring as the first, and apparently Brian Gionta still harbours some resentment for the Rangers from his NJ days, as he took another penalty in the second period, although this time a coincidental minor.
A brilliant five player effort, with the most impressive being that of Michael Bournival, set up Tomas Plekanec for a beautiful goal to break the tie and give the Habs a 1-0 lead.
