A dominant period by Montreal by every aspect of the game. Toronto's first shot of the period came in the final minutes, and goals by Pacioretty & Galchenyuk gave stupid sexy Budaj a 2-0 lead.
Unfortunately for the Montreal the eternal Habs-killer JvR cut the score to 2-1, with a nice tip in front of Budaj.
