Canadiens vs. Devils third period thread

The Habs did not convert on the powerplay to open up the second period, creating only two shot attempts that were both not shots on net. The Canadiens continued to attack at a steady pace, leading 6-2 in shot attempts for the period by the time they earned their next powerplay, a tripping penalty on Tuomo Ruutu.

The powerplay was short-lived, as P.K. Subban was sent off for hooking Travis Zajac who had broken free behind the Canadiens defense and nearly scored on a breakaway. Mike Condon was tested for the first time in the period, and made a couple of good saves, and most importantly, was not giving up rebounds.
