There was one shift in the first period where the Canadiens looked like Columbus, and they were scored on as a result. Outside of that though, it seems to me that they outplayed the Hurricanes.
Andrei Markov continues to struggle on possession at even strength, going -9 on Corsi in the first period, but he’s Andrei Markov so he wired a slap shot through traffic on the powerplay and tied the game.
P.K. Subban’s assist on the play gives him 28 points in 29 games, tying him with Kris Letang for the most points among defensemen, although Subban has 7 more goals and doesn’t play with Crosby and Malkin on the powerplay. Norris.
