PENALTY SUMMARY
1ST PERIOD
04:17 FLA Jonathan Huberdeau Too many men/ice – bench – 2 min
04:39 MTL Rene Bourque Interference – 2 min against Brian Campbell
A couple of breakdowns and a brutal phantom high stick sees the Canadiens down 1-0 after 20 minutes. The Panthers held a slight edge in play, but didn’t really seem to earn it with great play, there were just a lot of lucky bounces in their own zone that ended up on their own sticks, allowing them to clear the zone with ease.
Rene Bourque’s called off goal may end up being extremely crucial for the low scoring Habs.
