Max Pacioretty reached a milestone less than a minute into the game.
Some good work at the blue line by Phillip Danault helped the Habs gain the zone and allow Radulov to get a slot from the slot.
Gudas thought he had Radulov lined up for a big hit, and quickly learned otherwise.
Nesterov connects on a one-timer to open the scoring in his second game with the Hab.

Radulov dishes a perfect backhand pass to Pacioretty to open the scoring.
The AHL added some last minute additions to the All-Star Classic, including St. John's IceCaps forward Chris Terry. Terry leads the team in points with 12 goals and 20 assists in 26 games. He will join IceCaps goaltender Charlie Lindgren at the event. Sunday will be the skills competition, and Monday they will present the game itself. Marc Barberio was selected to play in the game, but is currently on recall with the Montreal Canadiens.
