Game one of a best of 7 series starts in Montreal with the Habs and the Devils. Montreal will have LW Eric Brenner move to the 1st line with C Dean Casey and RW Joey Mariani with the injury to LW Emile Boudreau. Those are big skates to fill. The goalies will be Bill Wolfenbarger for Montreal and surprisingly Bob Cash for the Devils. Cash was 20-11-4 with a 2.30 GAA and a .920 SV% in 39 games for the Devils.

Montreal did not take long to get their first ever playoff goal. C Dean Casey's shot got redirected by a Devil player and beats Cash at 2:34 for a 1-0 lead. That's is how the 1st period ends with the Habs leading 1-0 and leading in shots as well, 9-5.

The Devils tie the game up while Montreal C Patrick Atkins is in the sin bin, RW Magnus Sundstrom gets his 1st of the playoffs at 3:03 on the PP. Montreal grabs a 2-1 lead at 5:52 when C Patrick Atkins atones for his previous penalty with his 1st playoff goal on some good work by LW Randolph Lott. Montreal goes up 3-1 as RW Zach Broderick gets his 1st of the playoffs on a breakaway set up by C Patrick Atkins at 10:41. Veteran LW David Wass's snap shot beats Cash at 13:21 to make it 4-1 for the Canadiens. Montreal's 3rd line gets another goal shortly after to make it 5-1, RW Robert Cull tips LW David Wass's shot at 14:50 for his 1st of the playoffs. The period ends with Montreal up 5-1 and the shots are now 17-13 for Montreal.

Montreal puts it away with RW Joey Mariani's tip in goal for his 1st of the playoffs at 17:42. Montreal has held the Devils to just 2 shots in the 3rd period. Montreal gets game one out shooting New Jersey 27-15.
