The Canadiens and Oilers will meet in game one of the best of 7 Semi-Finals at the Bell Center in Montreal. The Canadiens are excited to see LW Emile Boudreau back in the line-up tonight. Boudreau will be re-united on the 1st line with C Dean Casey and RW Joey Mariani. G Bill Wolfenbarger will start in goal.


The first period was all Montreal but they could not solve G Jeremy Belanger. Montreal out shot the Oilers 15-2 in the period but the score is 0-0.


Montreal finally does get the 1st goal of the series, RD Steven Thornton gets his 2nd of the playoffs at 17:07 on assists from RW Zach Broderick and LD Dominick Heatherington. The second period ends with Montreal up 1-0 and out shooting the Oilers 22-10.


The Oilers tie it up at 1-1 when LW Andre-Philippe Lefrancois tips in his 1st past Wolfenbarger at 1:59 of the third period. That's all the scoring in the third in a period dominated by the Oilers. We are heading off to overtime with the Habs outshooting the Oilers 26-21.


Montreal get a very early PP in overtime and put this one away. C Jeff Pilbeam gets an assist for winning the draw and LW Emile Boudreau snaps home the winner at 1:26 of overtime with his 1st of the playoffs. LD Vincent Lavoie is also awarded an assist. The shots in overtime were 2-0 for Montreal.
