The Canadiens will play on back to back nights facing the Red Wings back at the friendly confines of the Bell Center. The two teams have met twice and split the series with home wins. Montreal will have G Martin King in the nets tonight.


Montreal breaks the ice at 9:42 when LW Emile Boudreau picks up a loose puck in front and nets his 6th of the year. Montreal goes up 2-0 when C Dean Casey redirects RD Steven Thornton's shot at 12:04. Detroit makes it 2-1 when C Darren Tory grabs his own rebound and buries it from the high slot at 17:22. Montreal wastes no time getting it back, LD Rene Pichler jumps on a juicy rebound and gets his 1st goal in a Hab uniform at 17:48. Its now 3-1. The shots end up 12-9 for Montreal and 3-1 on the scoreboard.


Montreal capitalizes on another juicy rebound as LD Vincent Lavoie gets his 3rd at 13:52 of the 2nd period and the Habs lead is now 4-1. That's how the period ends with the Canadiens up 4-1.


The Canadiens pretty much dominate the first 10 minutes of the 3rd period limiting the Red Wing chances and went into full shut down mode allowing only 1 Red Wing shot in the final 10 minutes to hold down a 4-1 win. The final shots were 33-19 for Montreal with G Martin King making 18 stops for the win.
