Henrik Lundqvist #30 of the New York Rangers gloves the puck against the Montreal Canadiens in Game One of the Eastern Conference First Round during the 2017 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Bell Centre on April 12, 2017 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
OTTAWA, Ontario - Brad Marchand broke a tie with 2:33 left and Boston held on to beat Ottawain Game 1 of their first-round series.
"We don't pay attention to that stuff", said Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty, who had five shots. "We worked on getting guys in front, getting bodies there, so that when there are rebounds, we have guys there to bury them". They will also need to score on the power play as they had chances including a 5-on-3 that did not register a shot.
Julien tweaked the club's system en route to a 16-7-1 record under his watch, a run that included allowing half-a-goal fewer per game and fewer penalties taken after being one of the most penalized teams under Michel Therrien. "They have a lot of speed, good structure, a great goaltender, so it's a going to be a good test and a great challenge for us". It's simple as that. Phil the Thrill now has 11 goals and 24 points in 25 playoff games in a Penguins jersey. The Canadiens scratched C Torrey Mitchell, C/W Brian Flynn, RW Michael McCarron and D Brandon Davidson, while D Alexei Emelin remained sidelined with an undisclosed injury. Julien noted that everything tightens up in the playoffs. "I think in playoffs, depth at all positions is real important, and we are fortunate that we have some depth there". "Tonight, we played a lot of the game in their zone, and that's what we're trying to do". Keeping speed and production high will give NY the best edge over Montreal.
Glass now has played 61 playoff games, and said his only other goal was the final tally in a 5-0 victory while with the Penguins. His first-period tally stood until a late empty-net goal sealed the win.

Kohli hit two more boundaries off Thakur looking in ominous touch before a delivery from Ben Stokes climbed big on the skipper. Rising Pune Supergiant are yet to win a match when they have batted first in the IPL; they have batted first in nine matches.
A champion will be crowned in mid June after one team navigates four gruelling best-of-seven rounds. And I didn't know how good Hank was. If he strolls down memory lane and makes a couple of "how'd he do that" stops, the Rangers will have a better shot than most people think. "Obviously you need your goalie to basically be your best player, but other than that you have to be sound defensively and need secondary scoring, and we got that".
Through the first two nights of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, no team has won by more than two goals and we've seen six one-goal games, three of which needed overtime. Forty of those were delivered in the first period alone.
Going into the matchup, I highlighted Shea Weber vs. That's what happens in the playoffs. "If he can see it, he's going to save it, and sometimes when he can't see it he's going to save it, so we're going to have to be real sharp with the puck when we get our scoring chances and find ways to maybe get some bounces by him". "We expected him to work hard, and that's what he did".
This lack of consistency is problematic for a line that's really caught in no man's land: you can't use them as a shutdown unit because of Galchenyuk, and you can't use them for offensive exploitation because of Ott and Martinsen. What's more, though, is they know they're in the head of one of the best clutch goaltenders of his generation.
