In the second period, the Canadiens got the goal back and leveled things with Torrey Mitchell's backhanded shot after going around the back of Andrew Hammond's goal and tapping the puck into an open area in the eighth minute of the game.
Less than 15 seconds later, Montreal got the lead with Tomas Plekanec's goal. Ottawa defenseman Erik Karlsson committed the mistake of trying to keep the puck within the blue line but Plekanec beat him to the puck and fired straight at Hammond for the goal. Assists were credited to Alex Galchenyuk and P.K. Subban.
Things were level again in the 11th minute after Kyle Turris powered a goal past Price after Turris was fresh from serving his minor penalty. It was a broken play and the Senators were trying to find a way past the defense of the Canadiens but Turris' wrister had so much power that the puck went in and immediately bounced out of the net to level things 2-2.
In the 12th, Lars Eller restored Montreal's lead after taking advantage of an error from Cody Ceci. The puck bounced off Ceci's skates as it was passed on to him, prompting Bryan Flynn to pick up the puck and forward it to a streaking Eller who beat the goalie to get the lead.
Once again, things were leveled at 3-3 when Mika Zibanejad found the puck on the rebound to smash it into the net. In the power play goal, Ottawa had a shot attempt but bounced off Bobby Ryan's number but Zibanejad was around to clean up the mess and score the tying goal.
However, in the 18th minute, Flynn scored what proved to be the game-winning goal as he rounded up the Senators defenses from the side to skate in front of Hammond and beat him on the glove side to get the 4-3 win and eventually, the win.
If the first game is any indication, it will be a long and interesting series. For live scores and updates, go to NHL.com. For live streaming, click here.
