The Canadiens were able to score just 1:14 into the game on a slow-rolling goal that David Desharnais slapped out of the air. From there, it was all Montreal. Their goalie and Boston-native Mike Condon put forth a sparkling effort, saving 27 of 28 shots and making a spectacular save on Ryan Spooner, as can be seen via the NHL's official YouTube channel.
“Risto’s probably the fittest guy on our team,” McCabe said of his teammate, who normally leads Buffalo in ice time. “For him to battle like this, it’s very tough and unfortunate. But knowing Risto, he’s going to be just fine, and he’ll be back here hopefully soon.”
That “somewhere else,” following the advice of Miller, led the league more than 1,000 miles south to Lake Tahoe.
Atkinson continued his ascension, scoring 41 goals with 28 assists two years ago. Limited to just 44 games last season due to a nagging ankle injury, Atkinson's production suffered, as he finished the campaign with just 12 goals, 14 assists, and eight power-play points. In many leagues, that decline resulted in Atkinson plummeting in drafts, a move that looks to be a huge mistake. While not scoring at the pace he did in his career-best season, Atkinson has six goals and seven assists through 17 games, aided by a goal and three assists Thursday, followed by a goal and assist Saturday and marker Monday.

Crosby was at his absolute best in the NHL for the three-year run between 2010-11 and 2012-13 when he was playing at a level that nobody — and I mean nobody — in the league was even close to matching at that time. It was like he was dropped into the mid 2000s from a different era.
With that outburst, Huberdeau now has 20 points in 14 games, giving him a chance to top his scorching pace from recent seasons (78 points in 69 games, and 92 in 82 GP).
