SECOND PERIOD SYNOPSIS <\/p>\n
Montreal controlled possession for much of the middle stanza. <\/p>\n
Ersson came up with a dandy save for his 13th of the game. At the other end, Martone ripped a one-timer on net from the dot to Dobes’ right.<\/p>\n
Montreal cut the gap to 2-1 at 6:50, went through the slot and directed Guhle’s pass home. Alexander Texier drew the secondary helper. The sequence started with a turnover at the offensive blueline.<\/p>\n
Barkey had a golden scoring chance. He missed over the net. Later, Jiricek created an opportunity for Gaucher. The puck squibbed past Dobes, who found it in time to cover for a stoppage.<\/p>\n
Philly grabbed a 3-1 edge at 13:52. Michkov was Johnny-on-the-spot near the post to Dobes’ left. The play beforehand was created by McDonald and Cates. The goal was officially unassisted.<\/p>\n
Seeler blocked a shot to spoil a 2-on-1 for Montreal. One shift later, Ersson made a save on Cole Caufield from the low slot.<\/p>\n
Montreal went to its second power play at 16:43. Foerster went off for holding on a sequence that also could have been called interference. Seeler sacrificed his body to block a shot. At the end, Martone had a strong shift, protecting the puck and using his strength to bull forward through sheer will.<\/p>\n
With 10.8 seconds, Ersson was unable to cover a loose puck near the net. A diving Evans beat Seeler to it and put it in the night. Arber Xhekaj got the primary assist for the initial shot. Joe Veleno had the secondary assist.<\/p>\n
