Devils fall flat at home after return from impressive road trip

Shea Weber and Max Pacioretty each scored a power-play goal during a major penalty early in the third period, and the Canadiens snapped a two-game skid Friday night with a 3-1 victory over the Devils in Newark.

Alex Galchenyuk added a goal and two assists, and Alexander Radulov had three assists as Montreal ended the Devils’ three-game winning streak. Canadiens goalie Al Montoya made 15 saves as New Jersey was limited to a season-low 17 shots in its return home from a four-game road trip.

Rookie defenseman Steven Santini gave the Devils an early 1-0 lead, but the Canadiens dominated after that, scoring all their goals on the power play (3 of 7) against Keith Kinkaid, who faced 26 shots.
