After a scoreless opening period that saw Sergei Bobrovsky leave with a lower-body injury 2:01 into the action, the Cats reeled off five goals in the middle frame to end former prospect Sam Montembeault’s night early.
Alex Lyon filled in admirably for Bobrovsky and came up big late in the first when Montreal made a strong push for the game-opening goal after getting out-played for most of the period.
