First timers

MONTREAL – On a night when the Ducks could have punched their ticket to the postseason, the Habs were the ones who came out flying.

It was a night of firsts for a handful of players in the Canadiens’ lineup on Tuesday night, as three different players registered their first points and two potted their first goals since arriving in Montreal. Darren Dietz chipped in with his first NHL helper in his fifth career NHL game, Lucas Lessio picked up his first goal as a Hab, Joel Hanley notched the first two points of his NHL career with a pair of assists, and Mike Brown scored a goal and added an assist to lift the home team to a 4-3 over Anaheim at the Bell Centre.
