First-period goals by Joel Armia and Tyler Toffoli sparked the Montreal Canadiens to a three-goal lead, and they held on for a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday in Game 2 of their Stanley Cup playoff semifinal series at Las Vegas.
Paul Byron netted the eventual game-winning goal while Carey Price made 29 saves — 16 in the third period — as the Canadiens evened the series 1-1.
Alex Pietrangelo scored both goals for Vegas, and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 20 shots.
The best-of-seven series moves to Montreal for the next two games, starting Friday.
