MONTREAL – The Rangers came to the Bell Centre expecting a coronation. They got something else entirely. After scoring eight goals in the first four games of the series, the Canadiens went on a rampage in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers. With their backs to the wall, the Habs came out shooting, scoring early and often to send the series back to Manhattan with a...
BROSSARD – In Game 5, Galchenyuk, Eller and Desharnais’ contributions added up to a strong offensive showing. Assigning kudos to scoring plays in a hockey game can be a pretty straightforward affair: you count goals and assists and credit them to individual players.

NEW YORK – The Canadiens have rallied back from 3-1 series deficits twice in the last 10 years. They’ll be looking to add a third to that list in 2014.

In his first career game at Madison Square Garden, the 24-year-old netminder stole the show with a 35-save performance in a 3-2 overtime win. That was the second-most rubber Tokarski has seen in game action as a member of the Canadiens, having...
