Canadiens Triumph The Montreal Canadiens came out winners in a back-and-forth battle between the Panthers to win the closely fought series and advance to the Eastern Conference final. The teams traded goals in the first two periods. Mark Parrish's goal in the first period was answered by Montreal's Richard Zednik. In the second it was Magnus Arvedsson scoring for the Canadiens but lat in the period Steve Sullivan scored on the power play to tie the game up at 2. In the third period Marian Gaborik scored to give the Canadiens the lead again, but Martin St. Louis answered to retie the game.
