SUBBAN LIFTS CANADIENS IN DOUBLE-OVERTIME
P.K. Subban (2-0—2) scored the game-winning goal at 4:17 of double-overtime to lift the Canadiens to a Game 1 victory over the Bruins.
* According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Subban became the second defenseman in Canadiens history to post the winning goal in a multi-overtime game. The first was Patrice Brisebois, who did so on April 24, 1997, in Montreal’s 4-3 triple-overtime victory against New Jersey in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Before Subban, the last defenseman on any NHL team to register the winning goal in a multi-overtime game was Kevin Bieksa, who led the Canucks to a 3-2 win over the Sharks in the fifth and deciding game of the 2011 Western Conference Final.
* Subban recorded his first career multi-goal game in the playoffs and his first such game overall since March 21, 2013 (2-0—2 at NYI). He now has 2-5—7 during a four-game point streak.
