In a rematch from last night, the New Jersey Devils set out north of the border to visit the Montreal Canadiens.
In a fun-filled game last night that required both overtime and a shootout to settle the score, the Devils came up a point short thanks to the substitution goaltending of rookie Mike Condon.
He is now 6-2-2 with starting goaltender Carey Price out with a lower body injury.
New Jersey had the 2-0 lead past the half-way point of the second period, when the Canadiens scored two goals to tie the game forcing overtime.
Adam Henrique continued his three-game goal streak, by scoring his 11th of the season to open the scoring.

Look for Rico and his ‘stache to continue their scoring ways in Montreal.
His linemate, Lee Stempniak, is questionable for tonight’s game after it was revealed he injured his right foot.
He was one of the Devils top offensive weapons last night, as he recorded two points including the second goal for New Jersey and nearly the game-winning goal in the second-round of the shootout.
No lineup changes for tonight's game in Montreal. Cory Schneider will start.
