Numbers Game - Devils @ Canadiens

MONTREAL -- Here's a numerical look at the best facts, figures, and rough stuff from Thursday's game between the Devils and Habs at the Bell Centre.

14 -- Number of days since the Canadiens' last home game. On Thursday, the Habs were finally back in town for the first time since November 24, following a 12-day road trip over which the team picked up five of a possible 10 points.
28 -- Number of different players who have suited up for the Habs so far this season. Zach Redmond became the latest on Thursday, playing his first game of the year -- and of his career -- with Montreal. The 28-year-old also picked up his first point as a Hab with an assist on Torrey Mitchell's go-ahead goal.
12:49 -- Number of minutes it took Nathan Beaulieu to make his presence felt in his return to action after missing the previous six games to injury. The 24-year-old set up the game's opening goal with a slapper that was redirected past Cory Schneider by Phillip Danault.

56 -- Number of seconds it took Mitchell to regain the first period lead, after Adam Henrique tied things up for the Devils at 16:19.

8:35 p.m. -- Time at which Thursday's "eventful" first period ended. With a 7:30 p.m. start time, the opening frame lasted just under 60 minutes, thanks to a pair of goals, a pair of reviews, a pair of coaches challenges, and a number of penalties to sort out.
4:00 -- Number of penalty minutes Carey Price received for roughing Kyle Palmieri. After getting crashed in his crease during the first, the Canadiens netminder took matters into his own… fists.
11 -- Number of consecutive games which had been decided by a single goal prior to Thursday -- a streak which began with the Canadiens' 3-2 loss in Chicago on November 13 and ended in overtime on Tuesday in St. Louis.
2,000 -- Number of wins the Canadiens have now racked up at home in franchise history, hitting the milestone with a 5-2 decision against the Devils.
