NSH@MTL: Game recap

MONTREAL -- The Canadiens posted a 4-3 victory over the Predators on Thursday night at the Bell Centre.

Before the game, P.K. Subban was honored with a homecoming celebration.
After addressing the crowd, former teammate Carey Price even joined him on the ice for a triple low five that sent the fans in the building and social media platforms everywhere into a frenzy.

It was a picture-perfect moment for Subban and Price, who relived a famous tradition from their playing days together.
"Iconic" is most definitely the best way to describe the memorable moment.

Nino Niederreiter opened the scoring for the Predators at the 10:35 mark of the first period, but that advantage didn't last long.
Jake Evans scored his second goal of the season at 13:30, sneaking a shot past goaltender Yaroslav Askarov.
Evans' tally was assisted by David Savard and Joel Edmundson.

Just over 90 seconds later, Kirby Dach put Montreal up 2-1 when he buried a perfect feed from Jesse Ylonen, who was playing his first game of the year with the big club.
Jonathan Drouin also assisted on Dach's seventh goal of the season.

The Canadiens led 2-1 after 20 minutes.
Nashville needed only 12 seconds to score the equalizer in the middle frame.
Filip Forsberg lit the lamp to level the scoreline.
The Canadiens answered with a power-play goal by Cole Caufield at 10:03 to pull ahead 3-2.
Caufield buried a perfect feed from Nick Suzuki for his 24th goal of the season, which also represented a new single-season high for the young sniper.
Drouin picked up his second helper of the night on the play.

Montreal took a one-goal lead into the final stanza.
Caufield scored another power-play goal at the 6:15 mark of the third period.
His 25th tally of the season was assisted by Dach and Drouin.

Juuso Parssinen scored for Nashville with 1:29 remaining in regulation to cut the Habs' lead to 4-3.
That's the way this one finished.
Goaltender Sam Montembeault made 39 saves to earn the win.
The Canadiens will fly to New York on Friday for a two-game road trip that includes matchups against the Islanders on Saturday and the Rangers on Sunday.
