Coach Maurice:  How would he describe the 2nd period? How did it get to that point when they are leading 15-6 in the 1st to that result in the 2nd?  How do they put that game behind them?  Feel like the break is coming at a good time for his team? Puck management.

Habs audio:

Tomas Tatar

Brendan Gallagher

Victor Mete

Coach Julien:  How did they turn this game around?  The offside call.  Max Domi playing more north/south.  Happy with the trip west?  Any news on Joel Armia?
