Some lineup tweaks proved to be just what the Habs needed as the offence came back to life on Wednesday night in a 5-1 victory over Vancouver to pick up three of four points in the two-game set.

The Habs struck early but were unable to pick an elusive second goal against Thatcher Demko and the Canucks on Monday. Vancouver managed to tie it late and won in the shootout, kicking off Montreal’s road trip on a losing note.
