He helped preserve the win by sweeping the puck away from the goal line late in the third.“Probably his most dominant game as far as puck possession,” Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. “I don’t know what to say about him anymore. I’m just glad I get the opportunity to coach him.”Two players from each team were in the penalty box after an altercation at 2:05 of the second. New Jersey’s Miles Wood received a major penalty for interference that knocked Benn from the game.“It’s a blind-side hit,” Montgomery said. “It’s one of those hits that we’re trying to get out of the game. Looked like a shoulder hit him in the chest.”Wood was still in the box when Seguin scored a power-play goal from the left circle at 6:38.The Devils pulled within a goal during an eight-second flurry when Nico Hischier stole the puck for a breakaway, had two shots stopped by Bishop, retrieved both rebounds and passed to Bratt at the top of the slot at 11:08.After Seguin’s second goal, New Jersey rallied to tie with goals by Stafford at 17:21 and Boyle at 18:48 of the second.NOTES: Heiskanen was selected by Dallas with the No. 3 pick in the 2017 draft. “When I was younger, I looked at those All-Star Games,” he said. “Now that I can go there it feels great.” .

MONTREAL (AP) Things looked to be getting nasty between P.K.

Other than that, it was just a normal game, as usual. Just competing in the battles and that’s it.”Gallagher tied the game 1-1 in the second period, then skated to over to the Nashville bench and appeared to say something to Subban.”I don’t think he said anything to me,” Subban said. ”Some guys from the bench were saying stuff, but I couldn’t hear it. … It’s so loud in this building. But I’m sure it’s pretty quiet over there now with two points on our side.”Gallagher said he didn’t want to discuss Subban, but still launched some barbs his way.”I don’t know why we’re talking about him – that’s what he wants,” Gallagher said. ”He comes in here and tries to make it about himself.”It was Subban’s second visit since the trade.

Subban. Obviously the attention is on him because it always is, but it wasn’t about an individual.”Arturri Lehkonen stripped the puck from Filip Forsberg at the Nashville line. Gallagher grabbed it and saw his first shot blocked by Subban, but Gallagher picked up the rebound and beat Rinne from close range for his 20th goal of the season at 8:35 of the second.A bouncing puck in front of the Montreal net went to Nick Bonino, who slipped it to Hartnell for the tying score with 3:38 remaining in the middle period.After a sprawled Price made a glove save at the side of the net on Ryan Johansen, the Nashville center slipped the rebound back to uncovered Fiala for a backhander into an open side.NOTES: On Friday, Subban brought several Nashville teammates along as he visited the Montreal Children’s Hospital, to which he pledged to raise $10 million for when he played for the Canadiens and has stuck with even though he no longer lives in the city. … Forsberg returned after serving a three-game suspension for a high hit on Jimmy Vesey of the New York Rangers. … Half of the Predators’ defense are former Canadiens – Subban, Alexei Emelin and Yannick Weber. … Emelin took a penalty for an open-ice hit that was a knee-on-knee contact that left Nikita Scherbak limping in the first period.UP NEXTPredators: Host St. Louis on Tuesday night to start a four-game homestand.Canadiens: At Colorado on Wednesday night to open a four-game trip.
