Canadiens set franchise record with 30-shot period

Fire away, fellas.

The Montreal Canadiens set a new franchise record for shots in a single period with 30 during the second stanza Friday in Anaheim, eclipsing their previous mark of 27.

Conversely, Ducks goaltender John Gibson set a new franchise record with 28 saves in the middle frame.

The Canadiens were outshot 21-7 and outscored 3-0 in the first period - clearly a message was sent at intermission.

The Canadiens are the NHL's lowest-scoring team, and there's no better way to open the floodgates than to get the puck on net.

It was all for naught, however, as the Canadiens failed to tie the game and gave up three goals in less than two minutes early in the third period.
