MONTREAL -- Shea Weber got the Bell Centre rocking with a blistering shot that gave the Habs a 1-0 lead, but the joy was shortlived.
Vegas came storming back to tie the game up just minutes later. Now, after the first period, the teams are locked into a 1-1 tie.
If the Habs lose, the series returns to Sin City for a decisive game seven on Saturday. If they win, they'll move onto the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1993.
