EDMONTON -- Much has been made of the Edmonton Oilers youthful crop of potential stars, but it was the young guns on the Montreal Canadiens that made noise on Thursday night. Second-year forwards Brendan Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk each had a goal and an assist as the Canadiens won for the second time in their last three outings, defeating the Oilers 4-1. "Me and Gallagher have played quite a bit together," said Galchenyuk, who was drafted third overall in 2012, behind former junior teammate turned Edmonton Oiler first overall selection Nail Yakupov. "I love playing with (Gallagher). He is a fun player. If I give him the puck he usually makes no mistake with it. Hes fast and has great vision." It was a special night for Gallagher who made his first pro appearance playing in his hometown of Edmonton. "It was pretty cool," said the 21-year-old. "I was pretty excited to come in here tonight and play in front of a lot of friends and family that I grew up with. I saw a lot of games in this building as a kid so it was really special walking down that tunnel tonight. "I just wanted to help and contribute. To contribute by being on the score sheet is always fun." Brandon Prust and Max Pacioretty also scored and P.K. Subban had three assists for the Canadiens (2-2-0), who were making their second stop on a four-game Western Canadian trip. "I thought it was a great team effort tonight," Subban said. "We stuck to the game plan and we didnt get frustrated when they got a goal early on. We battled back and we did it for each other. "It feels great to get our first win on this road trip. We have two more really important games and an opportunity to build some momentum coming out of this road trip." Ryan Smyth replied for the Oilers (1-3-0), who now embark on a lengthy six-game road trip. Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins said his team played well, but didnt have much puck luck. "I wouldnt mind a break to go our way, he said. "I thought we played a good game, probably the most solid game that weve played so far. Improvement is nice, but its not good enough if you end up losing the game." There was no scoring in the first period, but there were some quality chances. Edmontons best early opportunity came 11 minutes in when Justin Schultz pinched in from the point and had a point-blank shot on net, but hit Montreal goalie Peter Budaj in the face, ripping off his mask. With seven minutes left in the first the puck was lying in the Edmonton crease with Oilers starter Devan Dubnyk out of the play, but defender Nick Schultz was able to swoop in and fish it to safety. The best chance for either team belonged to the Habs just a minute later as Rene Bourque clanged a shot off of the post. Montreal out-shot the Oilers 12-9 in the first 20 minutes. "It was a matter of missed opportunities in the first," said Oilers captain Andrew Ference. "We showed a lot of jump right off the bat and we got a couple of power plays that I dont think we even got a shot on. We had some really good shifts and some really good portions of hockey and it was just taking our foot off the pedal." The Oilers went up 1-0 on the power play two-and-a-half minutes into the second period as Taylor Hall fed a pass in front from the side of the net and a diving Smyth was able to get a piece of it and direct it past Budaj. The Canadiens tied the game with a power-play goal of their own just before the mid-mark as Galchenyuk floated a pass to Gallagher at the side of the net and he was able to swat it in with the heel of his stick for his third of the season. Galchenyuk earned his sixth assist in four games on the play. Montreal then edged ahead 2-1 with eight minutes to play in the second as Dubnyk was able to make a kick save in tight, but couldnt keep Prust from sweeping in his own rebound from the shot. The Canadiens came close to adding to their lead with 11 minutes left, but Gallagher rang a shot off the post. Montreal did make it 3-1 three minutes later, breaking out on a two-on-one with an Oiler defender pinching, as Gallagher made a good pass to Galchenyuk and he deposited his first of the season before Dubnyk could get across. The Oilers pulled their goalie with four minutes left and had a chance when Ales Hemsky hit a post, but Pacioretty ended any hopes of a comeback with an empty-netter. The Oilers now head out for a game in Toronto on Saturday. The Canadiens play the third game of a four-game trip in Vancouver on Saturday.
