P.K. Subban brought the home crowd to its feet with his second goal of the second period on Saturday night, undressing Avs goalie Calvin Pickard with a forehand deke to cap off an all-around outstanding play.
The Habs star defenseman left the penalty box after his holding penalty expired and hustled to collect a loose puck deep in the Avs zone with defenseman Tyson Barrie in hot pursuit.

Subban circled the net and turned at the inside hash marks before going backhand-forehand to beat Pickard, who was left with no chance as he was hung out to dry by his defense.
The goal came as the Canadiens stormed back from an early 1-0 deficit to notch three straight in the middle frame.
