CANADIENS 5, OILERS 3: Max Pacioretty scored two goals and set up another as Montreal halted a four-game road losing streak with a triumph over Edmonton.

P.K. Subban recorded a goal and two assists, fellow defenseman Tomas Kaberle and Lars Eller also tallied and Peter Budaj made 24 saves for the Canadiens, who are 1-1-0 on their four-game road trip.

Kaberle atoned for an earlier miscue three minutes into the third period with his third goal of the season. Rene Bourque's backhand shot from the right side was blocked, but the puck went directly to Kaberle, who beat Nikolai Khabibulin from the left of the crease to snap a 2-2 tie.

Eller added a much-needed insurance goal just over two minutes later when he banked the puck off Khabibulin and in from behind the net for his third tally in four games.

Taylor Hall made things interesting later in the third with his 24th goal, but Pacioretty scored into an empty net in the final minute to cap his second straight two-goal performance.

Oilers captain Shawn Horcoff opened the scoring with a power-play goal with just under eight minutes remaining in the first period. But Subban answered during a man advantage with 17 seconds left in the session with a one-timer from the blue line for his third goal in six matches.

Pacioretty put Montreal ahead two minutes into the second, banging his own rebound past Khabibulin from the doorstep after Scott Gomez was denied on a wrap attempt at the right post. The goal capped Pacioretty's third two-point performance in four games.

Linus Omark tied the contest less than five minutes later as he intercepted Kaberle's backhand pass attempt above the slot and beat Peter Budaj with a long wrist shot.

Khabibulin stopped 26 shots for the Oilers, who have dropped four of five overall and seven of eight at home.
