Newly Acquired Kaberle Leads Montreal Over Devils 2-1

Tomas Kaberle, acquired in a trade with Carolina on Friday, had two assists in his debut with Montreal, leading the Canadiens to a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.

The victory enabled the Canadiens to snap a two-game losing streak, while the Devils fell for the sixth time in their last eight games. It was only Montreal's second win in the last eight games.

Kaberle, acquired Friday in a trade with the Hurricanes for fellow struggling defenseman Jaroslav Spacek, assisted on Max Pacioretty's power play goal in the second period and took the initial shot on Erik Cole's third period goal. Cole also had an assist on Pacioretty's goal.
