Alexander Radulov scores his first with the Habs and it's a beauty!

When Montreal Canadiesn general manager Marc Bergevin took a gamble on Alexander Radulov this summer it was for the purpose of adding exactly this kind of explosive play making ability to his team.

Radulov could not have picked a better time to find the back of the net, doing it in front of a packed and raucous crowd at the Bell Centre, and all but putting the nail in the coffin as he gave his team a three goal lead with 15 minutes left in the game.

It was a terrific display of both skill and patience from the Russian superstar, with Radulov out-skating and then out-waiting his opponents until he had a perfect opening and capitalized.

 Radulov's display of emotion after the goal nearly matched that of the crowd.
