MONTREAL -- The memory of their own lopsided loss was too fresh in the Canadiens minds for them to get too excited about laying a one-sided beating on the Colorado Avalanche.Max Pacioretty had four goals, Brian Flynn scored twice during a six-goal first period and Montreal routed the Avalanche 10-1 on Saturday night in their biggest offensive output at home since moving to the Bell Centre in 1996.That was weighed against a 10-0 beating they took Nov. 4 in Columbus.We went through the same thing earlier this year and we know that one game doesnt make our club, Pacioretty said. They obviously didnt show their best, just like we didnt in our game in Columbus.It seemed like everything went against us in that game and tonight everything went against them. We have a lot of respect for that club, but we liked the way we played.Flynn, Pacioretty and Artturi Lehkonen each scored against Calvin Pickard in the opening 7:12, and then Pacioretty, Paul Byron and Flynn each had a goal among the first four shots on Semyon Varlamov.Pacioretty completed his hat trick in the second period and added another in the third to give the captain seven goals in his last four games.Alexander Radulov and Jeff Petry also scored for Montreal, which has shown no drop-off without injured scoring leader and first-line center Alex Galchenyuk.

The Avs end a four-game trip Sunday night in Toronto.Avalanche wing Jarome Iginla played his 1,500th NHL game. While the 39-year-old didnt figure into the scoring, he took two minor penalties for throwing punches at Alexei Emelin after the Canadiens defenseman clipped Joe Colborne with a low check with less than four minutes to play.Ive seen him throw hits like that before, said Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog, who returned after missing 10 games with a lower-body injury. I just dont like how he doesnt answer to it after when Iggy comes over.Everybody in this room is embarrassed enough. Before the game you want to win the game for Iggy and you want to play for each other and win for each other. So hands down, that was tough to see Iggy have to suffer through that game in such a milestone for him.Flynn began the barrage by scoring on Daniel Carrs rebound at 2:56, and Pacioretty fired a wrist shot past Pickard at 5:13. Lehkonen roofed a backhand from the edge of the crease at 7:12.Varlamov, who allowed six goals on 16 shots, was greeted by Paciorettys second of the night on a deflection of Andrei Markovs point shot at 8:13.

Montreal was on a power play when Petrys weak shot from the point eluded Varlamovs glove with 0.10 seconds left in the period.Pickard was back in goal to start the third and was beaten at 7:28 when Pacioretty jammed in Torrey Mitchells rebound.Game notes Pacioretty added an assist for five points. ...
