That certainly didn't take long.

Montreal Canadiens forward David Desharnais batted the puck in out of midair for the first goal of the Winter Classic just 74 seconds into Friday's game.

Desharnais breaks a 17-game goalless drought with the tally.

The 29-year-old has eight goals and 12 assists in 40 games this season.
