Playoff hockey suits Jeff Petry just fine.
The Montreal Canadiens defenseman - rescued from an Edmonton Oilers team who'd never come within a sniff of the postseason during his tenure - scored his first career playoff goal during the first period of Sunday's game 2 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Petry, highly coveted prior to this year's trade deadline because of his right-hand shot, fired a nice little wrist shot that completely fooled Ben Bishop.

Petry had recorded 18 shots on goal while averaging 23:23 of ice time through Montreal's first seven playoff games.
