Montreal Canadiens forward Tomas Plekanec scored his first goal of the season against Vezina Trophy winner Tuukka Rask on Saturday and did even more damage versus a rookie netminder Sunday.

Plekanec gave the Habs an early lead over the Ottawa Senators by banking in a shot off the skate of first-year goalie Matt O'Connor almost halfway through the first. The 32-year-old wasn't done there, finishing on a breakaway later in the period to double the advantage.

The Czech Republic native has played his entire 12-year career in Montreal, with Sunday's effort marking the 23rd multi-goal game of his career.
