Jeff Tambellini drew New York even for the second time 15:24 into the third with his second power-play goal of the game.
Jaroslav Halak made 29 saves in his fourth straight start for the Canadiens (6-5-0), who finished a 4-2 homestand.
Travis Moen, who assisted on Jaroslav Spacek's goal in the first, got his third goal 7:44 into the third period to put the Canadiens up 2-1. Glen Metropolit assisted on both Montreal goals.
