Corey Perry scored in his first game with Montreal and the Canadiens beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 Saturday night to conclude a stellar season-opening trip. Perry, after 14 seasons in Anaheim and one with Dallas, signed a one-year deal with Montreal before this season. But once you get in the flow of the game, I’ve played a few games in this league so it comes back," the 35-year-old Perry said. Perry’s goal came 11:42 into the second period after Canucks defenseman Olli Juolevi rang a shot off the post. Montreal’s Ben Chiarot found the puck deep in Vancouver territory and took off, dishing a pass to Perry in the neutral zone.
