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.
That's David Desharnais' first goal since Nov. 22, the day Brendan Gallagher got injured. Maybe he actually is that important.
