There was really only one way a game as weird and bizarre as Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final could end -- with a player scoring a goal off of his face.

That came after the Canadiens and Rangers exchanged own goals in the final three minutes of regulation. It was a game that also featured Daniel Carcillo getting ejected for getting into it with a linesman and Brandon Prust somehow avoiding a penalty for an incredibly late hit on Derek Stepan.
Dustin Tokarski was the real star for Montreal as he stopped 37-of-39 shots he faced in just his second career playoff start.
