13 – Number of seconds needed by Tomas Plekanec to make Chris Phillips pay for his misbehavior, scoring a power play goal almost immediately after the Sens blue-liner went to the box in the first period.
5 – Consecutive number of games where the Canadiens have gotten on the board first, with Plekanec opening the scoring just over five minutes into Wednesday’s game.
38 – Number of penalty minutes racked up by the Habs and Senators in the first period alone, including two fights before the first TV time out.
5 – Consecutive number of games in which Andrei Markov has registered at least a point, picking up an assist against the Sens to bring his total to four goals and eight points in that span.
292 – Number of assists piled up by Markov throughout his 12-year NHL career, tying him with Hector “Toe” Blake at 25th on the Canadiens’ all-time assist leaderboard.
204 – Consecutive number of games played by Brandon Prust without taking a night off, adding to his current Canadiens iron man streak.
42 – Number of penalty minutes racked up by Ryan White through six games in 2012-13, giving him the league lead in that category so far this year.
