Rene Bourque scored three goals and the Canadiens chased goalie Henrik Lundqvist and defeated the Rangers 7-4 on Tuesday to stave off elimination.
The Rangers, who lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, will have another chance to earn a trip to the Stanley Cup final in Game 6 on Thursday night in New York.
"Everybody was ready for this game," Bourque said.
