The mic has been dropped.

After the team held the Boston Bruins to zero shots on goal during the second period of Game 1, the Ottawa Senators' social media took to Twitter to throw some shade.

The Senators, however, went on to lose by a score of 2-1, prompting the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective to offer the following retort:

How do you like them apples?

MONTREAL - Tanner Glass scored in the first period and Henrik Lundqvist made 31 saves to help the New York Rangers beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-0 on Wednesday night in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night at Bell Centre.

Michael Grabner added an empty-net goal with 1:10 left to play.

Montreal outshot New York 16-5 in the first period, but couldn't beat Lundqvist.

The Canadiens are looking to a avenge a six-game loss in the first round to New York in 2014, a series in which Carey Price was injured in the opening game on a hit from Chris Kreider. This time, Kreider pulled up when barreling toward Price in the first period.

Fired up by 1960s pop star Ginette Reno's national anthem, the Canadiens were all over New York in the opening period, but it was the Rangers who struck first 9:50 on only their third shot.

Montreal's Tomas Plekanec won a draw in his own zone, but fourth-line winger Glass pounced on it and lifted a backhand from the slot over Price's shoulder.

Held without a single shot in the second period, the Boston Bruins' sticks came alive when it mattered most.

With the score tied at one late in the third period, winger Brad Marchand made good on a rebound opportunity after Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson made a huge save on the initial shot by Patrice Bergeron.

Overall, Ottawa out-shot Boston 27-25, with both Anderson and Tuukka Rask putting in stellar efforts.

San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton will not play in Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers, as he remains day to day with a lower-body injury.

On Tuesday, Thornton was hopeful he'd be ready for the opening game of the series. He missed the final three games of the regular season as he dealt with the ailment.

Thornton scored seven goals and added 43 assists this season.

The Boston Bruins may have lost another defenseman to injury.

Already playing Game 1 without Torey Krug and Brandon Carlo, Colin Miller was forced to leave after being on the receiving end of a knee-on-knee hit from Ottawa Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki.

Miller returned briefly during the second period but was not on the bench to begin the third.

The Senators held the Bruins without a single shot on goal over the course of the second period, marking a first for the team in a playoff game.

For the Bruins, this was not a first.

Shots were then fired via social media.

Seems like a recipe for success to us.

The defending Stanley Cup champions aren't feeling rusty.

Bobby Ryan came to play.

Coming off a regular season in which he recorded career-low numbers, the Ottawa Senators' highest-paid forward proved his worth during the second period of Game 1 by getting the better of the Boston Bruins defense and goalie Tuukka Rask on this incredible individual effort.

Ryan managed only 13 goals in 62 regular-season games.

The Golden Knights appear to have found their coach.

A press conference has been scheduled for noon Thursday, where the NHL's 31st franchise is expected to name Gerard Gallant as head coach, according to Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Carp added Golden Knights owner Bill Foley would not confirm the hiring of Gallant, but it's widely believed the former Florida Panthers bench boss is indeed the man for the job.

Gallant spent two full seasons with Florida - and guided the team to a division title in 2015-16 - before being fired early this season. Prior to that, he served as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets from 2003-06.

Altogether, his career coaching record stands at 152-140-4-31, and at this point last year, he was coaching the Panthers in the playoffs and was later named a Jack Adams Award finalist.

Just as everyone predicted.

The first player to score in the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs is none other than Tanner Glass of the New York Rangers, who roofed the puck on Carey Price with a wicked backhand off the faceoff.

Glass entered the playoffs with one goal in his previous 60 postseason appearances.
