Max Pacioretty snapped a five-game goalless skid in a big way Sunday with two goals as the Montreal Canadiens rallied late to defeat the Edmonton Oilers.

With the pair of goals, Pacioretty sits second in the NHL with 33, just one behind Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby.

It marks Pacioretty's fourth straight 30-goal campaign, but still the 40-goal mark eludes him.

Pacioretty is on pace to finish with 39 goals for the second time in his career. He's been far and away the club's most lethal offensive option and, as mentioned, is in contention for the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy.

However, the question remains: Will Pacioretty finally eclipse the 40-goal mark this season?
