In first half injury time, Dilly Duka almost gave Montreal a cushion when he collected Hassoun Camara's pass before curling an effort just beyond Shuttleworth's far post.
Within minutes of the restart, the Impact were again threatening to add to their tally as Justin Mapp brought a solid stop out of the New England keeper.
However, the visitors were back on terms on 69 minutes through Lee Nguyen, who bagged his 15th of the campaign.
