Game Report

The Canadiens ended their five-game winning streak in spectacular fashion in Winnipeg.

The Jets scored four goals on six shots in 3:52 of the first period on a shaky Sam Montembeault. The Canadiens scored four goals of their own in 9:13 powered by a Josh Anderson hat trick. And finally the Jets scored another four goals, each one coming on the power-play.

It was a wildly entertaining game with lots of goal scoring, skilled special teams play, a penalty shot, multiple odd man rushes and a goal review.

The Canadiens’ standouts were Anderson, Ryan Poehling and Artturi Lehkonen. Poehling made a nice pass for Anderson’s third goal and was buzzing around the net all game. Lehkonen’s ninth goal of the season ranks him second on the Habs in points.

With all of the special teams’ play, Marty St. Louis admitted that “It was really hard tonight to manage the bench.” It was another learning experience for the Canadiens head coach who has just 10 games experience behind the bench.

The best moment of the night came before puck drop when the Hoosli Ukrainian Male Chorus sang the Ukrainian and Canadian national anthems. It was powerful and touching.

Up Next

The Canadiens continue their road trip by travelling to Calgary for a Thursday night contest against the Flames.
