Game Recap:It was an anemic effort by the Canadiens in the first game back after the Olympic break. They struggled to exit their own zone, managed just two shots in the second period and rarely challenged Jimmy Howard. P.K. Subban had a dreadful game taking bad penalties and making poor decisions on pinches and coverage. Brian Gionta salvaged a point for the Habs.

| Post-game Press Conference |
- “[Alex Galchenyuk] works hard. He tries to create offence. It’s not always easy after missing so many [games.] Not only for Alex but you could tell for most of the players the execution, tonight, was not there from both teams.”
- “Both teams played solid defensively and there was not much space on the ice. “
- “We put ourselves in a position to get a point. You’re always disappointed when you go to overtime and you don’t get any points. You wish you could get it in the shootout. Obviously it was not the case tonight.”
Captain Brian Gionta
- “They were doing a good job of bottling us up. We just weren’t putting any pressure on them.”
Red Wings Coach Mike Babcock
- “I thought we played good and even in the final minute. It was a tight game. I wish we shot the puck a little more. But other than that, it was two teams checking really hard, and there wasn’t a lot of room out there. I just think we played well. We played with good structure.”
