Canadiens Shock Avalanche by Halting Their 9-Game Winning Streak During St. Louis' Heartfelt Comeback

Tuesday, March 26th, 2024

Sam Montembeault contributed with 27 saves as the Montreal Canadiens secured a victory over the Colorado Avalanche with a score of 2-1 on a Tuesday evening, marking a significant moment with Martin St. Louis rejoining the team.

The goals from Nick Suzuki and Joel Armia led the Canadiens to end Colorado’s winning streak of nine games. St. Louis was back on the bench after a brief absence, having taken time off to be by his son's side following a hockey-related injury.

For the Avalanche, Nathan MacKinnon found the net, continuing his impressive streak to 19 games where he has earned at least one point. This season, his consistent performance in 35 home games is only surpassed by Wayne Gretzky’s record 40-game point streak during the 1988-89 season.

Colorado’s goalie Justus Annunen saved 25 attempts, and despite being taken off for an extra attacker in the last minute, the team failed to level the score. Cale Makar emphasized the importance of excelling in every match, especially as they face potential playoff-bound teams.

Next, the Canadiens are set to play against the Philadelphia Flyers at home this Thursday. Similarly, the Avalanche will be welcoming the New York Rangers on the same day.
