Montreal Canadiens News & Updates

On Saturday night in Montreal, the Vegas Golden Knights showcased a powerful offensive performance by scoring five straight goals in the second period, leading them to a 6-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.

Contributing to the Golden Knights' score were Tomas Hertl, Callahan Burke, Ivan Barbashev, Tanner Pearson, and Keegan Kolesar. For the Canadiens, Emil Heineman and Jayden Struble managed to score late in the game. Jack Eichel secured the win further with an empty-net goal.

Adin Hill of the Golden Knights successfully blocked 15 out of 17 shots, whereas Montreal's Sam Montembeault let in five goals from 25 attempts before being replaced by Cayden Primeau, who managed to save two out of three shots.

A crucial moment occurred when the Canadiens turned over the puck at the offensive blue line shortly after falling 2-0 behind, allowing Barbashev to score on a two-on-one rush.

Montreal experienced ongoing difficulties as they conceded five or more even-strength goals for the sixth instance this season. The strong even-strength play that had previously secured four wins out of their last five games was missing in this match.

For the Golden Knights, this triumph restored their momentum following two consecutive losses earlier in the week, while the Canadiens continue to face hurdles in enhancing their overall performance.

Up next, the Golden Knights are set to visit Philadelphia for a game on Monday, whereas the Canadiens will welcome the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday.
