Red Wings fall flat in Montreal against slumping Canadiens

Montreal — The Bell Centre has been the scene of a few ugly Red Wings losses these past few years.

You can add Saturday's to the list.

Montreal, coming into the game winless, unleashed a lot of frustration with a 6-1 victory over the Red Wings.

Dylan Larkin scored just five seconds into an early power play, giving the Wings a 1-0 lead and seemingly the start the team wanted against the confidence-poor Canadiens.

But, instead, Montreal scored six unanswered goals, drove goaltender Thomas Greiss (12 saves on 17 shots) out midway through the game, and convincingly earned their first victory.
