Sitting at a very disappointing 3-9 record on the season, the Montreal Canadiens looked to get an elusive win on home ice against a somewhat familiar foe.

Strictly speaking, it was actually a solid game for the Canadiens. They vastly outplayed the Golden Knights, but found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory anyways.
