The Montreal Canadiens predictably lost to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night, but once again showed some of the mettle that has been present since Martin St. Louis took over as head coach. Falling down 4-1 during the second period, it could have turned into a very ugly outing if not for that newfound will to fight.
Storming back with three goals in the final five minutes of the second, they actually entered the third in a tie game they had no business being in.
Nick Suzuki got things going with a beautiful playmaking effort, circling behind the net to find a streaking Joel Edmundson to cut the lead to two.
