If the Montreal Canadiens played the same game with the same result as they did on Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets in October, November, December, or if there was anything at stake except for last place, it would be a mightily frustrating game.
Luckily, it wasn’t. The Canadiens were outshot and out-chanced, but it was a tie game midway through the third period, and they had every chance to come away with a point or two.
After the game Jesse Ylönen was sent down, and it is the right move considering he couldn’t really break into a bigger role than the fourth line despite some relative production from that spot in the lineup.
