The Montreal Canadiens may have dominated five-on-five play against the San Jose Sharks from a possession standpoint on Tuesday night, but it didn’t matter. They went scoreless at even strength — and on six power play attempts — en route to being shut out 4-0 and putting an end to their two-game winning streak.
If they’d have just shot the damn puck a little more, maybe it would be a three-game winning streak.
Natural Stat Trick paints a bleak picture for last night’s effort at five-on-four for the power play. In over 10 minutes of ice time, they managed just 12 attempts at goal, only four of those attempts being on target, and a whopping one high-danger scoring chance from all that.
