We were without Canadiens hockey for nine days following a positive COVID-19 test on the roster, but in the end it was worth the wait. The players were fresh, and committed to a hot start that had eluded them in many of the games preceding the pause. Just 18 seconds in (plus about five minutes for a frame-by-frame offside review), Montreal had all the offence it needed off the stick of Jesperi Kotkaniemi, backed up by the first shutout of the season from Carey Price, a rather easy 17-save night.
