Last night’s game against the Colorado Avalanche was a perfect chance for the Montreal Canadiens to get back on the right track after a disastrous week. The Avs played last night in Toronto, while the Habs had been off since Saturday, giving them a great chance to jump all over a tired team.
That’s exactly what they ended up doing right from the outset of the game. The forwards were flying and making plays, while the defence limited the Avs to just 22 shots.
Even with a scoreless first period, the Canadiens put their foot down and started piling up more chances, and the goals followed soon after.
