The Montreal Canadiens came into Denver looking to halt another Colorado Avalanche winning streak—this one consecutive wins at home, but it was not to be as they fell 2-0 on Wednesday night.
The Canadiens began the game well with a very lengthy opening shift in the Avalanche zone, and in fact, the Habs spent the first four minutes playing and passing with a great deal of confidence and crispness. Alex Galchenyuk and Artturi Lehkonen especially seemed to be clicking. Despite that, Colorado got the first two shots of the night, as they collected themselves at the five minute mark.
