The Montreal Canadiens earned a chance to pull themselves to a .500 record with Saturday’s overtime win against the Buffalo Sabres, but came up short by being on the wrong side of a decision in extra time on Tuesday night versus the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The point earned does give them that chance again tonight, as they will have 20 points through 20 games with a victory.
The two points are ripe for the picking from the Arizona Coyotes, who crawl into Montreal with an atrocious record of 2-15-3, without a single regulation win on the season.
