Canadiens vs. Flames game recap: Habs fall short in a goaltending duel

As the early season in the North Division begins to take shape, the Montreal Canadiens have hit the ground running, dashing out to a 5-0-2 start and showing little sign of slowing down. Saturday night represented another tough task for the club as the Calgary Flames returned to the Bell Centre for their final game of a two-game series.

In the early meeting on Thursday night, Montreal used special teams to grab three goals en route to a 4-2 victory. While they struggled a bit at even strength, they found a way to break down the Flames’ defence and goaltender David Rittich to secure two points in the standings.
