Here we go again. Game five of the young season with the Montreal Canadiens still awaiting their first competitive victory since July 5.
Jake Allen started in net, Alexander Romanov got paired together with David Savard on the third defensive pairing, and Nick Suzuki got an opportunity to play alongside Mike Hoffman and Brendan Gallagher on the first line.
A flurry of early penalties saw Montreal get a four-on-three man advantage for a little over a minute. The power play continued to look just as blunt as before. When two of the penalized players had returned onto the ice, leaving Andrei Svechnikov all alone in the sin bin, Chris Wideman suddenly unleashed a point shot.
