It wasn’t the same commanding effort on Thursday night as the Canadiens had put forth a few days earlier versus the Winnipeg Jets. Montreal was a bit too eager to get the puck moving up the ice, and the result was several mistakes that led to odd-man rushes, which had been quite rare for the team. Jake Allen was able to turn aside a few breakaways, but he couldn’t bail his teammates out of all their breakdowns, surrendering three goals in three periods.
