The Montreal Canadiens were hoping to end their difficult road trip with back-to-back wins on Tuesday night, and iced a virtually-identical lineup from the night before, with the exception of Ben Scrivens, making his first start for the team since being acquired for Zack Kassian.
The game started poorly for the Canadiens, with a high-sticking penalty going to Tomas Fleischmann less than a minute into the game. Scrivens, however, gave Habs fans something to be positive about, by making several spectacular saves in the early going, keeping Florida off the board.
