The Montreal Canadiens played their best game of the season against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. Saturday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings was a close second.
Thing got off a little slowly in the opening minutes, with the play relegated to the neutral zone. Neither side could get anything going, and the crowd silently waited for something to happen. The Canadiens were the ones getting the short stints of zone time, with almost none for the visitors.
The Red Wings were the first to get a chance on a counter-attack, but Carey Price was able to make a big save to keep the Wings off the board.
