Game 2 of the Canadiens’ Super Bowl matinee weekend saw Al Montoya take the crease on Sunday, and will Montreal to a standings point against the Edmonton Oilers, allowing only a single skills competition goal by Leon Draisaitl. Unfortunately, that was all the Oilers and Cam Talbot needed, as the Habs dropped the 1-0 shootout loss.
Defensively, this was a game of survival for the Habs against the Oilers top line of Connor McDavid (97), Draisaitl (29), and Patrick Maroon (19).
The Oilers trio, along with contributions from defensemen like Oscar Klefbom (77), certainly kept Montoya on his toes.
