Another shot at a solid win streak for the Montreal Canadiens was shut down on Tuesday night, as the Vancouver Canucks got their 1st home win of the season and beat the Habs 5-1 in regulation.
The Habs experienced their 2nd game without making the 1st goal as Jared McCann tapped in Brandon Prust‘s rebound 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the 1st period. This was followed by a midway mark goal from Bo Horvat, which turned into the 1st time the Habs had trailed behind 2 goals this season.
