Last night’s loss to the Jets shows how far the Canadiens still have to go

The Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets played one of the most bizzare hockey games of this NHL season on Tuesday night. Winnipeg jumped out to a 4-0 lead on just six shots on goal inside the first period. Montreal then stormed back to score three before the intermission, then fully erased the four-goal deficit early in the second period thanks to Josh Anderson completing a hat trick.

Given a chance to take the lead with a short-handed penalty shot on the stick on Rem Pitlick, the shot was saved, and then the Jets cashed in on the remaining man advantage time.
