We can list all the negative things from last night’s game pretty easily. The Montreal Canadiens lost their 25th game in regulation. It was also the seventh time this season where the Habs were shutout, and by allowing two goals, their goal differential has fallen to fourth last in the league at -31. It could always get worse, here’s looking at you Arizona, but it’s still bad.
However, other things happened last night that can at least force the smallest of grins on a Habs fans face. Remember Al Montoya? The Habs chose to move the veteran goaltender after he was healthy enough to come off injured reserve.
