Well, the winning ways of the Montreal Canadiens were short-lived. Though they tried valiantly to come back against a very good Colorado Avalanche squad, they just couldn’t climb out of a three-goal hole like they could early in this season.
Unfortunately, the loss on the scoreboard wasn’t the only one of the night for the Habs. Quite early in the game, Jesperi Kotkaniemi was taken out by a scary hit from Nikita Zadorov, from which he would not return.
At first glance, I honestly thought this was a clean hit.
