If nothing else, Carter Hart should be well rested for Saturday’s Stadium Series game.
The 20-year-old phenom was less than stellar, allowing three goals on nine shots and getting pulled halfway through the first period for the second consecutive game.
The players in front of him were even worse, allowing the Montreal Canadiens to gain speed breaking out of their zone, storm through the neutral zone and approach the net unimpeded.
Claude Giroux finished without a point for the fourth game in a row and the ninth time in 14 games.
