Recap of the Last Game

All good things must come to an end, but the Canadiens surely wished for a better conclusion than Tuesday’s result. Hoping to extend their winning streak to five, they instead played what many called their weakest performance of the season, conceding three goals to the Philadelphia Flyers in the opening period.

Montembeault’s Night

Goaltender Samuel Montembeault, aiming to regain his rhythm and confidence, conceded three times on the first six shots he faced. However, he then stood tall, stopping 35 of the next 36 and making several highlight saves that gave Montreal new life.

Offensive Sparks

Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov led the effort, with help from Juraj Slafkovský, Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, and Kirby Dach. Their surge pushed the Canadiens into the lead heading into the third period.

Late Misfortune

That early deficit left Montreal no room for mistakes. A stroke of bad luck allowed Nikita Grebenkin to score his first NHL goal to tie the game, and the Flyers went on to claim victory in the shootout.

“From three in six, Montembeault stopped 35 of the next 36 shots.”
