MONTREAL — The fans cheered sarcastically when Sam Montembeault made a routine save with the Montreal Canadiens already trailing 2-0 minutes into the game.Montembeault got beat three more times before getting the hook, and the Canadiens were crushed 8-2 by the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night, dropping to 4-5-1 on the season.
"A little stunned,” captain Nick Suzuki said. “You're down 4-0 10 minutes in, after we played two good games. I don't know what that was out there, so I'm just trying to move on right now." Montembeault allowed five goals on only 10 shots after stopping just six of 10 in a 7-2 Canadiens loss to the New Rangers last Tuesday.
Montembeault entered the season with high expectations after playing his way to becoming Montreal’s bona fide No. 1 last season. The fans cheered again when Cayden Primeau entered the game in relief, but that hardly helped. He allowed three goals on 13 shots as Seattle kept its foot on the gas.“I get it,” St. Louis said. “I'm disappointed like they are and I understand where they're coming from."
