MONTREAL — Just when the Montreal Canadiens seemed to be gaining some momentum, they were brought up short in a 6-2 loss at home to the Vegas Golden Knights.
After winning three of four games, including a 3-0 shutout of the Edmonton Oilers earlier in the week, the Canadiens took a step backwards in giving up five unanswered goals in the second period to Vegas."We’re a young team and that comes with the territory, but the guys know that games like this are unacceptable for where we’re at," St. Louis said.
After Saturday's scoreless first period, the second period was a microcosm the Canadiens' struggles on both sides of the puck. "We turned the puck over and made some mistakes in coverage in our own end. We’re the ones that caused this by playing badly in the second and it’s a shame because I think I was doing well in the first period.”
