Canadiens @ Devils: Game Preview and Broadcast Info

Montreal aims to rebound after a disappointing performance as they travel to New Jersey. The game starts at 7:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM PST.

Montreal's Struggles Against Philadelphia

After eyeing a potential five-game winning streak, the Canadiens experienced a major setback on Tuesday night. They conceded three goals in the first period against the Philadelphia Flyers, marking what has been described as their worst game of the season.

Samuel Montembeault, who was looking to regain form and confidence, faced six shots early on and allowed three goals. However, he then made a remarkable recovery, stopping 35 of the next 36 shots, including several spectacular saves that kept Montreal competitive.

Team Effort and Late Momentum

Players like Lane Hutson, Ivan Demidov, Juraj Slafkovský, Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, and Kirby Dach contributed to the Canadiens taking the lead going into the final period.

Their earlier mistakes, though, left no room for error. A single unlucky moment allowed Nikita Grebenkin to tie the game with his first NHL goal. The Flyers ultimately secured the extra point by winning the shootout.

"From three in six, Montembeault stopped 35 of the next 36, including some ten-bellers that gave his team the chance to wrest and hold momentum for much of the rest of the game."
"A single instance of bad fortune let Nikita Grebenkin tie the game with his first NHL goal."

Author's summary: The Canadiens faced an early setback against the Flyers but showed resilience before ultimately falling in a shootout, highlighting their need to improve consistency.
