So the Montreal Canadiens opened their season with a 3-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils, but like any pre-season game there are certain things that are a lot more important than the score.
The Habs opened the scoring in the first period when the line of Markus Eisenschmid, Daniel Audette, and Nikita Scherbak put together some great passing and Eisenschmid found himself alone in front, roofing the puck over Devils goaltender Scott Wedgewood.
That goal was sandwiched by two great shifts by the Habs first line of Artturi Lehkonen, Brendan Gallagher, and Alex Galchenyuk.
