MONTREAL -- Montreal coach Claude Julien called the Canadiens' loss to the lowly Arizona Coyotes "embarrassing."
The Canadiens blew three leads and the Coyotes won 5-4 on Thursday night for their first regulation victory of the season. Derek Stepan and Christian Fischer scored power-play goals in the third period for Arizona.
"It's more embarrassing than frustrating," Julien said. "Unacceptable, especially given how we played in the first period. To be unable to remain concentrated for the next two periods. We've been talking about this team for two days, that we had to be careful.
