A lot of teams have given the Red Wings problems this season, but you can single Montreal as a specific thorn.
The Canadiens completed a four-game season sweep Tuesday with a 3-1 victory over the Wings in Montreal. With the loss, the Wings are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs for the third straight season.
Andreas Athanasiou scored an early third-period goal, giving the Wings some spark late. But Montreal goaltender Carey Price was superb on a milestone evening for him, and Max Domi scored his second of the game, an empty netter with 48 seconds left, to clinch the victory.
