Montreal − This was a thin and weak Montreal lineup Tuesday the Red Wings faced, and the Wings did exactly what a maturing team should do.
The Wings never gave the Canadiens a chance, scoring early and often in a decisive 5-0 victory.
Montreal natives David Perron (two goals and one assist) and Joe Veleno (goal) each got on the scoresheet, and Lucas Raymond and Matt Luff added goals, while goaltender Ville Husso returned to the lineup and stopped 23 shots for his fourth shutout.
The Wings (35-33-9) swept a two-game road trip through Toronto and Montreal and have now won four of their last five games.
