The Montreal Canadiens played one of their best games in recent memory against the Winnipeg Jets, winning 4-1 and managing to look like the better team for most of the game. At the very least, they looked far better than most were expecting them to, particularly against a team that went into that game as the number one team in the entire Western conference.
Even more surprising was the two-goal game from Evgenii Dadonov that helped them do it.
Dadonov has struggled mightily to score this season. He’s had some good chances, but just seemed to be fighting it on most nights, incapable of capitalizing on anything.
