After dropping a lackluster game 1, the Montreal Canadiens needed a big win over the Vegas Golden Knights to take the series back to Montreal with a split. They managed a very good opening frame on Monday night, so the hope was that they’d be able to channel that into a full 60 in game 2.
They may not have gotten a proper full-60, but they did get the win, and that’s all that matters. Welcome to your Bottom Six Minutes for a huge game 2 for the Habs.
They were able to generate some legitimate offense out of their stellar first period, similar to that they played in game one, but this time with some goals.
