Tuesday night, by the time the puck dropped at the Staples Center, the Canadiens were already aware that the Columbus Blue Jackets and Pittsburgh Penguins had recorded victories on the night, and the Carolina Hurricanes had secured a point against the Boston Bruins. Needing a solid effort to keep pace with their wild-card rivals, the Habs responded with a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings: just their third victory in California over the last six seasons.
