As they had done a few times in recent games, the Habs had a rough first period on Saturday night when they hosted the Los Angeles Kings after a long road trip. The shots were 16-5 after 20 minutes, and even that total of five for Montreal seemed to be from a generous counter in the opening few minutes of play. The Canadiens were down 2-0 before the midpoint of the period, and a quick flurry in the final minutes of regulation wasn’t enough to overcome the start.
