Prior to the game, Paul Romanuk mentioned that Ondrej Pavelec had just five wins in 17 games against the Montreal Canadiens.
It seemed like that record may have been on the Winnipeg Jets' goalie's mind, as Max Pacioretty's innocent-looking shot in the first few moments of game almost went in. As Mike Johnson shared after that close call, Pacioretty is one of only two players who has a shot in each game this season, with Daniel Sedin the only one to match that feat.
