In preseason/exhibition games, the score isn’t that important. But this isn’t a normal preseason/exhibition era of the NHL season. With only one game, everything that happens on the ice is worth making a note of and using as analysis for the future. And for the Montreal Canadiens, the future is on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Habs dropped the game to the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2. They gave up the first goal 33 seconds into the game via a cross-ice play. Montreal managed to get on the board, but never managed to grab the lead from the Leafs.
