The Montreal Canadiens and Florida Panthers turned in one of the crazier barn burners you’ll see in the NHL this season. With 10 first-period goals, two goaltending changes for the Habs alone, and some patently hilarious officiating, it had everything from an entertainment standpoint.
And with the whole of this season being a learning process for much of the Canadiens roster, a very encouraging development is how easily they’re finding offense even in games where they’re outgunned.
It only took them one shot against the Panthers to find some on Thursday night.
First shot of the game, Mike Matheson!
