Unfortunately, the Montreal Canadiens’ first game against the Winnipeg Jets ended on a bad note with a vicious play by Mark Scheifele on Jake Evans after he scored the empty-net goal on his 25th birthday.
Coach Dominique Ducharme said that Evans is doing better today, but will be out indefinitely with a concussion.
