The Montreal Canadiens lost 4-3 against the Edmonton Oilers in overtime last night, ending their regular season with a record of 24-21-11, or 59 points in 56 games played.
With all the North Division Playoffs spots secured, this game didn’t mean much to either team, but the Montreal Canadiens could have used a confidence boost before the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
But, their priority was to rest key players to make sure they’re healthy come playoff time, which is understandable.
