The Montreal Canadiens visit with the San Jose Sharks promised to be a defensive battle Friday, Dec. 2. It did not disappoint as Martin Jones wins his 13th game—tied for most this 2016-17 NHL season—over all-world goalie Carey Price.
Montreal suffered its second straight 2-1 regulation loss in California. (It lost at the Anaheim Ducks Nov. 30.) Moreover, it has not won a visit to San Jose this entire millennium.
The Canadiens finish the Death Valley Trip with a visit to the Los Angeles Kings Sunday. The Sharks get a rare five-day weekend, not playing again until the Ottawa Senators visit this coming Wednesday.
