In that second period, when a Jets player retrieved the puck in his zone and turned up ice, he might have had a bit of time to handle the puck than if he faced a Julien team. But what play could he make? Montreal removed most, if not all, of his options, forcing the Jets to execute poor passes that the Canadiens caught and turned into immediate scoring chances.
It’s been a tale of two teams for the Vancouver Canucks. The club only played three games this week, but each contest was wildly different. After a convincing, shutout effort on Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets, the Canucks returned to Bell MTS Place exactly 24 hours later, hoping to lock their second only back-to-back win of the season.
Brendan Gallagher scored twice in Montreal's four-goal second period and the Canadiens beat the Winnipeg Jets 7-1 Saturday night. Josh Anderson, Tyler Toffoli, Joel Armia, Paul Byron and Jeff Petry also scored for Montreal. Tomas Tatar had three assists and Carey Price stopped 28 shots.
