They quickly had the opportunity to go on a power play… But the team was unable to capitalize despite having chances to score.
The Devils’ goalie was on fire during the final period:

In the second period, Jake Allen’s brilliance stood out… And that’s about all of it.
The Canadiens weren’t effective in the offensive zone after buzzing at the beginning of the period, and in the end, it was the Devils who took advantage once again.

Martin St-Louis’s men began the third period on a power play.
Not only were the Canadiens unable to score: they also gave up a goal at the very end of the Devils’ penalty.

After Jack’s goal, the other Hughes decided to join the party.

The Montreal team lost 4-0… In a truly disappointing match.
Overtime
This photo perfectly summarizes the Canadiens’ afternoon.
Especially considering that the effort level was abysmal for most of the players on the Tricolore…
