After two straight losses at the Bell Centre, the Habs were looking to snap out of their slump on home ice.
Jacob Fowler was back in net for a second straight game.
Here are the lineups:

Red Wings forward lineup if Dylan Larkin hadn't demanded a trade:
Larkin – Arvidsson – Raymond
Copp – DeBrincat – Kane
Finnie – Kasper – Brandsegg-Nygard
Compher – Rasmussen – KolesarSimon Edvinsson would also have been re-signed by now because Yzerman would still be the GM.

Cole Caufield thought he had scored the game's first goal, but no replay showed that the puck had crossed the goal line.
No goal.

In the second period, another goal was disallowed for the CH.
This time, it was Zachary Bolduc who was robbed by the officials…

Jacob Fowler came to the rescue early in the third period. He finished the game with 29 saves on as many shots and was perfect in the shootout.
What a save on that play.
FOWLER SAYS NO
GOBBLE THAT UP, FOWLER

Actually, both goalies played solidly.
Heading into overtime with the score tied at 0-0.
Guess what?
In overtime, Alex Texier thought he'd given the Habs the win, but the goal was disallowed. The third one tonight…
After a video review, the play was ruled offside. No goal.

Here's a recap:
Cole Caufield SAVED

Alexandre Texier SAVED
Alex DeBrincat MISS
Juraj Slafkovsky OUT

Lane Hutson SAVED
Axel Sandin-Pellikka SAVED
Zachary Bolduc GOAL. He taunted the Wings' bench afterward.

– He's playing so well this season.
Zachary Bolduc is one of the few players on the #Habs who isn't afraid to shoot the puck

– That's great.

– Haha.
Lane Hutson spent the entire offseason working on his shot so that he would never use it.
— Grant McCagg (@grantmccagg) October 11, 2026
– Almost.
Engstrom scored his first NHL goal off the end of his stick. Nice set-up by Slafkovsky.
— Nicolas Cloutier (@NCloutierTVA) October 11, 2026
– He bounced back, yes.
Slafkovsky is having a strong game.
His backhand pass in the neutral zone opened up a clear path for Hutson.
