Canadiens Hockey | The Canadian flees from New York with the victory — 98.5 Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens caused a surprise by beating the Rangers in New York on Sunday. Less than 19 hours after suffering a 2-1 loss to the Islanders and losing the services of Jake Evans, the Habs are now up against a powerful team at Madison Square Garden.

Gerard Gallant’s team hadn’t lost in regulation in their last nine games and had only two overtime losses.

However, the New Yorkers were without Chris Kreider, who scored 19 goals this season.

For its part, the Habs were able to count on the return of forwards Michael Pezzetta and Mike Hoffman. They took the places of Jake Evans and Chris Wideman.

Samuel Montembeault resumed his place between the posts of the Canadian for a third consecutive game.

The Rangers had also beaten the CH by a score of 4-1 on January 5 at the Bell Center.
