The Habs were outgunned and outshot in the first of two games in Alberta this week making for a tough night in Edmonton for Antti Niemi and your Montreal Canadiens as Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl lead the Oilers past the Canadiens.

Max Pacioretty made his return to the Bell Centre on Saturday night but it would be the man acquired in the Patches trade – Tomas Tatar – who got to play the hero in yet another exciting back-and-forth contest for your resilient Montreal Canadiens in the 5-4 win.
