The game between the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers will take place at Bell Centre on Saturday, January 5 at 7:00 PM ET.
The Montreal Canadiens will welcome the New York Rangers to Bell Centre for an NHL game on Saturday. The Canadiens lost 6-3 against the Predators in their last game. Cole Caufield, Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher scored and Sam Montembeault stopped 28 shots for the slumping Canadiens, who have lost six straight and nine of 10.
Montreal has allowed 22 goals in the last three games. “We shot ourselves in the foot early,” coach Martin St. Louis said. “We can’t kill a penalty right now to save our life. We’ve got to get better in that department. And I think you end up chasing the game all the time.”
The Rangers on the other hand won 5-3 against the Hurricanes in their last game. Artemi Panarin, K’Andre Miller and Filip Chytil scored third-period goals as the New York Rangers rallied to beat Carolina 5-3 on Tuesday night, snapping the Hurricanes’ 11-game winning streak.
Jacob Trouba and Mika Zibanejad also scored for the Rangers, who are 10-2-1 in their last 13 games. Igor Shesterkin made 20 saves in the first meeting between the teams since New York eliminated Carolina in seven games during a second-round playoff series last May. “It’s a big win for us,” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. ”We had some fortunate breaks tonight. They are a tough team to play against.”
