Vegas bridged the gap in the second period with goals from Pietrangelo, Jonathan Marchessault and Dylan Coghlan. “We outshot them by a ton, the goalie made some good saves and it could have been a different game.”

“I know the way we can play, I believe in all the guys to get out of this,” Suzuki said. Montreal dropped to 3-10-0 on the season. Canadiens netminder Jake Allen saved 13 of the 16 shots sent his way. Suzuki picked up one goal and one assist for the Canadiens.

I think that nine times out of 10, we would get the win.” “With the scoring chances at 23-7, I would take that every night. All in all, they took advantage of their chances and I think that we deserved better. “They took advantage of the play that deflected on (Jeff) Petry but this happens. “We started the (second period) and we still had some chances,” Ducharme said. With how his team showed up in the first period, Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme was adamant that his team should have gotten more from the game. Leaders, the coach, everyone said it's enough and I think after the two-on-one that they had, I think we played excellent for the rest of the game.' 'We stepped up in the locker room (in the first intermission). “Obviously we weren't happy with how we came out,” Lehner said. But I think we’ve got to get to our game early, we can't rely on him every single first period.” “So when there's a storm for us, he lets us get to our game. “He's been outstanding all year, tonight's another example of it,” said Alex Pietrangelo of Lehner. Vegas goaltender Robin Lehner allowed two first-period goals but was perfect afterward, blocking 36 of 38 shots total. “Thankfully our goalie was our best player early and we got a lot of character in that room and the guys fixed it.” “Tonight was not just a poor start, that was a horrendous start,” said Vegas head coach Peter DeBoer. Outshot 20-1 in the first period, Vegas was down 2-0 to the Canadiens on goals from Nick Suzuki and Tyler Toffoli.
