In a solid display, Michael Pezzetta led the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils, marking their second consecutive shutout in the NHL preseason. Pezzetta recorded two goals, while Nick Suzuki contributed a goal and William Trudeau provided two assists.

Samuel Montembeault made a strong case for his role as the starting goalie, stopping 11 shots, and Connor Hughes took care of the rest. New Jersey's Jake Allen faced challenges against his former team, managing to block 12 of 13 shots.
