The Montreal Canadiens fell short again, losing 4-2 to the Washington Capitals, marking their inability to secure three consecutive victories this season.

Despite a strong start with goals from Alex Newhook and Cole Caufield, the Canadiens couldn't maintain their lead. Tom Wilson's two goals helped the Capitals complete a comeback, showcasing their resilience on the road.

Montreal's missed opportunities, particularly during breakaways, ultimately cost them the game, as they struggled to convert chances against Capitals goalie Logan Thompson.
