The Montreal Canadiens faced a tough loss against the Utah Hockey Club, ending 3-2 in overtime, with a notably low shot count of just 13.

Head coach Martin St. Louis expressed concern over the team's offensive execution, despite a strong defensive effort. Montreal's penalties disrupted their rhythm, leading to missed opportunities.

Positive news for the Canadiens includes the potential return of defenceman Mike Matheson and forward Patrik Laine on their upcoming road trip.
