The Montreal Canadiens faced a tough defeat against the Las Vegas Golden Knights, losing 6-2 at the Centre Bell. A disastrous second period saw the Golden Knights score five unanswered goals, including a first career NHL goal from Callahan Burke.

Montreal's Emil Heineman and Jacob Struble managed to score in the third, but Jack Eichel sealed the game with his seventh goal of the season. The Canadiens struggled defensively, allowing five or more even-strength goals for the sixth time this season.
