In a thrilling matchup on Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens triumphed over the Vegas Golden Knights with a score of 3-2, effectively halting the Golden Knights' impressive six-game winning streak. The Canadiens showcased resilience by rallying from a 2-0 deficit late in the second period, scoring three unanswered goals to secure their sixth victory in the last seven games.

Kirby Dach was the hero of the night, netting the decisive goal midway through the third period. Cole Caufield and Emil Heineman also contributed to the scoreline, while goaltender Sam Montembeault was instrumental in the win, stopping 27 shots and making crucial saves in the dying moments of the game. Despite Jake Evans having his five-game goal streak come to an end, the Canadiens maintained pressure throughout the game, preventing the Golden Knights from establishing a strong offensive rhythm.

For the Golden Knights, Zach Whitecloud and Noah Hanifin found the net, and Adin Hill made 19 saves. This loss marked only the second defeat for Vegas this month, having previously achieved a remarkable 10-2 record in December. The game turned pivotal when the Golden Knights, leading by two goals and with a power play opportunity, failed to capitalize, allowing Montreal to stay within reach and eventually take control of the match.

Notably, Cole Caufield's goal was a milestone, marking the 100th of his career. Looking ahead, the Canadiens are set to visit Chicago on Friday, while the Golden Knights will host Philadelphia on Thursday.
