Montreal Canadiens feel on track despite four consecutive losses
MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens feel they’re close to hitting their stride despite losing a fourth consecutive game.
The Canadiens dropped a hard-fought 4-3 contest in overtime against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday in the first of five matchups between the two rivals this season.
Montreal is sixth in the Atlantic Division after five games this year.
“Today we got a point and we’re heading in the right direction,” said Jonathan Drouin, who scored his first goal with Montreal. “Scoring three goals is a really good sign offensively. We’re disappointed because we would have wanted two points.
