New York had five shots on goal before forward Evgenii Dadonov got Montreal's first at 16:52 of the first period. "They played hard, and the two points were earned." "We don't have a ton of confidence right now, and when you let you one up or two [goals] up, it's strained," Canadiens forward Jake Evans said.
