Montrealare in terrible form. The team suffered four regulation-time defeats in a row. The Canadiens put up a fight against Toronto (2:3), but got crushed by Winnipeg (2:4) and the Islanders (0:3) at home. Montreal also traveled to Columbus, where they had a devastating defeat (1:5). Sam Montembeault had a disaster of a game against the Blue Jackets and saved only 83% of the shots on goal.
Washington broke their four-game winning streak and lost to Toronto (3:7) in the last game. Goalie Samsonov had a terrible performance and was substituted off in the second period after conceding four goals.
