Although the game ended in the Montreal Canadiens’ favor, the Nashville Predators left the Bell Center with a 2-1 win on Sunday night.

The Habs are now 0-5-0 in their second game in two nights this season.

After a 4-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Predators got off to a bright start in the game. Midway through the first period, they took advantage of a numerical advantage to score first thanks to Colton Sissons, who blocked Filip Forsberg’s shot from the blue line.

Sissons repeated that by giving his team a 2-0 lead with 7:03 left in the second half. The Nashville forward was left alone in front of Jake Allen’s goal and used a shot back to rattle the strings.

We had to wait until the end of the second period to see how Martin St. Louis’ men got into the game. Just moments after a Joel Armia goal was disallowed due to an interference by Brendan Gallagher on Juusi Saros, Jake Evans showed the red light with 35 seconds left in the second period to halve the gap.

Despite numerous chances in the third period, CH was unable to equalize and the game went into overtime. The Habs clearly dominated the last game with 14 to 5 shots on goal.

The Canadian threw 37 times throughout the game, compared to 31 for his opponents on the night.

Jake Allen, who has been struggling for several weeks, faltered twice. Saros was almost perfect and only allowed Montreal one goal.

The Bleu-Blanc-Rouge will receive a visit from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.
