Lukas Dostal took the loss for the Ducks on what was a busy night for him. He had this to say after the game, “It wasn’t the easiest night, but obviously as a goaltender, you’ve got to be prepared for everything,”.
Cayden Primeau picked up his fifth win of the season for Montreal in the shutout earning him third star of the game.
Cam Fowler commented on Montreal being hungry for a win after giving up seven goals to St. Louis just a few days prior.
The Ducks failed to stop the young and fast Canadiens. They will turn their focus to Ottawa.
