The fourth line is broken. Without Travis Moen or Brandon Prust, Ryan White has been trying to do everything himself and making a ton of mistakes. They're now entering their sixth straight period without a single unblocked shot as a line, and unlike against Dallas where Carey Price bailed them out, they've allowed two goals tonight.
Josh Harding has been great, but the Canadiens have also beat him 4-5 times and either missed the net or hit the post/crossbar.
These kinds of games suck. Montreal is still holding the flow of play, but can't get a break.
Norris update:
P.K. Subban 80% Fenwick
Ryan Suter 40% Fenwick
