The Jets jumped to a five to one lead in shots by the first commercial break seven minutes in on net on the strength of six shot attempts to just one for the Canadiens.
The Habs were having a hard time getting anything going. This is their third game in four nights, a feat they’ve already undergone once this being their fourth game since Monday.
The Canadiens could only muster four shots in the first period on nine shot attempts. The Jets, meanwhile only had eight shots on net. This is definitely not a clash of the titans.
Brendan Gallagher suffered a lower body injury in the first period and won’t return to the game.
