Canadiens confident goals will come after shutout loss to Rangers in opener
BROSSARD, Que. — The Montreal Canadiens playoff slogans are “all-in” and “opportunity awaits,” but one game into the post-season, nothing has gone in and they’re still waiting.
Despite putting 31 shots on Henrik Lundqvist in the opening game of their Eastern Conference quarter-final series against the New York Rangers, the Canadiens are still looking for their first goal.
“We’re creating chances; they’re there,” winger Alexander Radulov said Thursday. “When they give us rebounds we just have to bear down.
“We got zero goals and that’s not good, so we have to focus and get stronger.”
