The Montreal Canadiens dominated the Detroit Red Wings in a 5-1 victory, led by Mike Matheson’s goal and assist. Other goal-scorers for the Canadiens included Zachary Bolduc, Oliver Kapanen, Alexandre Carrier, and Juraj Slafkovsky. Brendan Gallagher and Nick Suzuki contributed with two assists each, while Jakub Dobes made 30 saves in goal.
On the other side, Dylan Larkin managed to score a power-play goal for the Red Wings, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Montreal’s strong performance. The Red Wings’ goalie, John Gibson, had a rough start to the season, allowing five goals on just 13 shots before being replaced by Cam Talbot late in the second period.
Gibson, who was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks in the offseason, struggled in his debut for the Red Wings. The veteran goalie will look to bounce back in the upcoming games and prove his worth to his new team.
