Bottom Six Minutes: Mike Matheson cannot be doing that

The Montreal Canadiens dominated the Nashville Predators on Thursday night. In their first true wall-to-wall impressive effort of the year, the Habs looked like they were destined for a regulation win. Until, of course, some untimely penalties, and a decidedly unimpressive penalty kill presented a bump in the road, while Juuse Saros turned in a stellar performance to keep them from filling the net at even strength. Still, they got to the late stages of the third period looking like it was thei...

Montreal picks back up where it left off, with another high-danger scoring chance from Zacha...
