Canadiens @ Mammoth Top Six Minutes: Montreal recovers to get the win

Josh Anderson gets the first shot of the game about four minutes in by using his speed to back off the defence before cutting into the middle for a shot. The line of Florian Xhekaj, Jake Evans, and Anderson gets a hard forecheck going and forces goaltender Karel Vejmelka to pounce on the puck and get a whistle. Maybe St-Louis recognized that tha...
