The clincher? A shot Emil Bemstrom put off the dasher behind Montreal’s net.
You want evidence? Three of Montreal’s four lines controlled over 60 per cent of the shot attempts. The top line of Tomas Tatar-Phillip Danault-Brendan Gallagher controlled 76 per cent of the shot attempts, and the line of Artturi Lehkonen-Jesperi Kotkaniemi-Jordan Weal was just under 50 per cent in the category.
Joel Armia had six goals in his first nine games and then none over his next nine. And Artturi Lehkonen, who had the sixth-most scoring chances on the Canadiens through the first 20 games, but came into this one with just two goals on the season. To say the timing was right for both of these players to hit the board would be understating it.
The differences are tangible. He’s not forcing plays at the offensive blue line, he’s moving his feet and avoiding taking bad penalties in the neutral zone, and he’s playing responsibly at both ends. He’s playing the percentages and earning trust. If he keeps playing this way, it bodes well for his NHL future — whether that’s in Montreal or elsewhere.
