Montreal Canadiens Summary

The Montreal Canadiens faced the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night, falling 4-3 in a closely contested match. Cutter Gauthier scored the decisive goal with just 2:30 left in the game, breaking a tie and securing the victory for the Ducks.

The Canadiens had a tough night as Kirby Dach exited the game early due to an upper-body injury from a hit by Jeffrey Viel in the first period. Nick Suzuki contributed a goal and an assist for Montreal, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Ducks, who were led by Leo Carlsson's two goals and Troy Terry's three points.

Additionally, Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson made history by recording his 118th assist in just 150 career games, setting a new record for NHL defensemen. Brendan Gallagher made his return to the lineup after being scratched in the previous game, adding experience to the Canadiens roster.
