Canadiens frustrated after outplaying Predators in loss: ‘We deserved better’
Montreal Canadiens dominated the Nashville Predators in nearly every category during a 5-2 loss on Thursday night. Ryan O’Reilly scored the go-ahead goal with 3:16 remaining, but the Predators rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win. Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis admitted the team deserved better, stating that it was their best game of the season on the power play.
Nashville's Juuse Saros made 32 saves, earning first-star honors. The Canadiens were outshot 34-20 and struggled with discipline, resulting in a second-period lull and a late penalty.
