Fowler flawless for Canadiens as Bolduc nets shootout winner against Red Wings

In a shootout victory at the Bell Centre, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Zachary Bolduc netted the decisive goal in the sixth round, leading the team to a 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings. The Canadiens, now 2-2-1, ended a three-game losing streak by securing their first home win of the season. Detroit, playing their first road game of the campaign, fell to their second consecutive loss, dropping their record to 1-3-1.

Red Wings goaltender Daniil Tarasov made 30 saves, marking his 100th career NHL appearance. Jacob Fowler also contributed to Montreal's shutout with 30 saves in his second career shutout. The Canadiens, who struggled with power-play conversions all season, went 0-for-4 on the opportunity. Officials overturned three Montreal goals, including Cole Caufield's early goal and Bolduc's second-period scorer, due to goaltender interference and offside violations. Despite the setbacks, the Canadiens look set to host the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.
