Sam Montembeault backstops Canadiens to 3-0 win over Oilers
MONTREAL — Sam Montembeault stopped 30 shots as the Montreal Canadiens blanked Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 on Monday.
Brendan Gallagher, Kaiden Guhle and Jake Evans — into an empty net — scored for Montreal (7-10-2), which matched its longest win streak of the season with a second consecutive victory.
Montembeault earned his second shutout of the campaign after a 48-save showing against Toronto in the season-opener.
Calvin Pickard made 23 saves for Edmonton (9-8-2). The Oilers lost their second in a row after falling 4-3 in overtime to Toronto on Saturday.
