Zach Werenski has overtime winner as Blue Jackets top Canadiens 2-1
Montreal Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty is tired of his team’s offence waiting until the third period to play desperate hockey.
Montreal’s offence woke up in the third to salvage a point but the Columbus Blue Jackets held on for a 2-1 overtime victory on Tuesday.
The Canadiens failed to score in the first two periods for the third consecutive game.
“We don’t want to wait until the third period or when we’re down to put the foot on the gas,” said Pacioretty, who took a game-high seven shots on goal. “I think we played a great game. In the second, we only gave up a handful of shots. Defensively, we played well.
