The game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Detroit Red Wings is currently being broadcast on RDS and RDS.ca.
SUMMARY
After upsetting the Maple Leafs in their first game of the season with a dramatic 4-3 win, the Canadiens are looking for a second win tonight in Detroit.
Martin St-Louis’ men face the Red Wings in the first of two games in 24 hours.
It’s currently 1-0 in favor of the Wings, thanks to a goal from rookie Elmer Söderblom early in the third period.
Jake Allen had shone so far, stopping Detroit’s first 36 shots, including 25 in the first 20 minutes alone.
According The Press, Allen thus equaled a team record that already belonged to him. He also stopped 25 pucks once morest Carolina last season.
It was also the Wings’ highest free throw total in nearly 12 years, on Dec. 13, 2010.

He made four appearances and played for 3:19 before leaving the game. He finally returned to the Montreal bench following four minutes of play in the middle period.
Wednesday, once morest the Leafs, Guhle had already the most used player of the two clubs for his very first game, at 22 minutes and 34 seconds.
Montreal will then head to Washington to face the Capitals on Saturday.
