Call of the Wilde: Pittsburgh Penguins shade Montreal Canadiens in OT
Global News
Despite goals by Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield, the Montreal Canadiens fell to the Penguins in Pittsburgh Saturday on their last game before the 10-day break.
The Montreal Canadiens were in Pittsburgh, Pa., Saturday to take on the Penguins in their final game before a break for ten days.
The Canadiens have been playing tired hockey recently but did have a strong win over the New York Islanders in their last contest.
The Penguins played on Friday night, so energy-wise the advantage went to Montreal. However, in a hard-fought close game, it was the Penguins who won 3-2 in overtime.

To steal a phrase from the Dutch who invented Total Soccer, it’s Total Hockey in 2024, and the Canadiens should be thankful that they have a coach who wants to take the club into the future, and invent his own brand of it.
An example of Total Hockey was the Canadiens’ first goal. It was Cole Caufield who was high, just inside the blue line. He passed to a streaking Mike Matheson who moved down the left side low. Matheson then passed to Kaiden Guhle, another defender, who was beside the net to score.
