"Montreal Canadiens Struggle to Find Scoring Groove in NHL Playoffs. Despite a valiant effort, the Canadiens fell to the Carolina Hurricanes for the second consecutive game, this time in a 3-2 overtime thriller in Game 3. The team's inability to break through on offense is becoming a growing concern, with a total of just 25 shots on net over the past two games. As the series shifts to Montreal, the Canadiens will be looking to find a way to spark their offense and get back in the mix against a Hurricanes team that's looking to take control of the series."


Two days after managing just 12 shots on net in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2, Montreal had 13 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss in Game 3.
