Overview
- Utah led 2-1 before conceding five straight, with Lawson Crouse saying the game "snowballed" and urging a quick reset.
- Cole Caufield scored twice, Oliver Kapanen and Alex Newhook each had a goal and an assist, and Sam Montembeault made 25 saves as Montreal pushed its point streak to six games.
- Coach André Tourigny said the result did not reflect Utah’s play, pointing to the Canadiens’ opportunism at key moments.
- Lineup and role changes — swapping Logan Cooley and Barrett Hayton and adding Kevin Stenlund to the power play — did not spark offense or improve faceoffs.
- Utah’s slump features single-period collapses and a 0-for-12 power-play run over its last five games, with the road trip ending Sunday in Ottawa.
