Jaroslav Halak's return to Montreal could not have gone much better for him. He shutout his former teammates and his Blues left the Belle Province with a 3-0 win.
But, really, the whole contest was rather anticlimactic, wasn't it?
The Canadiens failed to even score a goal and managed only a feeble 19 shots on net, their lowest total of the season. On top of that, they missed a ridiculous amount of shots.
In total, 12 Habs shots were blocked while another 12 missed the mark entirely.
P.K Subban led the charge in that department, failing on a total of seven attempts.
It's easy to pin the grossly paid Tomas Kaberle for the man-advantage woes, but his blueline partner needs to hit the net with far more regularity if any success is to be had.

Louis' Note: I was amongst those who thought hiring Darryl Sutter would backfire, but so far the Kings have proven me wrong, going 6-1-3 in their last ten games.
