In an ultra-physical rematch Wednesday at Rogers Place, the Montreal Canadiens showed their resolve with a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
“We were chasing the game, and throwing everything at the net (at the end) and made it close but it’s still a loss,” said Oilers coach Dave Tippett, after the game. “You had to fight for every patch of ice…there were times where we didn’t win enough battles so we could play in the offensive zone more.”
