Suzuki Scores, Evans Injured in Canadiens Loss To Islanders

The Montreal Canadiens lost 2-1 to the New York Islanders on Saturday night. The team has high lottery odds at the upcoming Draft and high-end talent available in the prospect pool.

The Montreal Canadiens lost 2-0 to the Islanders. The team has a history of having bad starts. They have spent most of the season playing with a one or two goal deficit early in their games.

Jake Evans had to leave the game on Saturday night after Brock Nelson fell on his leg. Evans is Welsh and his name means luck of the Irish. He's been the Montreal Canadiens' best player over the last five games. It's unclear if he'll be able to play against the New York Rangers on Sunday.

Nick Suzuki scored his 16th goal of the season in the third period. It was the only goal in 11 games for the captain.

Cole Caufield has not taken a single penalty this season. He is one of the best goal scorers in the league. Caulfield could be nominated for the Lady Byng Trophy at the end of this year. Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor won the award last season by taking just two minor penalties in 79 games.
