Canadiens take on the Predators following shootout win
The Montreal Canadiens host the Nashville Predators after the Canadiens defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in a shootoutDECEMBER 10, 2023•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kevin Lankinen - No help from his teammatesLankinen made 33 saves Saturday in a 4-0 loss to Toronto.
ImpactHe allowed three goals. Auston Matthews was Lankinen's kryptonite Saturday. Matthews jammed in a shot at the left post on a beauty pass from William Nylander. And then he fired one through Lankinen's wickets on the power play. Lankinen doesn't get many starts behind the workhorse Juuse Saros, but he generally battles when he's in the blue paint. And that gives you a chance for a win... that is, if his mates give him some goals.

He's on a four-game, five-point streak right now that includes four assists and 18 shots. Nylander continues to flirt with the NHL's top-10 scoring list (he's 12th), and he's tied for ninth overall in points-per-game-played (1.33).
