NHL: (4 Monday games)
Vancouver 2 Montreal 1
The Canucks ended a 4-game losing skid and won for just the second time in their last 11 games. The (7-14-2) Canucks are 1-3 on a 5-game road trip that concludes Wednesday night in Ottawa (4:30 p.m. start PT).
So bad, it was good. Evenly-matched, equally-flawed Canucks and Canadiens combined for 40 turnovers, 53 scoring chances and 76 shots. But their desperation was equally high, which made for an entertaining game and VAN’s 1st road win since Oct. 23. https://t.co/VgGtx6Z9EO
