Pretty cool, opening night, and the boys just played great.”Jeff Carter had a goal and assist, and Adrian Kempe and Michael Armadio also scored.“We had a lot of possession but we’re not creating high-end chances,” Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher said. “We’re too stagnant right now.

I wasn’t overthinking things and just stuck to my game.”Hart, who made 29 saves, dropped to 2-4.Veteran journeyman Mike McKenna was signed on Friday to back up Hart, who was making his sixth career start.
