Canadiens Highlights: Anderson Scores Twice In Game 2 Loss
IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect The Montreal Canadiens faced the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night, looking to earn a 2-0 advantage in the Eastern Conference Final. It was a very hard-fought battle, which saw the Hurricanes outshoot the Canadiens 26-12, but in the end, Carolina emerged with a 3-2 overtime win. Let’s dive into the highlights!
Working Off As per tradition, the Hurricanes had to find their rhythm before the Canadiens decided to wake up. Thanks to an early goal from Eric Robinson, the Habs were given the adversity needed to respond in Game 2. Robinson scored via a deflected shot less than three minutes into the first period.

Fortunately for head coach Martin St-Louis, veteran Josh Anderson scored his fourth goal of the playoffs midway through the first period, via a very nice passing play that also featured Kaiden Guhle and Phillip Danault. While Montreal’s first line struggles to find consistency, it must be said their depth players have done a very good job providing offence when the team needs it most.
