MONTREAL — Cole Caufield scored the first of three unanswered second-period goals as the Montreal Canadiens defeated Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in their home opener on Saturday night.
Bedard, hockey’s most anticipated prospect since Connor McDavid, was held off the scoresheet for the first time this season. He had five shots — and many, many more attempts — and was minus-1 on the evening.
Canadiens goaltender Samuel Montembeault made 28 saves to earn a win in his first start of the season.Montreal was 0-for-3 on the power play. Chicago went 0-for-6. With the game scoreless early in the second period, Caufield danced around Chicago rookie Kevin Korchinski before hitting a rebound from his own backhand shot out of mid-air and into the net.
Johnson cut Chicago’s deficit to two 34 seconds into the third after a lucky bounce found its way onto his stick in front of the net. Bedard drew a double-minor high-sticking penalty with 21 seconds left, and defenceman Seth Jones hit a post with under 10 seconds left, but Chicago couldn’t capitalize for an eighth time with the man-advantage as time ran out.
