"Even worse, the Canadiens fired no shots on goal in the second period entirely, which is the first time in franchise history they've accomplished that lowly feat."
"According to Josh Dubow, the last time a team had 0 shots on goal in a period during the postseason was the Penguins, who had 0 in Game 1 of 2017 Stanley Cup Final against the Nashville Predators."
"Per Jessica Brand, no prior team this century has won a game, regular season or postseason, with single-digit shots on goal. The Canadiens are literally the first to do it in the 2000s."
