Call of the Wilde: A much-needed comeback win for the Montreal Canadiens in Los Angeles - Montreal | Globalnews.ca The Montreal Canadiens staged a late-game comeback Saturday to beat the Los Angeles Kings, 4-2. But as wins go, this one was nothing to brag about.

Canadiens' chase to Olympic break proves readiness for playoff push If we're to take anything from the way the Canadiens played in the lead-up to the Olympic break, it's that they'll be ready for the real fun when NHL hockey resumes.

The Canadiens sputtered and choked on their way to the 4 Nations break a year ago, but they just charged through some of the best teams in the NHL to get to this break because, as Martin St. Louis said, they're "not the same team."
