Martin St-Louis Issues Worrying Statement After Yesterday's Loss: Things Aren't Going Well
As you know, things aren't going well for the Montreal Canadiens this season, with the team repeatedly delivering poor performances.

Let's also remember that Montreal suffered a 6-3 defeat against Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals last night on the road.
Goalie Cayden Primeau allowed 6 goals on 34 shots.
More details to follow.
