NHL Monday: Canadiens spoil Rangers’ home opener

There are few things more awkward in an NHL game than that rare moment when a player loses a skate blade and tries to get off the ice.

It’s like watching a puppy try to run across a freshly waxed floor.

That’s about as easy as it gets for Kane. Saad would add a goal of his own later in the third period.

So far this season, Saad has three goals and five assists in 12 games and has been one of the Blackhawks’ best possession players.

Before this season Scuderi had not missed a game since 2009-10.

Something happened at the blue, but it was most certainly not interference on Kreider.

What was it? It was more like “two Montreal Candiens run into each other and then fall over.”

His goal on Monday is already his seventh of the season.
