The Montreal Canadiens, currently with a record of 8-13-3, faced a tough test on Saturday as they took on the New York Rangers. Despite Cole Caufield's two goals and Nick Suzuki's two assists, the Canadiens fell short, losing 4-3. This loss came on the heels of a recent string of four losses in their past five games, with a record of 1-3-1. Cayden Primeau put up a valiant effort, making 24 saves.

Primeau's Perspective: The Battle at Madison Square Garden

"When we come here to play the Rangers, it's always a tough battle. They give us a hard time, and we give it right back. But they're a really strong team. It's not easy to come back after a tough game yesterday against two good teams back to back. We gave it our all, but sometimes it just doesn't go our way." Primeau said.

The First Period: Bruins Take the Lead

In the first period at 11:45, McAvoy gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead. Skating through the right face-off circle, he looped around the net and scored with a wraparound. "I was looking at my angle to shoot, and I had enough speed. I thought if I could sell the move, I could wrap it around. It was a split-second decision, but it worked out." McAvoy explained.Just 10 minutes later at 12:40, Pastrnak pushed the Bruins' lead to 2-0. Finishing Pavel Zacha's pass from behind the net with a one-timer, Pastrnak showed his scoring prowess.

The Second Period: Coyle Extends the Lead

Just 15 seconds into the second period, Coyle extended the Bruins' lead to 3-0. Lifting a backhand over Primeau's stick from in front, Coyle capitalized on a scoring opportunity. "You can't give the other team an easy lead. We dug ourselves a bit of a hole, and it's tough to play catch-up hockey, especially on a back-to-back. We need to be more focused and ready from the start." Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said.

The Third Period: A Comeback Attempt

In the third period, the Canadiens showed some fight as they tried to mount a comeback. Caufield scored twice, bringing the score to 3-2 and then 4-3. But it wasn't enough to overcome the early deficit. "We fought hard, but we just couldn't find that extra goal. It's frustrating, but we'll keep working and get better." Caufield said.The Montreal Canadiens will look to bounce back from this tough loss and continue their journey in the NHL.
