Canadiens sing the Blues after 'one of our worst starts to a period'

This edition of the Hidden Game is dedicated to Zachary Bolduc, Alexandre Texier and Logan Mailloux, all of whom were facing their former teams Sunday night at the Bell Centre.

Certainly they all had something to prove and would play with intensity and passion. No?

Bolduc, who came to the Canadiens in a July 1 trade from St. Louis for Mailloux , had an assist in Montreal’s 4-3 loss. And while he was a plus-1, he failed to generate a shot.

Mailloux, a former first-round draft choice, had a shot, two hits and a pair of blocks along with a giveaway. After nearly putting the puck into his own net in the third period, he was on the receiving end of a deflected shot to the face, suffering a cut to his chin. He was leaking oil fairly badly before receiving attention on the Blues’ bench.
