Toronto 5 - Montreal 1

The Montreal Canadiens have lost another pre-season game this time 5-1.

Head coach Guy Carbonneau said that he will reduce his lineup this weekend as at least 15 players are still to cut. He also said that he`s a bit disappointed about the veteran players collective effort and is looking for more the very next game.

Nothing exciting came from the Ribeiro-Samsonov-Kovalev line yet, and the team will be in trouble if they don`t find a way to score goals on a regular basis.

Only 4 more pre-season games are to be played for Montreal, they need to pick up their intensity and cohesion or the start of the season will be a difficult one.
