Montreal Canadiens Suffer Fourth Straight Loss, Fall 4-0 to Minnesota Wild

The Montreal Canadiens are struggling to break a four-game losing streak as they prepare to face the Anaheim Ducks. The Canadiens have been outscored 12-6 during this skid, with their most recent loss being a shutout against the Minnesota Wild, where they managed only eight shots in the first two periods. Key player Kaiden Guhle is out for the season due to a lacerated quadricep, forcing the team to adjust their defensive lineup. Meanwhile, the Wild are in strong form despite the absence of star winger Kirill Kaprizov, having recently secured a win against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Canadiens need to find their offensive rhythm to remain competitive in the playoff race, as they are currently two points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Their upcoming game against the Ducks is crucial for turning their fortunes around.
