Canadiens End Five-Game Skid with 4-3 Victory Over Sharks

The Montreal Canadiens ended a five-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks, thanks to a short-handed tiebreaking goal by Joel Armia late in the third period. Armia's goal, his tenth of the season, came on a two-on-one break with Jake Evans. Alex Newhook contributed a goal and an assist, while Cole Caufield and Brendan Gallagher also found the net for Montreal. The Sharks had a strong performance from Tyler Toffoli and Macklin Celebrini, both scoring and assisting, but ultimately fell short. San Jose has now lost 11 of their last 13 games, continuing a rough stretch. The Canadiens aim to build on this win as they prepare for their next game against Los Angeles.
