Canadiens End Golden Knights' Win Streak

The Montreal Canadiens rallied to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2, ending Vegas's six-game winning streak. After trailing 2-0, the Canadiens scored three unanswered goals, including Cole Caufield's milestone 100th career goal and Kirby Dach's game-winner. Emil Heineman also contributed with a goal, showcasing Montreal's strong comeback capabilities, particularly as they had been 0-13-0 when trailing entering the third period this season. The Golden Knights, who had a stellar December with a 10-2-0 record, were stymied by Montreal's defensive efforts and failed to capitalize on promising chances. Despite Zach Whitecloud and Noah Hanifin giving Vegas an early lead, their inability to maintain pressure in the offensive zone allowed the Canadiens to fight back effectively. This victory marks Montreal's third consecutive win, while Vegas must regroup as they enter the new year.
