Story summary

On Saturday night, Zachary Bolduc scored the only goal in the shootout's sixth round as the Montreal Canadiens narrowly defeated the Detroit Red Wings by a score of 1-0. Jacob Fowler made 30 saves for the Canadiens to secure his second career shutout. The game was marked by several controversial calls, including disallowing goals from Cole Caufield and Bolduc himself due to goaltender interference and offside penalties. Fowler had been recalled from the Laval Rocket after Samuel Montembeault suffered a lower-body injury that will sideline him for 10 to 14 days. The victory ended Montreal's three-game losing streak, improving their record to 2-2-1. Meanwhile, Detroit dropped its second consecutive game, falling to 1-3-1 after a tough loss to the Seattle Kraken on Friday night.
