\u201c(Fowler) was tremendous,\u201d Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said. \u201cBut ideally, I would like to have to defend less. We were good when we had to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lane Hutson<\/a> and Kaiden Guhle<\/a> scored, and Cole Caufield<\/a>\u00a0had two assists for the Canadiens (6-3-2), who have points in four straight (3-0-1).<\/p>\n \u201cI think last year I got a good taste of it and I was really fortunate for this group to welcome me in,\u201d Fowler said of the 17 games he played last season. \u201cI just had a lot of belief in this group that if I can just give our team a chance, we have a lot of skill in this team and we can put a few goals in the net.\u201d<\/p>\n Isak Rosen<\/a> scored and Stuart Skinner<\/a>\u00a0made 19 saves for the Jets (4-4-3), who\u2019ve lost five straight (0-3-2).<\/p>\n \u201cI thought we started a little bit slow,\u201d Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. \u201cObviously, third period was our best period. Their goaltender was real good, some big stops. \u2026 The biggest thing for me, we didn’t have enough traffic on Fowler. We didn’t make it a little bit more difficult for him to find pucks and this is something that we\u2019ve got to make sure we do a better job at.\u201d<\/p>\n
