Canadiens hold off the Jets 2-1 outdoors in the NHL Heritage Classic
WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Jacob Fowler made 33 saves and the Montreal Canadiens held off the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 on Sunday night in the NHL Heritage Classic at Princess Auto Stadium.
Lane Hutson and Kaiden Guhle scored and Cole Caufield had two assists to help Montreal improve to 6-3-2. The Canadiens opened a four-game trip Friday night with a 4-1 victory over Chicago. Fowler has won his last five starts.
Isak Rosen scored for Winnipeg with 4:46 remaining at home of the Canadian Football League's Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Stuart Skinner stopped 19 shots for the Jets (4-4-3).
The Jets became just the second Canadian team after Edmonton to host two outdoor games. The Jets also were blanked 3-0 by the Oilers in the first one, but spoiled Calgarys 2019 outdoor game at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan, with a 2-1 overtime win.
It was Winnipegs first game since trading franchise goalier Connor Hellebuyck to the New Jersey Devils on Friday. Dawson Mercer , who headlined the return from the Devils, had two shots and one blocked shot in 15:22 of ice time.
Canadiens: At St. Louis on Tuesday night.
Jets: Host Florida on Tuesday night.
