Drouin scores deciding goal as Canadiens hold off Flames in 3-2 win
MONTREAL — Flames goalie David Rittich did everything he could to keep Calgary in the game for the second straight outing, but he fell just short against the Montreal Canadiens.
After a 44-save performance against the Rangers his last time out, Rittich made 37 saves as the Flames dropped a 3-2 contest to the Canadiens on Tuesday night.
The Czech goalie was by far Calgary’s best player, keeping the score close while his teammates failed to generate enough offence.
“He’s not God out there,” said Matthew Tkachuk of his goalie. “He can’t stop everything. At one point they’re just going to go in. They keep getting these chances. Eventually it’s going to go in.
