Anderson snaps 27-game goal drought as Canadiens hang on for 4-2 win over Kraken
MONTREAL — Josh Anderson broke a 27-game goal drought dating back to last season with an empty-netter that sealed a 4-2 Montreal Canadiens win over the Seattle Kraken on Monday night.
With Montreal up 3-2, and Seattle pressing, Anderson floated the puck from his own zone and into the Kraken’s net with 32 seconds left to light up the Bell Centre.
Sean Monahan scored twice and Tanner Pearson also had a goal for Montreal (11-11-3), which won its first game at home since Nov. 11.
Anderson wasn’t the only one to get the monkey off his back. Monahan had gone 14 games without finding the back of the net, while Pearson broke a 19-game streak.
