In a post-game interview after his team had gutted out an over-time shootout win against a powerful Colorado Avalanche squad, Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield shared his thoughts with Sportsnet’s Faizal Khamisa.

The Colorado Avalanche dug deep, fueled by some officiating-driven anger, and authored a wild, remarkable comeback two nights ago in an electric evening at Ball Arena. This was not that. The Montreal Canadiens ended Colorado’s six-game winning streak with a 2-1 shootout victory Saturday at Ball Arena.

For the first and only time this regular season, the Avalanche will host the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers. This is the second and final meeting between the teams this season, as the Avalanche won their first meeting in Sunrise 7-4 on November 23.

The Montreal Canadiens entered Saturday night's contest in the Rocky Mountains against the Colorado Avalanche having won six of their last eight games.
