6th minute to last 74: Romanov tops for poor performance

A look back at the team's loss in Columbus. #BottomSix #Minutes74 #Romanov #bestclass Alexander Romanoff was one of the only bright spots in the Montreal Canadiens' 5-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday night. Ryan Poehling scored the team's only goal, and Samuel Montembeault did his best to keep the final score in check. The loss leaves the Canadiens 31st in the NHL, behind the Arizona Coyotes and second only to the Seattle Krakens with eight games remaining in the 2021-22 season. In the absence of Matt Drake, the office and its inconsistencies were again the subject of the bottom six minutes.
