History: Canadiens allow 3 shorthanded goals in 1 game for the 1st time
Jean-Yves Ahern-USA TODAY Sports
The Montreal Canadiens made history Saturday, but they'd rather not have.
The shorthanded-happy Ottawa Senators scored three times while down a man, something that hadn't been done against the Canadiens. Ever.
First time in #Habs history they give up 3 shorthanded goals against in a single game.

The Senators came into the game with a league-leading 12 shorthanded goals, and they're up to 15 now. Jean-Gabriel Pageau, in particular, is feasting on Montreal. He has four goals against the Canadiens this season, and three of them are shorties.
Montreal's now allowed 11 shorthanded goals, second-most in the NHL. They lost 5-0.
