Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch shared his thoughts after Edmonton’s 3-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday. Sam Montembeault made 30 saves for Montreal, recording his second shutout of the season.

Knoblauch gave credit to Montreal’s defense, which kept the Oilers to the outside and limited their chances.

[0:36] "A lot of a lot of credit to them defending, keeping us out to the outside and not getting beat." Knoblauch said.

Knoblauch said Montreal played well but he mentioned a few things the Oilers could do better. He talked about making more passes to create chances, avoid turnovers at the blue line, and more presence around the net.
