No. 1 draft pick Nico Hischier scores in New Jersey’s 4-1 win over Montreal
MONTREAL — Canadiens coach Claude Julien says making cuts throughout training camp haven’t been as difficult as he expected.
Julien was left unimpressed by several of his young players after Montreal’s 4-1 pre-season defeat at the hands of the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.
Montreal has lost all three of its exhibition games so far.
“Right now there are players who are making our decisions much easier than we thought they would,” said Julien. “That’s obvious enough, without naming any names. We were expecting some harder decisions.”
