NHL roundup: Canadiens suffer seventh straight loss
The Caps clung to a one-goal lead throughout the third until there was less than six minutes remaining and Tom Wilson scored a goal-scorer's goal to give Washington some insurance.
"You've got to be able to play four lines, you've got to be able to play six defensemen and you've got to be able to play both your goaltenders", Vigneault told reporters after Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Canadiens had their season-high winless streak extended on Saturday afternoon with a 4-3 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Jakub Voracek led the Flyers with three assists, while Sean Couturier, Scott Laughton, and Matt Niskanen also enjoyed multi-point games.
Alex Ovechkin recorded the 24th hat trick of his National Hockey League career, Evgeny Kuznetsov had a trio of assists and Ilya Samsonov made 25 saves as the Caps opened a four-game road trip with a 5-2 win over the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday night.
Tomas Tatar scored twice and Joel Armia added another for Montreal.

A new storm in California was also expected to bring rain, gusty winds and several feet of mountain snow during the weekend. However, it is the tail end of the storm that may bring a foot of snow to part of the region from Sunday night to Monday .
RANGERS 4, DEVILS 0: Alexandar Georgiev stopped 33 shots for his third career shutout, leading surging NY to a win at short-handed New Jersey. Montreal goalie Carey Price took the loss in net against New Jersey as he allowed 5 goals on 34 of the Devils shots.
The Canadiens are 0-4-3 in the streak and face a formidable task Sunday as they play the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins. Montreal is led in goals by Brendan Gallagher who has scored 10 on the year. Goalie Carey Price is now 10-8-3, with a shutout on the season and has a goals against average of 3.19. Kinkaid stopped 25 shots. Montreal enters their game against Philadelphia with just 1 player listed on their injury report as Noah Juulsen is listed as day to day.
"I'll be honest with you, I got lucky", says Ovechkin of the only goal he scored against a goalie on this night. The middle frame looked much more like what we expected from a game in which a first-place time was playing an injury-depleted last-place team. Montreal has played horribly as of late and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Philadelphia take advantage of the Canadiens struggles.
Ivan Provorov got Philadelphia another win with one impressive move. Provorov now has seven regular-season game-winners in his career, which are the most by a Flyers d-man aged 22 or younger.
