Canadiens' Justin Barron: Closes gap late
Barron scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots, delivered two hits and had a two-minute penalty over 22:12 of ice time in Thursday's 6-5 loss to Vegas.

He was positioned in the high slot, stick cocked and ready to fire, and finished a feed from Cole Caufield. The fact he was on the ice in that situation is a telling sign that Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis believes in the offensive potential Barron showed last season (15 points, 39 games).
