Hidden Game: Canadiens mount comeback but fall in overtime to Oilers

We dedicate this edition of the Hidden game to the Canadiens’ Trevor Letowski and Edmonton’s Kris Knoblauch — two guys who weren’t NHL head coaches when the season began.

Letowski, of course, was on Montreal’s staff as an assistant and assumed the interim head coach portfolio after Martin St. Louis took an indefinite leave of absence last Saturday to tend to a family matter in Connecticut. Knoblauch, meanwhile, replaced the fired Jay Woodcroft last Nov. 12 after coaching Hartford, the New York Rangers’ AHL affiliate, the last four seasons.
