from Mike Johnston of Sportsnet,

Here are nine things we learned on a busy night in the NHL.

Canadiens fall short of record start…

The Canadiens had not allowed a first-period goal all season until the Canucks buried three on Carey Price in the opening frame Tuesday as Vancouver handed Montreal its first loss of the season.

Montreal was one win away from tying the NHL record for the best start to a season that the 1993-94 Maple Leafs and 2006-07 Sabres currently hold. The Canucks had not won in regulation against the Canadiens in six years.

The Canucks put and end to the streak with a lopsided 5-1 win.

Krejci continues to light it up…

With two goals against the Arizona Coyotes, David Krejci extended his point streak to eight games and briefly took the NHL scoring lead – Jamie Benn leapfrogged him later in the night. Krejci now has 14 points in eight games and his seven goals equals his goal total from last season (he had seven goals, 31 points in 47 games in 2014-15). His career high in goals (23 in 2012), assists (51 in 2009) and points (73 in 2009) are on pace to be shattered. He’s doing it in style too.
