Alex Newhook starts Habs career with two goals in shootout loss
St. John’s native Alex Newhook got on the scoresheet quickly in his first game with the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday night.
Newhook scored two goals in a back-and-forth affair against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. The Leafs won the season opener 6-5 in a shootout.
Newhook was traded to Montreal in the offseason after notching 30 points last year with the Colorado Avalanche, with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 2022.
