NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) ― Tomas Kaberle got off to a fast start with the Canadiens.
Acquired in a trade with Carolina on Friday, he had two assists in his debut, leading Montreal to a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.
“I have to admit I was a little nervous at the start,” Kaberle said. “I had a new team with new teammates. I hadn’t practiced in two days. I had a long travel day. We went over some things in the hotel before the game at breakfast, but I wasn’t sure of what to expect. I just had to jump in right away and be ready. I just had to try to keep it simple.”
The Canadiens snapped a two-game losing streak.
