MONTREAL – The Canadiens won’t be dwelling on their 3-0 loss to the Predators, but they won’t be forgetting it, either. Despite firing 30 shots on Nashville goaltender Pekke Rinne in the outing, the Habs weren’t able to solve the 28-year-old Finn on Thursday night. But it wasn’t just scoring the guys felt they were lacking against the Preds.
