Canadiens’ Joel Armia: Buries pair of goals

Armia scored twice in Thursday’s 6-3 loss to the Jets.

Armia began the game on the fourth line, and he netted the opening tally at 13:45 of the first period. Less than four minutes later, he scored again while filling in for Josh Anderson (undisclosed) on the second line. Armia hadn’t posted a point in six games since returning from a concussion, so this was a much-needed return to the scoresheet — and against his former team, to boot. The 27-year-old has four goals, seven points and a plus-10 rating in 12 contests this year, but he’s only gotten on the scoresheet in three games.
