Jordan Harris scores twice to help Canadiens beat Oilers for consecutive home wins

In front of friends and family, Jordan Harris recorded his first career two-goal game. It was special feeling to cap off a special weekend for the Montreal Canadiens, particularly their defencemen.

After beating the New York Islanders 4-3 in the first of back-to-back matinee games, Montreal capped off the weekend with a convincing 6-2 victory over the visiting Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.

With Mike Matheson and Justin Barron adding goals on Saturday, Montreal's defencemen scored four of the 10 total goals over the past two games. Harris said it comes down to the ability of Montreal's blue line to play a complete game.

"The D-men are hot right now, hopefully we can keep it up," Harris said. "But I feel like it really starts with us defending. I feel like we've done a good job defending and jumping up on the rush and I feel like a lot of our D-men have those skill-sets to make plays offensively."

Alex Belzile, Josh Anderson, Rafael Harvey-Pinard and Christian Dvorak added goals for Montreal (22-27-4). Evgenii Dadonov and Jonathan Drouin each recorded two assists.

Jake Allen made 30 saves.

At 31 years and 165-days old, Belzile became the oldest Hab to score his first NHL goal since Hockey Hall of Famer Herb Gardiner in 1926. Belzile also became the seventh-oldest player in league history to open his account.

"It's not only the result, it's how we won that's important," said Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis. "We keep trying to build, there's a lot of engagement and a big buy-in from the guys to keep playing together offensively and defensively. The break helped us but I think it's a progression."
