Special tribute to France at Bell Centre

MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens honoured the victims of this week’s terrorist shootings in Paris by playing the French national anthem prior to their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

The French flag was shown waving on the scoreboard at Bell Centre as the Canadiens played La Marseillaise before the American and Canadian national anthems.

The Penguins beat the Canadiens 2-1, thanks to an overtime goal by Sidney Crosby.
