Canadiens' Cole Caufield, backed by Martin St-Louis, questioned a slashing penalty in Tuesday's loss to the Wild.

According to Habs Eyes on the Prize, Josh Anderson also backed Caufield, and the call added to Montreal's ongoing complaints about penalty calls this season. Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt called the ovation for Carey Price "incredible to be a part of."
