LOS ANGELES — When the door to the coach’s room finally opened after the Canadiens’ 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings Wednesday night at the Staples Centre, it was general manager Marc Bergevin who came out first.

Bergevin looked dapper as always in a fancy blue suit and brown shoes, but it was the expression on the GM’s face that told the story on this night.

Six straight losses for the Canadiens, who are now 1-5-1 to start the season, and defeats on back-to-back nights in California while being outscored 10-3 in total following a 5-2 loss to the Sharks Tuesday in San Jose.

Bergevin’s expression looked more shocked than anything.

But it was coach Claude Julien who had to face the media to explain how his team gave up four goals in the third period against the Kings while the offence continues to fire mostly blanks with the only Canadiens goal coming from Paul Byron in the first period to open the scoring.
