Bottom Six Minutes: Who makes the Habs roster?

Splitting their two split-squad games against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night, the Montreal Canadiens have reached the end of their preseason calendar. As a team that entered the preseason without many lineup spots up for grabs, it was never likely to be a franchise-altering exercise, but there were some question marks that may have been resolved through their five games. The first question is what they’re going to do with Kirby Dach, because it doesn’t look like there is a spot for...

Canadiens’ Montembeault Leads Pre-Season Surprises with Stellar Performance

MONTREAL — Sounds that were unimaginable just months ago: Massive cheers at the Bell Centre for Chris Kreider. Of course, you knew they’d ring out at full volume as soon as the former New York Rangers villain scored his first goal with the Montreal Canadiens. And they did after Kreider parked himself outside Samuel Ersson’s crease and shovelled home a Nick Suzuki pass to open the scoring in a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators to close out the pre-season. Less predictable was how Canadiens fans ...

Canadiens vs. Senators Top Six Minutes: Habs outscore PK woes in Montreal, but not Ottawa

Bell Centre, Montreal: Canadiens vs. Senators Split squad with Ottawa, most of the big guns in MTL so once again, that is where my attention was. First period Ryan Suzuki gets to come out and take the opening face-off against his brother Nick Suzuki. We know which one of them is paying for thanksgiving dinner. Tyler Thorpe and Djibril Touré just played rock-em sock-em robots near centre ice. Very entertaining, and very not something you would want the NHL guys to be d...

2026-27 NHL team preview: Washington Capitals

LAST SEASON It was an odd 2025-26 season for the Washington Capitals, who had sky-high expectations coming off a 2024-25 campaign that saw them claim first place in the Metropolitan Division, ease through a first-round series win over the Montreal Canadiens and ultimately fall in five games in the second round to the Carolina Hurricanes. Their attempt to build upon that strong showing never really materialized last year. By New Year’s Eve, the Caps had seen a solid start fade into a slump as t...
