After wrapping up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were back at the Bell Centre to host one of the top teams in the league, the Minnesota Wild. With the visitors playing the second half of a back-to-back, the Habs were in full control of the game at five-on-five, and ultimately took a 4-3 win in regulation thanks to a thrilling Cole Caufield goal with 15 seconds left on the clock. It was a thrilling way for the home crowd to celebrate a win, notwithstanding the strange nature of ...

First period The crowd picks up where it left of at the end of the last homestand, with a loud “Go Habs Go!” chant. Each line played its first shift in Minnesota’s zone. Ivan Demidov worked himself into the best chance of the opening minutes, but passed off from a prime scoring area. He needs to be a little more selfish. It looks like Montreal’s legs work again. Kirill Kaprizov passes the puck from behind Montreal’s net right to Juraj Slafkovský, and he sends his linemate...

It’s no secret that the Montreal Canadiens have had penalty issues this season. After going through the Canadiens’ penalties drawn and taken this season , we found that there are some areas that appear to be significant outliers compared to the expectations we have about how NHL games are officiated. About a month has passed, and I’ve scraped together enough time over the holidays and in the new year to track every game for each Atlantic Division team up to January 14th in the same way I ...

Laine practiced with teammates for the first time on Friday, but there really isn't a spot for him in the lineup when he's ready to return. Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette says the pending UFA will be on his last legs with the...

To finish up a three-game road trip, the Montreal Canadiens were in Ottawa for hockey day in Canada. Their last game against the Senators was certainly less than ideal, and this one was unfortunately no different. This time, however, the Habs had some magic up their sleeves. After a decent first period, albeit one where the Habs could only do damage with their power play, they went to the room with a two-goal lead. What followed was an atrocious second period in which they mustered a palt...

First period Jacob Fowler is called upon to make a save on a cross-crease pass just seconds into the game. Montreal is just trying to survive the early push from the Sabres with a couple of icings. Other than that initial chance, nothing has tested Fowler so far. The Sabres don’t give up much this season, but they just got too aggressive on their offensive-zone pinches and allowed a two-on-one for Cole Caufield and Alexandre Texier. Caufield kept the puck to get a shot himself...
