Bottom Six Minutes: Jakub Dobeš returns to the net with confidence

Taking on Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers at home, Jakub Dobeš got his first start since being pulled during their blowout loss to Tampa Bay last Tuesday. The hope was that perhaps a bit of time off would give him a chance to reset and find his form from earlier in the season. He did precisely that, looking ...

Canadiens vs. Oilers Top Six Minutes: Habs win a battle of special teams

First period Jakub Dobeš gets the start after a couple of games for Jacob Fowler. It’s a rough start for referee Furman South as Mattias Ekholm fires a clearing attempt off the back of his knee. We have to hope he remembers which team did that to him. Josh Anderson goes in on a partial breakaway, but his backhand move doesn’t fool Calvin Pickard. Juraj Slafkovský’s tips a point shot that gives Pickard more trouble, but the goaltender still makes the save. Well so muc...

Canadiens Rumors: Goalie Acquisition Could Conclude Before Trade Deadline

The Montreal Canadiens have a real problem in net, and while the poor center depth is also something that has to be addressed, the goalie situation can cause losses, and has. Pierre LeBrun said, "The Canadiens may have to trade for a goalie before March 6th, but for now would rather hope that Montembeault finds his game and Fowler gives them a little boost." Jacob Fowler, who just turned 21 years old, was recently called up and has played in the Canadiens' last two games since the promotion. H...

Canadiens Could Trade From Position Of Strength For Center

The Montreal Canadiens desperately need a second line center if they are going to have a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup, which is the goal of a team that finally got back into the playoffs last season and made upgrades in the offseason.

That is certainly a topic of concern...for the Habs' front office, and potentially might involve trading from a position ...

Canadiens @ Rangers Top Six Minutes: Habs have to settle for a point

First period Cole Caufield cheats a bit speeding out into the neutral zone as the puck stays in the Canadiens’ end, and that opens up some space for J.T. Miller to get the puck to Braden Schneider to walk in and shoot, but Jacob Fowler makes the save. The second line comes out, and pass from Ivan Demidov to Oliver Kapanen in the slot just fails to connect. The top line has now spent both of its shifts in the defensive zone. They have had several games with that not happening t...
