With the Detroit Red Wings winning earlier today there is no chance for the Montreal Canadiens to occupy the top spot in the Atlantic Division today, and maybe that’s a good thing given how they’ve played the last couple of times that they’ve had that opportunity. Wh...

The Flyers had a difficult week, not due to the caliber of their competition, but because of how the games ultimately played out. Things started well with a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, thanks in part to another quality start from Dan Vladar, which put the Flyers on a five-game point streak. However, the positivity quickly disappeared as the team blew back-to-back games that felt firmly in their control.
Ironically, their first loss of the week came off one of the best starts ...

With the Habs about to play two games on the road before their holiday break, and the injury to Jake Evans in last night’s game against the Penguins, they’ve called again for reinforcements from Laval.

For their final home game of the 2025 calendar year, the Montreal Canadiens hosted Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Looking to build on a strong performance in their last outing against the Pens, the Habs turned to rookie Jacob Fowler to backstop them again. He responded with the best performance of his young career, stopping all 31 saves he faced for his first career shutout in a 4-0 win.
Fowler’s brilliant performance drew a standing ovation from the fans after the game, but l...

On the heels of a disappointing performance against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Montreal Canadiens were back on home ice for a Thursday night tilt with the Chicago Blackhawks. With the visitors missing their best player in Connor Bedard, the Habs found themselves with an excellent opportunity to get a win in their own building, which hasn’t been the easiest place for them to do that. Beating Chicago with the exact score they lost by two nights prior, they got a much-needed boost of confidence...

First period
The crowd is behind the team early trying to inspire a good start.
The Habs look eager to give them one. Hopefully not too eager because that’s often when the problems start.
Ivan Demidov pulls the puck past his defender to get in on net, but is pushed down before he can get a good backhand off. Moments later a ping rings throughout the Bell Centre as Josh Anderson tips Adam Engström’s point shot off the post.
Cole Caufield picks up the puck behind the net, w...

It took 4:07 for this game to have a shot on net credited. The shot came from Alex Vlasic — and it went in. But, after review, it was ruled there was goaltender interference (which took the shot on net and the goal off the board). At that point, we got just the second faceoff in the game. The Blackhawks did score first, but the Habs were able to answer seven minutes later. The Blackhawks were officially out-shot 7-2 in the first but were tied 1-1 after 20 minutes.
The second period saw th...

The Habs are under .500 on home ice and have won only four of their last ten games (4-5-1). The Blackhawks need to dust off the last game and move forward. And they need to find a way to score a third goal without Connor Bedard .
