Sick Puck Links: Canadiens Choke; Larkin Update; NHL Trade Rumors

The Sick Podcast breaks down Montreal’s 5‑4 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets, labeling it one of the franchise’s biggest choke performances and citing complacency and inexperience. The show also updates on forward Ivan Demidov’s injury status and dives into swirling trade rumors, including Detroit’s Dylan Larkin possibly moving to Boston or Montreal, and talks about San Jose’s interest in Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson. Additional buzz covers Nikita Kucherov’s impact on the trade market, the Flyers as a rumor hub, and a note on the Canadian Prime Minister’s ban on Russian juniors for the 2027 World Juniors, plus a tribute to Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla.

Canadiens Sick Postgame: Habs Suffer Historic Loss; Lose 5-4 To Jets

The Winnipeg Jets erased a 4‑0 deficit in the final 2:39 of regulation to beat the Montreal Canadiens 5‑4 in overtime on Nov. 4, 2026 – the fastest four‑goal comeback in NHL history. Rookie defenseman Tyrel Bauer opened the rally, followed by Morgan Barron, then Kyle Connor scored twice in 27 seconds to force OT, where Dylan Samberg netted the winner. The win snapped Winnipeg’s nine‑game skid and ended Montreal’s five‑game streak. Cole Caufield’s two power‑play goals highlighted the Habs’ early lead, but goaltender Jacob Fowler faltered late. Stars of the night: Connor (2 G, 8 S), Caufield (2 G), and Bauer (1 G, 1 A, fight).

NHL Source: Bruins And Canadiens Bidding For Dylan Larkin

The Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens are both intensifying their pursuit of Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, according to multiple NHL sources. While Montreal’s interest has long been rumored, a Sick Media source says the Bruins are now “pushing harder,” though Detroit demands James Hagens—something the Bruins aren’t willing to part with. TSN’s Darren Dreger confirmed both clubs are eager to trade for Larkin, with the Bruins possibly tossing forward Pavel Zacha, prospect Mason Lohrei, or a first‑round pick. Montreal’s rumored offer centers on top prospect Michael Hage, but sources say the Canadiens are not moving that asset.

Sick Puck Links: Suzuki Back; Kucherov Fallout; NHL Trade Rumors

The Sick Podcast breaks down the latest NHL buzz: Montreal’s surge continues as Nick Suzuki returns and rookie goalie Jacob Fowler earns Calder Trophy chatter.

The episode also touches on the Winnipeg Jets’ struggles versus Montreal, possible coaching fallout for Scott Arniel, Maple Leafs reuniting Auston Matthews with Easton Cowan, and trade rumors involving Roman Josi, Beckett Sennecke, and more. Stay tuned for expert picks and insider perspectives on these developing stories.

Nick Suzuki Practices With Team In Full Contact Jersey

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki returns to full‑contact practice on Nov. 2, skating with linemates Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky for the first time since his upper‑body injury on Oct. 20 (a blocked shot in a 4‑3 OT loss to the San Jose Sharks). The roster featured forwards Caufield‑Suzuki‑Slafkovsky, Kreider‑Evans‑Anderson, and defense pairings Hutson‑Dobson and Carrier‑Guhle, with rookie goalie Jacob Fowler still posting strong numbers as the Habs sit 5‑0‑0 without Suzuki. He could be ready to play sooner than the projected two‑to‑four‑week recovery, possibly suiting up for Tuesday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Jacob Fowler Named Rookie Of The Month; Wins October Molson Cup

He posts a 7‑1 record, .932 save percentage (second best among qualified goalies) and 1.84 GAA (fifth in the league), recording two shutouts and three first‑star honors in October. At 21, Fowler ties Jake Oettinger for most goals saved above expected, sparking early Calder and Vezina Trophy chatter. Called up after Samuel Montembeault’s injury, Fowler’s rise contrasts sharply with struggling backup Jakub Dobes.

NHL Trade Report: Nikita Kucherov ‘Would Consider’ A Trade To The Canadiens

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reveals that Tampa Bay star Nikita Kucherov, who has a ten‑team trade list, would consider a move to Montreal or Toronto if presented with a suitable package. Friedman broke the news that Kucherov told Lightning GM Julien Brisebois he won’t extend his contract and wants a trade, though the Lightning publicly deny any intention to move him. Agent Dan Milstein stays silent but hints at Kucherov’s disappointment after becoming the franchise’s all‑time point leader. The 33‑year‑old winger, in the final year of a $76 million deal, is reportedly seeking a contract on the level of Kirill Kaprizov’s $136 million pact.
