Fantasy Focus: Tomas Plekanec
–
The Canadiens’ Old Faithful, Tomas Plekanec, remained the ever reliable two-way centre fans have come to expect year in and year out last season. Will that be the case in 2015-16 as he approaches UFA status?

It was a mixed bag for young Alex Galchenyuk during the 2014-2015 season, as career highs were achieved nearly across the board in terms of stats, but there was a feeling that there could have been more.
It was a pretty solid showing from Montreal’s little pest, Brendan Gallagher, during the 2014-2015 season as he broke the 20-goal plateau for the first time in his career. Will he eclipse that again in 2015-16?
There’s always something to complain about, isn’t there? A 50-win season for the Canadiens, one of the most dominating goaltending performances we’ve seen by a Habs backstopper ever and a second round playoff loss many felt hard done by.
It’s that time of year again but draft day trades moves across the NHL may have taken some of the momentum out of the upcoming July 1 free agent frenzy. Here are some of the forwards who could be of interest to the Habs.
With the youth cupboards looking pretty bare on defence, the Canadiens may have a shot at a hot commodity on the backend in Czech defenceman Jakub Zboril. He could be a steal as the 26th pick by the Canadiens, should he last that long in the draft.
There will be no brooms for the Tampa Bay Lightning as the Montreal Canadiens shelled Bishop and co. 6-2 on Thursday night, forcing a fifth game at the Bell Centre.
The Tampa Bay Lightning drew first blood with a double overtime 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Friday night.
The Ottawa Senators staved off elimination, sneaking by the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 in Game 4 on Wednesday night.
What was hyped as a potentially violent Game 2 between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators was certainly physical, but in essence a clean, drama free 3-2 overtime victory for the Canadiens.
