The Habs saw what a top team in the league looks like on Thursday night. They were dominated by the Panthers for most of the game, but an excellent performance by Jake Allen kept the game a little closer than it likely should have been as Montreal eventually lost but only by a 4-3 margin.

In a game that was wildly entertaining on Thursday, the Habs welcomed back some veterans as Jake Allen and Christian Dvorak returned to the lineup. They briefly had the lead but ultimately came away with yet another overtime loss in this game that featured many momentum swings and an overall fun pace as Dallas skated away with the 4-3 win.

Sunday’s game in Philadelphia was sloppy as both teams had played the night before and it showed as execution was sorely lacking on both sides.

Finally, they scored in the final minute which led to an overtime rocket from Caufield that saw the Montreal skate away with a 4-3 victory.

Nick Suzuki played on a whole other level on Thursday night as he led the Habs to an entertaining game that resulted in a 5-4 overtime win over the Calgary Flames, the hottest team in the league.
