Montreal heads into Washington tonight after losing their first game of the New Year versus the Buffalo Sabres.
Both the Habs and Bulldogs continued their winning ways this week as each team only lost one game.
The Montreal Canadiens finish their 7-game road swing tonight, playing in Florida on New Year’s Eve.
Coming off an improbable four consecutive wins, the Canadiens were looking to continue their success on the road against the Senators.
After winning their previous four contests due in large part to Jaroslav Halak’s heroics, the Habs will look to obtain their first five game road win streak since 1998 against the Senators.
The best way to look at the past week for the Habs is probably this: A win’s a win, no matter how ugly it may have been.
The Montreal Canadiens continue their 7-game road swing tonight, landing in Toronto to face the Maple Leafs.
The Habs face the Carolina Hurricanes tonight, on the road, against a team with the worst record in the NHL. Despite a brutal away record, Carolina is a respectable 8-8-2 at home, meaning this match will be no easy task for the Canadiens.
It was a long week for the Habs who won just 1 of 4 contests and were listless for most of it.
The Montreal Canadiens will close out their season series with the Thrashers as they visit Atlanta on Monday.
