The Hamilton Bulldogs roster just got even weaker on Tuesday as Aaron Palushaj, who was on waivers to re-join the team after recovering from a shoulder injury, was claimed by the Colorado Avalanche.
Last season, playing at home did not provide any sort of advantage for the Habs but the same can’t be said early on this year after a perfect 3-0 week on home ice.
For the second time this year, the Habs were looking to win back-to-back games.
After getting shellacked in Ottawa, the Habs bounced back in the best way possible, crushing division rival Buffalo 6-1 on Saturday afternoon.
It took a long longer than anyone expected but earlier this week, P.K. Subban and the Habs put pen to paper on a two year, $5.75 million extension.
It was a winning week for the Canadiens’ organization as the Habs earned victories in all three of their games while the Bulldogs won a game for the first time in nearly three weeks.
The P.K. Subban signing saga has come to an end as the team announced Monday night that the defenceman signed a two year contract with the team.
For the first time this season, the Habs blew a 3rd period lead but were able to overcome that to beat New Jersey 4-3 in overtime on Sunday night.
Goals may very well be at a premium on Sunday night as the Habs (who allow the second fewest goals per game) host the Devils (who allow the fewest).
