After an extended break, the Habs were back in action on Saturday as they hosted Vegas. The Golden Knights took command of the game with a five-goal second period and never looked back as they picked up the 6-2 win.
After seeing their franchise-record eight-game win streak end, Laval has a new one underway after they took all three of their games against division rivals to cap off their five-game road trip.
The Habs finally got themselves back into the win column with a pair of victories sandwiching the seemingly annual loss in Minnesota. However, it certainly feels like something needs to change with backup goaltender Cayden Primeau.
After ending their road trip on a loss on Thursday, the Habs returned home to face Columbus on Saturday. It took until the third period for Montreal to take control but they did just that, collecting a 5-1 win for their efforts.
Last month wasn’t the start the Habs wanted to get off to, to say the least. Despite that, there were a few decent performers. Here are the results from our reader vote for the three stars of the month.
Laval had a pair of games against division rival Belleville last week, a team they’ve struggled with in the past. They were able to come back to win the first game but were unable to hold the lead in the second one as their eight-game win streak came to an end.
After extending their losing streak to six over the weekend, the Habs looked to get back in the win column on Monday afternoon. It turned out to be quite the eventful game, one Montreal was able to come out with the 7-5 victory.
Montreal tried to put extra emphasis on their defensive play this past week in an effort to try to stabilize things. They had some success on that front but still made plenty of mistakes that were costly while their offensive production grinded to a halt.
The month of October wasn’t particularly good for the Habs. However, it was a good one for quite a few of Montreal’s prospects who either started their season with a bang or continued their run from September.
The Habs were back in action on Thursday in New Jersey, looking to end their losing streak in the process. They kept it close against a top team in the East but came up short again, falling 5-3.
