Despite a relatively even first period, the Habs were able to feast on some questionable goaltending to extend their season-high winning streak to three games after another solid performance helped lead Montreal to a 5-2 victory over Toronto on Monday night.

Both the Habs and the Sabres did their best to not play any defence and this favoured the Sabres as Craig Anderson was able to outsave Samuel Montembeault as Buffalo skated away with a 5-3 win on Sunday afternoon.

Despite a solid effort from the team on Thursday night, the Habs were let down by their goaltending as the Capitals scored four times on their first 15 shots on their way to best Montreal 5-2 despite being outshot 44-23.

Samuel Montembeault had a terrible first period and his teammates tried hard to bounce back but simply weren’t able to as they fell 6-3 to Columbus on Sunday night.

The Habs outworked the young Ducks on Thursday night but got subpar netminding for the first half of the game and some questionable decision-making from the bench in the final moments that ultimately sealed their fate in a 5-4 loss.

The Habs spent much of Thursday night defending, but they scored when it counted as they followed a red-hot Samuel Montembeault through another 49-save performance to an 4-3 overtime loss at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights.

For a team sitting dead last in the league, it was generally thought that Montreal had hit rock bottom. Monday afternoon’s contest against the Coyotes proved that this was not exactly true just yet as the Habs looked completely disinterested in a 5-2 loss.

The Habs had good starts to periods and played physical enough to make it interesting on Wednesday in Boston, but their veterans once again left the kids out to dry while the veteran Bruins took advantage of the gutless effort offered by some of the so-called leaders on the Habs, skating away with a 5-1 victory.

It was a solid effort but the outcome was all too familiar as the Habs lost 5-4 in overtime on Tuesday night despite playing with an inexperienced roster that still worked hard enough to push around the defending Stanley Cup Champions.

Thursday’s game came with many surprises as Cayden Primeau got the start, fans were excluded from the building, and the power play looked dangerous again. In the end, the new line of Drouin, Dauphin, and Ylonen came up big in both the third and the shootout as the Habs finally snapped their seven-game losing skid, beating the Flyers 3-2.
