Two fast teams, two physical teams, awesome saves, great defending, creative plays, good scoring chances, and tons of drama. Monday’s game had it all and the Habs came through with a 3-2 overtime win in Boston.

Montreal’s frustration over their offensive struggles boiled over as the team took needless risks and also faltered defensively. The end result was a 4-1 win for St. Louis on Thursday night.

Shea Weber was in uniform, Antti Niemi played a strong game, and the defencemen played a strong third period to get the Habs a win to close off their back-to-back set as they beat Detroit 3-2.

An early injury to Shea Weber and a tendency to hang around the perimeter proved costly as the Habs fell 1-0 to Minnesota on Monday night.

The last time the Habs lost this soundly, it was a complete team no-show versus the Bruins. On Saturday, the Habs provided effort, but the Nashville Predators were having none of it as they came away with the 4-1 win.

The Habs played a strong first period, then they blocked a ton of shots and relied on their all-star the rest of the way as they handled the Canucks 2-0 on Thursday night.

In what can only be described as a full team effort for the better part of 60 minutes, the Habs were able to skate away with a 5-3 victory in Florida on Friday night.

In a somewhat Jekyll and Hyde performance, the line of Phillip Danault, Tomas Tatar and Brendan Gallagher led the charge in the scoring department as Danault scored his first career hat-trick as the Habs picked up a 4-3 overtime win on Saturday in Vegas.

A textbook defensive effort on the road in a back-to-back allowed the Habs to leave Arizona with two points on Thursday night earned mostly by Carey Price.

Carey Price was all alone on Monday night as the Bruins dominated the Habs with apparent ease en route to a 4-0 victory in Montreal’s final home game of 2018.
