The Habs entered their series against Vegas on a roll with seven straight victories. Our latest podcast takes a look back at the postseason so far as well as discussing their matchup against the Golden Knights.
The Habs came out strong on Monday but couldn’t beat a floundering Marc-Andre Fleury. Ten minutes later, the Knights woke up and the Habs didn’t have an answer other than Carey Price’s continued heroics but it wasn’t enough as the Golden Knights opened the series with a 4-1 win.
The Habs are heavy undergoes once again as they head into their third-round series against the Golden Knights but there are some ways that they can come out victorious. Our writers provide their thoughts on how Montreal can win the series.
The Habs didn’t waste any time finishing Winnipeg off as they spent both ends of a back-to-back game last week to sweep Winnipeg, earning themselves a long break in the process and a trip to Vegas for the third round.

The Habs were the better team for most of Monday’s Game 4 which was surprising given the fact that the Jets had their season on the line. Montreal let up enough in the second for Winnipeg to get back in the game, but the Suzuki-Caufield overtime magic was just too irresistible as they found an open Toffoli to end the series with a 3-2 victory, sending the Habs to a final-four appearance.
