The Habs put forth a much more complete effort in Game 4 on Sunday night. However, it wasn’t enough as Vegas turned the tables with a 2-1 overtime victory, squaring up the series at two games apiece.

The first week of Montreal’s semifinal series against Vegas has been a successful one as the Habs grabbed home-ice advantage with a split on the road and then stole a victory on home ice to grab the lead.

The Habs hardly put their best foot forward in regulation on Friday night but some heroics from Carey Price and a late gaffe from Marc-Andre Fleury sent the game to overtime. Montreal was much better in the extra frame and skated away with a crucial 3-2 victory.

On Thursday, the NHL named the three finalists for the Jim Gregory Award, given to the general manager of the year.  Montreal GM Marc Bergevin is one of those finalists.

The Habs once again came out strong, took a lead, and were ultimately able to hang on for the 3-2 win on Wednesday night as they split the road game giving them home-ice advantage moving forward.

Another of Montreal’s international minor leaguers is heading back overseas as it was announced on Tuesday that defenceman Otto Leskinen has signed a two-year deal with Jokerit of the KHL.

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.
