The Habs struck early but were unable to pick an elusive second goal against Thatcher Demko and the Canucks on Monday. Vancouver managed to tie it late and won in the shootout, kicking off Montreal’s road trip on a losing note.
The month of February saw most of Montreal’s prospects in action for the first time in this strange 2020-21 campaign. Several players in Laval are off to good starts while some of their younger prospects continue to dominate.
The month of March got off to a good start for the Habs as they picked up five of six points. However, the biggest story of the past week once again came on the coaching front with another change being made.
The Habs went into Saturday night hoping that they could get some revenge on Winnipeg after losing in overtime on Thursday. Mission accomplished as the offence sprung to life, putting up seven goals in a 7-1 victory.
The Habs and Jets exchanged momentum, chances, goals, big hits, dirty plays, and words between whistles all night long. But in the end, Winnipeg once again prevailed in overtime, winning 4-3 on Thursday night.
February wasn’t as kind to the Habs as January was but some players still had strong showings. Make your selections for Montreal’s three stars of the month!
Following Tuesday’s victory against Ottawa, the Canadiens made another coaching change as goalie coach Stephane Waite was relieved of his duties. Sean Burke has been named Montreal’s Director of Goaltending and will serve as his replacement.
It was far from a perfect game from the Habs but their power play came to life on Tuesday night, scoring twice in three opportunities to lead them to a 3-1 victory over Ottawa.
Josh Anderson has been one of Montreal’s top performers so far this season which earns him the spotlight in March’s desktop wallpaper calendar.
