While the week started off on a high note for the Habs, they got worse as it went on and didn’t provide much of a fight over their two-game set in Florida.

A tribute to Canadiens legend Henri Richard who passed away on Friday after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

The Habs were looking to get back on track after a rough game on Thursday as they took on the Panthers in Sunrise on Saturday. The shorthanded Habs couldn’t salvage anything from the trip to Florida though, dropping a 4-1 decision.

With most of the regular Laval lineup now in Montreal, what’s left of the Canadiens faced one of the league’s best in the Lightning. The result was therefore no surprise as Tampa Bay never really appeared threatened by the Habs as they breezed to a 4-0 victory

The Canadiens were looking to build off their win on Saturday by visiting the Islanders for one last time at Barclays Center. After a slow start in the first ten minutes, the Habs poured on the offence and walked away with a 6-2 win.

The Habs had big leads in all three of their games this past week but were still only able to pick up just a single win on home ice as they slim playoff hopes fell even further.

The Habs were closing out a three-game homestand as they took on the Carolina Hurricanes at the Bell Centre on Saturday. The Habs had a 3-0 lead in the second period, but once again they couldn’t hold onto it. Luckily, a Jeff Petry breakaway goal in overtime gave the Habs a 4-3 win, despite another blown lead.

The trade deadline came and went on Monday with a large quantity of trades from the Habs but none really involving impact players. Was that the right approach for Bergevin to take? Our writers weigh in with their thoughts.

At some point, the coaching staff might be required to play some different players in their attempt to defend leads. Regardless, it was another blown lead for the Habs who just can’t seem to figure it out as they allowed five unanswered to lose 5-2 to the Rangers on Thursday night.
