The Habs entered the week with a slim chance at making the postseason. They were in it until almost the very end but ultimately came up short of locking down a playoff spot.

The Habs looked to finish the 2018-19 season on a high note as they hosted Toronto on Saturday night. The game was wild and wacky at times while a newcomer made an immediate impact in a 6-5 shootout victory for Montreal.

Thursday’s game was not as entertaining as Tuesday’s though I would say the Habs tried every bit as hard. The difference is that Washington was defensively aware of what Montreal was bringing to the table and had a plan to keep the Habs off the scoreboard and did so as they pulled off the 2-1 victory.

Despite losing tough games against Carolina and Columbus last month, the Habs are going to be in the mix for a playoff spot right down to the wire.

Tuesday’s must-win game against Tampa Bay game had it all: big time hits, strange goals, nice goals, spectacular saves, and even some nastiness. In the end, the Habs pulled together a full 60-minute effort from every single player dressed to win 4-2.

As the song and saying go, two out of three ain’t bad. That’s normally the case when it comes to results in any given week but for the Habs, their one loss was a costly one.

Saturday night’s tilt with the Jets was one to forget, but Montreal played a near perfect road game in the process. Fan boredom aside, this was a well-executed game for the Habs who skated out of Winnipeg with a 3-1 to keep their playoffs hopes alive.

Following a tough loss on Thursday, the Habs are now on the outside looking in at the postseason. However, there are two teams within striking distance so there’s still a chance for Montreal. Here’s a look at the schedules for the squads still in the hunt.

After a strong start, the Habs spent much of the night completely winded as they faced a Blue Jackets team that was bigger, stronger, and more skilled that pulled off the 6-2 victory on Thursday night.

The Habs came out flying and that’s all that was needed to bury the Panthers on Tuesday night as they offered very little resistance in a 6-1 victory by the Canadiens.
