While it ended on a bit of a down note, it was still a solid week for the Habs as they put themselves back into a playoff spot for the time being.

Fresh off a big win over Buffalo, the Habs looked to make it two victories in as many nights as they took on Carolina on Sunday. However, a late goal from the Hurricanes got it to overtime where Andrei Svechnikov scored the winner to give them the 2-1 victory.

The Habs were able to overcome some strange plays to beat the Sabres as Max Domi, Tomas Tatar, and Brendan Gallagher led the way with three-point nights in a 7-4 victory.

A strong second period for the Habs that saw them score three times helped the Habs get their revenge on the Islanders as they beat New York 4-0 on Thursday night.

With both teams feeling as though their season was on the line, Tuesday’s game between the Habs and Flyers was a tightly contested affair with every inch of ice being battled over. Montreal was able to execute better than they did on Saturday, earning themselves the 3-1 win.

Scoring at five-on-five hasn’t been an issue for the Habs for most of the season but they struggled in that department this past week, picking up just a single win in three games to slip further out of the playoff picture.

Corey Crawford was at his very best while playing in his hometown while the Montreal coaching staff appeared to hit the panic button midway through this game. The result was a 2-0 victory for the Blackhawks despite a 48-shot effort by Montreal.

After Carey Price kept them in the game for the first half, the Habs almost skated out of Nassau with some stolen points. Instead, a terrible pinch by Brett Kulak proved costly and the Habs find their season close to the brink after a 2-1 heartbreaking regulation loss.

After a strong 40 minutes on Tuesday, the Habs relied on their franchise netminder to secure the win in the third period as they held on for a 3-1 win against Detroit.
