Victor Mete played a bigger role and Noah Juulsen made his NHL debut on Thursday night. The Habs put forth one of their better efforts as of late, beating the Rangers 3-1 to snap their six-game slide

Several teams have issued letters to their fans lately but although it would help towards smoothing things over, don’t expect the Habs to follow suit.

The Canadiens made a move on their back end on Wednesday, dealing defenceman Jakub Jerabek to the Washington Capitals for a 2019 5th Round Draft Pick.

Despite playing a solid road game, the Habs continued their losing ways on Tuesday night, this time dropping a 3-2 overtime decision to the Flyers.

Next up in our 2018 Trade Odds series is Montreal’s goaltending and defence, spots where we could see some changes made before the February 26th trade deadline.

Nicolas Deslauriers will be sticking around with the Habs for a little while yet as he has signed a two-year extension with a cap hit of $950,000.

Montreal’s road and Western Conference struggles collided this week with predictable results as they dropped all three of their games. Meanwhile, Laval managed to pick up a victory over their three contests but continue to have issues keeping the puck out of their own net.

In what was another erratic team performance, the Habs lost their fifth straight contest on Saturday, 6-3 to Vegas. This one came with a bit of a silver lining as Coach Julien assembled a line of younger players that played an excellent second half of the game.

It was another road game and another inexcusably poor effort by the Habs in Arizona as they fell 5-2 on Thursday night. Coaches and management can say they still believe in this season until they are blue in the face but it seems apparent that many in the locker room are not on the same page.

The Habs have locked up their backup goalie of the future for the foreseeable future as they inked Charlie Lindgren to a three-year contract extension.
