Sergei Bobrovsky is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, and he was in full form on Tuesday as the Blue Jackets were able to steal two points from a determined Charlie Lindgren and his Canadiens in a 2-1 overtime contest.
Montreal’s claiming of goaltender Antti Niemi off waivers from Florida on Tuesday hasn’t exactly gone over well. Although he’s off to a dreadful start to the year, there’s not a whole lot to really worry about here.
The votes are in, and though the Montreal Canadiens didn’t get off to the best of starts, they’ve begun to turn it around thanks in part to the strong play of our October three stars.
Although Montreal’s offence scuffled, a strong performance from Charlie Lindgren allowed the team to pick up a pair of critical wins as the Habs look to crawl their way back into the playoff picture. In Laval, the Rocket had some defensive struggles that proved costly although they were still able to split their two games.
Despite being heavily short-handed and delivering a solid performance, the Habs came out of this game with nothing to show for it as they were defeated 3-0 by the Minnesota Wild.
Montreal set out for their sixth win in their last eight games on Tuesday night and would be successful in defeating the surprising Vegas Golden Knights by a 3-2 score.
It took nearly a month but Montreal’s offence was out in full force last week as they picked up a trio of wins. Laval continued their offensive run as well as they picked up a pair of wins while continuing to be the highest-scoring team in the AHL.
Montreal looked to finish up their four-game road trip on a winning note on Sunday night in Chicago and received their best goaltending performance of the season en route to a 2-0 victory.
In a game that both teams deserved, the Habs came out on top of a 5-4 overtime decision on Saturday night in Winnipeg. It was exciting from start to finish, a true game for the fans to enjoy from the edge of their seats.
