In this week’s HW Recap: A new leader sits atop the Player Rankings as the Habs look to clinch a playoff spot, something the Bulldogs are even closer to accomplishing.

The Devils were fighting for their playoff lives on Saturday when they hosted the Habs but to Montreal’s benefit, they folded without much of a fight as the Habs prevailed with a 3-1 victory.

Similar to February, March was a wildly inconsistent month for the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs began the month with 4 straight wins, only to falter when Zdeno Chara broke Max Pacioretty’s neck on March 8th.

With four losses in the past five games and a meagre 5 goals scored over that psan, doubt about the Canadiens playoff spot…

The desperate Hurricanes, who trail the Rangers by 3 points for the final playoff spot, kept their post-season hopes…

The Canadiens got two quick goals in the first period on Tuesday night vs Atlanta to end a near 200 minute scoring drought, and played a solid team game to earn their first points in over a week, defeating the Thrashers 3-1.

In this week’s HW Recap: Piecing together the power rankings despite 3 straight shutout losses while in Hamilton, despite lacking firepower, the Bulldogs improved their playoff hopes.

Spring may be upon us but the offensive well for the Habs remains completely frozen over as they were shutout for the 3rd straight game, falling 2-0 to Washington.

Heading into Thursday’s game in Boston, some felt that the key to the game was that the Habs get through it without sustaining any more injuries.

One must wonder if retribution is on the minds of the Montreal Canadiens as they visit the Boston Bruins tonight.
