The Montreal Canadiens lost another game to the Tampa Bay Lightning to start their post-holiday schedule, in a 4-1 game that may have not even been that close.
One thing is clear when watching this team over the last few weeks: there are simply too many players who do not fit in, and it is impossible to expect the young core of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Kaiden Guhle, Juraj Slafkovský, and others to perform better than they are.
The good news is that most of the young players had good moments against the Lightning.
