The Montreal Canadiens, in the midst of their 82-game grind, enjoyed a rare four consecutive days off this week. When the puck drops for their game against the Chicago Blackhawks, we'll find out if that was enough time for the Habs to learn from their mistakes.
The tricolore played right into the hands of the skilled Pittsbiurgh Penguins in their last outing, relinquishing the puck without a second thought and allowing the Pens' attackers to come at them in waves. The strategy is a poor one on a good day, but with the Habs still missing some key pieces on defence, they were unable to hold the fort.
