The Canadiens (13-12-3) have won their last five straight, topped off with an impressive 10-1 thrashing of the Detroit Red Wings last Saturday night. Montreal has been on fire, with key contributions coming from an offense that took advantage of a struggling Detroit team on two separate occasions.
Leading on the scoreboard in this stretch has been Alex Galchenyuk, who has two goals and six assists since the team’s last loss. Paul Byron has four goals and two assists, which includes his first career hattrick last game against Detroit, while Brendan Gallagher added four goals and an assist to his season totals as well.
