We’ll know after a few shifts whether the Canadiens have finally learned the lesson about their slow starts. They’ve forced Jake Allen to do some incredible things over the past couple of weeks, and usually lost two points when he alone couldn’t bail them out. They need to show a bit more urgency from the opening faceoff to save themselves from working out of an early deficit the rest of the night.
Since the top line has been reformed after a brief time apart on Saturday, the Canadiens’ success versus the Calgary Flames may ultimately come down to how the rest of the lines perform.
