It wasn’t looking good for the Montreal Canadiens after the team seemed to have little to fight with at Nassau Coliseum last Thursday, followed by a much better effort but the same lack of production that has plagued them for weeks now two days later versus the Chicago Blackhawks. But a combination of a critical victory over the Philadelphia Flyers that removed one of their potential competitors from the playoff race, and a loss by the team immediately above them in the wild-card chase has them right back in the mix.
