Having won three of their previous four games, there was a lot of hope that the Montreal Canadiens would continue to turn their season around in Thursday’s matchup with the Minnesota Wild. When the team was handed a two-goal deficit before the game had hit the five-minute mark, it was clear that there were still some issues.
The biggest concern is the play of Carey Price, whose positioning has been off since the start of the year. Yesterday is was announced that Price would be held out of the game against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday as he recovers from a lower-body injury.
