Don’t look now, but the Montreal Canadiens are steadily climbing toward a playoff position, and tonight will play the next foe on what seemed an impossible list of teams to leapfrog just a few days ago.
It’s been a Jekyll and Hyde season for the Canadiens thus far, and while certainly their situation is the envy of no one (except possibly the Buffalo Sabres and Arizona Coyotes), the Habs are far from done and dusted after important wins in the past week against the Buffalo Sabres, Columbus Blue Jackets, and most recently the Ottawa Senators.
