Before I begin, I want to take a look back at the week that was in the land of the Montreal Canadiens. After coming away with only one win the week before, the Canadiens bounced back the way they needed to securing regulation wins against the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Islanders.
The regulation time win against the Flyers was huge for the Habs. Playing a team chasing them in the standings, the last thing the Canadiens needed was a three-point game. The Canadiens played a good team game that night, outshooting their opponents, limiting turnovers, and jumping out to a 2-0 lead after two periods certainly didn’t hurt!
