Despite still being in control of second place in the standings, Les Canadiennes are struggling to win. Going to Boston to face the Blades, who have yet to win this season, may be just what the doctor ordered - for both teams.
The last time these two teams faced each other, there was a stomping on Saturday and a scare on Sunday. After an 11-0 shutout of the Blades, Les Canadiennes were caught behind 2-1 in the score in the second period of Sunday’s game. Montreal did come back to win the second game, but felt more heat than they would have liked.
