If you’re the Boston Blades, you might look at a weekend of back to back matches against Les Canadiennes de Montréal with just a tickle of dread. And it’s not a wonder why — last season, the Montreal club put up 44 goals in 6 games against the Blades.
To make matters worse for Boston, they only managed to put up a single goal against Montreal in those same six games.
The last time these teams met in late February 2016 for the final two games of the season, Montreal’s offence didn’t give the Blades very much breathing room between goals, as they allowed only 27 shots in 6 periods.
