Canadiens vs. New York Islanders this season: Three games, three wins by an aggregate score of 13-6.
Vs. New York Rangers: Two games, two wins, aggregate 8-1.
Vs. New Jersey Devils: One game, one win, 3-2.
At least New Jersey took the Canadiens to a Shootout. The Islanders and rangers have racked up five regulation losses.
And if Jacques Lemaire were behind the home bench in Newark Friday night, would the Devils have blown a 2-0 lead?
We’ll never know.
But Montreal fans will get another look at the Devils Saturday night at the Bell Centre, where the Canadiens will try to stretch their winning streak to five games.
