The Montreal Canadiens and the Winnipeg Jets are in the same boat as the 2019 Rookie Tournament draws close to its end. Both teams lost their opening match to the Ottawa Senators; however, it takes no analysis to say the Jets took the harsher of the two defeats.
The Habs had things going for them when they could and benefited from the play of their top line of Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, Ryan Poehling, and Nick Suzuki. Jake Evans and Liam Howel were also standouts on the ice, but it was defensive errors that cost the team the game.
