The Montreal Canadiens have done a lot of losing lately. There is no question about that.
However, their recent record is not nearly as bad as it seems. It was bad enough to get head coach Claude Julien and assistant coach Kirk Muller and goaltender coach Stephane Waite fired.
But a closer look at their recent record suggests they aren’t really mired in a losing streak, they just can’t play hockey at 3 on 3.
The Canadiens have won just two of their last eight games and three of their last ten games.
