The Montreal Canadiens have been one of the best teams in the league at putting pucks in the net at even strength this season. Entering last night’s slate of games, the Habs had 75 goals for at five-on-five which ranked eighth in the league, just a goal behind the Washington Capitals and two goals behind the Toronto Maple Leafs who played one more game.
Goals against at even strength hasn’t been a huge problem, but doesn’t put them as close to the top of the heap as their scoring. They have allowed 68 goals at five-on-five which puts them 17th among the 31 teams in the NHL.
