The Montreal Canadiens came together on a Thursday night to have one of their most well-played games of the season. There was pace, pressure, plays, and saves from the Habs. The final tally was 3-1 as they outshot the New York Rangers 41-32 to end their six-game losing streak. Players on the team were happy, Claude Julien was relieved, but many members of the fanbase were not.
Montreal winning bumped them up to 27th in the league. If the Draft Lottery were to happen right now, they would have an 8.5% chance of winning. Besides the majority of tweets of posts saying how it was a good win for the Habs, there were others upset that they got the two points.
