Perfect weekend for the Canadiens

Crédit:

After a big win against the Flyers last night, Martin St-Louis’ team was back in action tonight in Nashville.

Just before the game, we learned that David Savard and Emil Heineman would miss the game.

Here are the lineups:

Like last night, Montreal did not start the game well.

The Preds took advantage to score the first goal. Mike Matheson…

Michael Pezzetta, in the middle of the period, tried to wake up his team.

However, he was roughed up by Andreas Englund.

Nashville thought they had doubled their lead, but after review, the goal was called back for interference against Jakub Dobes.

What do you think?

In the beginning of the second period, Dobes made some key saves.

It whipped up his team. Cole Caufield scored his 36th goal of the season and is now just four goals away from 40 this season and 778 away from Alex Ovechkin’s record.

This was also his 66th point of the season, beating his personal record.

On the goal, Nick Suzuki collected his 84th point of the season.

This ties the number of points Alex Kovalev had during the 2007-2008 season.

Later, Lane Hutson fed Patrik Laine, who scored a five-on-five goal.

But more importantly, with the point collected by Hutson, he tied Chris Chelios’ record for most points by a rookie defenseman in Habs history (64).

Gr48 chase is on?

The rest of the game was all about Dobes.

He stopped 35 of the 36 shots directed at him.

Final score: 2-1 Montreal. Perfect weekend, then.

The Habs now have six points more than the Rangers and Red Wings, who are chasing them in the standings.

Montreal will be back in action on Tuesday against the Red Wings.

A big game against Detroit, who is still in the picture.

Overtime

– The Rocket lost, though.

– Kaiden Guhle and Juraj Slafkovsky were kicked out for their actions.

– Imagine if he had played the whole season.

– What a season!
