RSS Canadiens Team Notes

A day after a shootout thriller in Toronto, the Montreal Canadiens were right back in action, this time against the St. Louis Blues at the Bell Centre.

Earlier in the day we found out that Samuel Montembeault would…

With a two-game road trip coming up for the Montreal Canadiens, they’ve dipped into their minor-league depth and recalled a player at every position. Owen Beck has received his second recall of the season, Adam Engström is back after joining the team for the previous road trip, and Jacob Fowler will join the NHL team for the first time. The Canadiens had been playing with the minimum…

The Montreal Canadiens barely showed up for their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning last night. Outskated, outplayed, and outscored rather soundly by their divisional rivals, one could be forgiven for assuming it was the Habs, and not the Lightning who had played the night prior in Toronto. It was a truly atrocious performance in front of their home fans, many of whom left early in the third…

After a wildly disappointing effort at home on Tuesday night, the Montreal Canadiens hit the road for a Thursday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Before hitting the road – in fact, immediately following the aforementioned debacle against Tampa – they called up some reinforcements from Laval, looking to shake things up in search of a win. The most notable lineup change saw them…

It was a rare occurrence on Friday night as the Laval Rocket returned to the ice after a shootout loss to the Toronto Marlies on Wednesday night. The team was still without three of their key pieces as they were part of a winning effort in Pittsburgh for the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. That meant Kaapo Kähkönen was again the starter in net, while Ryan O’Rourke drew in alongside Josiah…

Starting the day with a chance to potentially move into first place in the Atlantic division, the Montreal Canadiens were in action against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, they may have been a little late to arrive to that game mentally, as they fell behind 3-1 after two periods before coming on strong in the third.
