News Canadiens Team Notes

Statistically speaking, Wednesday night saw one of the worst games the Montreal Canadiens have played this season. They were roundly dominated at five-on-five by the Seattle Kraken, but some very opportunistic scoring and stellar goaltending from Jakub Dobes combined to earn them a 4-2 lead in the third period. Penalties sunk them from there, as two power play goals forced an overtime period that…

After a very disappointing end to their western road swing in Seattle, the Montreal Canadiens returned home to a tough test against the division-leading Florida Panthers. A few days of rest obviously served them well, because they were the better team for the full 60 minutes, taking a convincing 3-1 win that inched them closer to a wild card spot. As of this writing, they sit just one point behind…

After a mid-week hiccup against the Bridgeport Islanders, the Laval Rocket got back to their winning ways against the Utica Comets on Friday night, claiming a 4-1 victory and increasing their lead at the top of the North Division. With Rochester off on Saturday, the Rocket had a chance to increase that gap even further, possibly opening up a five point advantage. There wasn’t much to change…

You wouldn’t necessarily know it by the way people are talking about the Montreal Victoire, but they are still atop the PWHL standings. With seven games remaining in the season, they are six points ahead of their opponent on Tuesday night, the Boston Fleet (7:00 p.m., Amazon Prime [Canada], NESN/YouTube [US/International]). Things can turn around quickly, however. A regulation loss to the…

He initially signed a one-year…

After sweeping a weekend series over the Utica Comets on Friday and Saturday last week, the Laval Rocket returned to the confines of Place Bell for the start of a five-game homestand. If all went according to plan, and with a bit of luck, the Rocket could end its with a playoff berth locked up. Standing in their way first were the Toronto Marlies, a team that Rocket were finally finding regular…

Hi EOTP, it’s been a while. The last time I wrote for this website was in early July of 2015, when I announced I was leaving to join Sportlogiq, a start-up hockey analytics company in Montreal. Nearly 10 years later, I’m coming back. Not as manager, Justin and Jared have that handled, but as a weekly feature writer to bring you top-tier Habs analysis that doesn’t exist elsewhere.

Currently occupying the final playoff spot in their conference, the Montreal Canadiens had another crucial contest on Thursday night against the New York Islanders. Up against one of the teams chasing them for that final spot, a win could go a long way to giving the Habs some breathing room. Unfortunately, they ran up against a brick wall in the form of Ilya Sorokin, and though they were able to…

Last season, the Montreal Victoire had the goaltender who led the league in save percentage, goals against average, and was coming off of a professional hockey championship. It wasn’t Ann-Renée Desbiens, who has been Canada’s number-one goaltender since 2019. It was Elaine Chuli. Now, with Desbiens out with a lower-body injury, Chuli will have an opportunity to be the goaltender leaned on as…

Still fighting for a wild card position, the Montreal Canadiens had a tough test on Saturday night. The Colorado Avalanche – who loaded up in a big way at this year’s trade deadline – were in town for a prime time matchup. They outclassed the Habs in a big way for the first 20 minutes, and we were treated to an epic comeback by the home side in the final 20 minutes. Ultimately the Habs fell short…

The Montreal Victoire had a chance to be the first PWHL team to clinch a playoff spot this season with a regulation win, however they fell to the Toronto Sceptres 2-1 on Sunday afternoon at a sold-out Place Bell in Laval. Kristen Campbell made 32 saves as the Victoire lost for the first time in regulation where they outshot an opponent. Elaine Chuli made 18 saves in her first start since…

Ivan Demidov, SKA St. Petersburg, KHL, Russia While many Montreal fans, and media, have been harsh on SKA St. Peterburg’s coach Roman Rotenberg’s usage of Montreal’s top prospect Ivan Demidov, it is important to look at the seasonal usage and compare it to his season before the draft. In the 68 games that Demidov has been part of SKA’s line up he has averaged 13:45 of play…
