The Habs showed no signs of fatigue as they stayed in the fight, coming from two down to force overtime.It was a big relief for Nick Suzuki in the second period. He got the puck in the slot and deftly fired a wrist shot past Elvis Merzlikins.
Late third period, with the score tied, Matheson completed an absolutely sublime pass to free Caufield. It was an over-the-top alley-oop from blue line to blue line that landed in front of Caufield for the breakaway. Matheson did it all. One can’t know what happens with those draft picks for a few years that Hughes gave up, and the Colorado Avalanche did get some quality with those picks, but it also looks like Hughes found another gem.
It must be said, though, that perhaps he had his turnaround in the third period and overtime. He played much better, and could build on it. There’s just not enough net for three over an extended period of time. Perhaps Hughes is waiting for one of them to get injured. Considering the last three years, that’s actually fairly logical planning.The most likely to leave is Cayden Primeau back to Laval. This is because there just isn’t much of a goalie market in a trade. A GM does not get good value in a trade, historically.
