Call of the Wilde: Montreal Canadiens doubled by Winnipeg Jets in 4-2 home ice loss
The Canadiens faced the club they beat in four straight contests in the second round of the playoffs last season. My how things have changed, though, with both clubs likely to be out this year.have slim playoff hopes yet, so they’re still giving it their all, leading them to a 4-2 victory.Last September, if you thought that the goalie with the most games played on the Canadiens this season was going to be Samuel Montembeault, you would not have been believed.
This was one of Montembeault’s better games as he held the desperate Jets in check in the first period. He made some stunning stops in the second, before succumbing in the third.When a team finishes 31st out of 32 teams in the league, there are clearly some holes. The biggest holes this season start with goaltending, with the team not even doing .900 on the year. That’s actually the biggest hole of the season. Playoff spots cannot be won with .900.
The zone entry and move he made heading into the Jets zone on Montreal’s opening goal was outstanding. It led to Joel Armia scoring on the rebound of an outstanding Dvorak shot. Dvorak must play better. He’s good on the faceoffs, and that helps, but he needs to find a way to be more Phillip Danualt-like, if he cannot be more offensive.
