Montreal had more jump, but they couldn't handle the west's best club. Brian Wilde has more on the Habs' Tuesday night matchup against the Winnipeg Jets.
WATCH: The Montreal Canadiens were looking for their third straight win against Detroit Thursday night but that wasn't in the cards. The Red Wings dominating the Habs and winning 4-2. Global News hockey analyst Brian Wilde discusses the game and the next two weeks with Global News Morning’s host Laura Casella.After three days without a game for the first time since Jan.
Hutson saw that the Jets were doing a line change and he passed it quickly up ice about 120 feet to the Jets blue line. That’s where the outstanding Nick Suzuki line took over. It was Cole Caufield to Suzuki. From behind the net, he quickly fed Juraj Slafkovsky, who one-timed it home. Everyone comfortable with the assignment is what makes a terrific team. An example is everyone loves Jake Evans right now. However, give him Aleksander Barkov and Connor McDavid as the assignment and let’s see how it goes. As a fourth-liner, Evans is as good as it gets in the entire league.
Any team that has eyes on the Stanley Cup has to have a first pair that can handle the best line on the other club. Oddly, it is fair to say that the Canadiens have four top-four, but they don’t have two top-two — not in all three zones. If who will be the top pairing right-side player were the only concerning topic, that would be acceptable. However, the Canadiens most likely suffered a very upsetting injury. Guhle suffered a non-contact right leg injury. He was holding his knee after he fell. He could not put any weight on the leg as he left the ice.When the head coach got word of how bad the injury was minutes later, Martin St. Louis could not hide his disappointment. This could be a significant moment.
This doesn’t address if the squad believes it is time to get stronger, because the fan base is clearly hungry for a playoff spot.
