The Montreal Canadiens started better against the Calgary Flames but still lost on home ice in overtime as the team is struggling to find its footing in the young NHL season.
The Canadiens gave up a combined 14 goals in the last two games, as they mark back-to-back losses falling 6-3 to the Washington Capitals on Thursday. Global’s hockey analyst Brian Wilde breaks down the game with Global's Brayden Jagger Haines.One of the surprises of the season has been the Calgary Flames , who seemed destined for the bottom when they began selling assets last season. However, Calgary has been a pleasant surprise.
A lot of the offence was keyed by Lane Hutson. He continues to be a spark plug all over the ice, as the Flames chased him around. Hutson’s passes are leading to outstanding chances, but it seems as if his teammates can’t convert his efforts. The conversion rate of his passes is low.U.S.
This was a good recovery game. Some had their best games of the season. Arber Xhekaj was strong. Mike Matheson was all around the puck. Christian Dvorak had his best game of the season, especially in the face-off circle. As a defending cup champion and already out of the gates with strength, the Canadiens certainly hope to not get Florida’s pick. That would be likely around the 26th to 32nd pick. The chance of acquiring a bona fide strong NHL player at that spot is only 35 percent.
