The Canadiens turned things around Sunday when they won their first game of a five-game road trip. Montreal's young talent shone as the Habs beat the Seattle Kraken 5-1.
It had been a difficult five-game road trip for the Montreal Canadiens with three losses in their first three games.
It’s only three games because Slafkovsky will leave his teenage years behind on March 30. If Slafkovsky keeps his current pace, he should not have any difficulty reaching the total. He has eight points in his last seven games. Credit to the Canadiens managerial and scouting staff. They went with a player who was never the consensus pick at number one leading up to the draft, but it appears they made the right choice.There are so many great moves made by the organization under Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes. Kirby Dach is a tremendous acquisition as his ceiling his high. Dach only needs to stay healthy to show it.
The best goal of the night was a shorthanded tally by Mike Matheson. He showed all the skills that he has to score on a breakaway. It didn’t start as a breakaway, but he out-skated Tomas Tatar so severely that he turned it into one. He then beat the goalie Joey Daccord with a gorgeous deke. Matheson was plus-five on the night.It wasn’t a perfect night for Montreal as they were dominated in the second and third periods, but Cayden Primeau was strong again.
Reinbacher will not be known for his offensive prowess, though, when he becomes a staple on the Canadiens blue line. The search was for stability and smarts, and it was easy to find. The Austrian national knows exactly what to do when he is on the ice. A successful blue line doesn’t just feature the prolific offence of Lane Hutson, the ripper of a shot that Logan Mailloux has. A strong blue line features smart defenders who can shutdown attackers as well. Sometimes a team needs a goal down 3-2, and sometimes a team needs to hold on for the win up 3-2.
