Oh yes, the man often branded for his efforts was willing to take Alex Pietrangelo’s check to the face and risk the abrasion just to make the right play and get the Canadiens out of Sin City even. He is often described as the Canadiens’ heart and soul, and they all borrowed a page from his book for this 3-2 win., who reportedly suffered dislocated fingers to his right hand in Game 3 of the second-round series between the Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets.
Petry was literally seeing red for this one, with bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage clouding both eyes crimson — a fancy way of saying he had burst blood vessels that fortunately did not cause pain nor vision impairment, according to his wife, Julie, who informed the public via Instagram while he was out on the ice playing his heart out.
It didn’t look like Petry was going to play after some gamesmanship from Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme in warmup. He didn’t take a regular line rush, and the Canadiens tweeted out their lineup with him listed as a scratch. The league even had its roster report indicating he was out, just 15 minutes before puck drop.“It means a lot,” Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme said of Petry’s presence and his character. “If he could’ve, he would’ve come back earlier.
“He’s an important player for us on both sides. The way he defends, the way he moves, the way he moves the puck is really good. And he’s a gamer. Every time you get in the critical moments, the big games, you see him at his best.” How many Canadiens can we say that about right now? The answer is, enough for them to be exactly where they are., who has gone through so many regular-season ups and downs since arriving in Montreal via trade from Winnipeg in July of 2018. He scored his fifth goal of these playoffs to put the Canadiens up 1-0 after he outmuscled Alec Martinez along the boards and forced his way back to the front to slide one off a skate and past Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
