MONTREAL — In each of the past three NHL seasons, the Montreal Canadiens have ranked near the bottom in both penalty and power-play percentage.
It was a liability that seemed immune to changes in combinations or strategy and was a key contributor to their poor finishes in the standings.
“Guys are making good reads and getting out in front of shots,” said goaltender Samuel Montembeault. “We worked a lot on . It’s always a group effort and everyone contributed.” “His anticipation, his quickness, and a really good, frustrating style of hockey. He stole a lot of pucks with his intelligence,” said head coach Martin St. Louis. “He just needs to learn to apply what he understands on the power play to the other side and reverse-engineer it.”
That was on display on both sides of the puck against the Blues as Alex Newhook’s go-ahead goal while on the man-advantage came at a key time in the matchup. After losing a two-goal lead in just over two minutes, it seemed as though the Blues were on the verge of taking over the game before Newhook found the back of the net just six seconds into the power play.
