DON

Was passed over in his draft year so is turning 20 in April and in his 4th WHL season. Many older non-NHL bound kids light it up vs many high-schoolers. So grain of salt when just looking at his offense. Will see next season (or AHL playoffs this spring?) how he handles being the youngster playing vs men.

Basu went on to say Gallagher is offensive boat anchor and Bolduc might help provide a bit of offense if added to that line.

Canadiens weekly notebook: Favourable matchups, Brendan Gallagher’s role - The Athletic “It’d be nice to be able to spread the minutes a little bit better, and I felt tonight, after the first, I felt really good about what we’re doing and I felt like we’ll probably be able to do that tonight,” he said. “And then you start chasing the game.” As a result, Lane Hutson played more than 10 minutes in the third period alone Sunday, and the top line of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovský hovered around nine minutes.

Canadiens vs. Lightning: Game preview and how to watch ... The Habs might be too confident in their offensive talent this season, leaving the door open to counter-attacks by overextending in the offensive zone, something that kicked off the St. Louis Blues’ comeback on Sunday. The Lightning aren’t going to make those mistakes in this game, and still have the players to capitalize if Montreal is once again too loose in its assignments.

Bottom Six Minutes: Inconsistency plagues the Habs at home ... This was the kind of chance Jakub Dobes had to face on every goal scored against him. It was either an odd-man rush, or a man left completely alone in front. Goaltending has been an issue for this team throughout the season, but they can’t even start to blame goaltending for this loss. Prime Carey Price may have won that game for them, but this team is supposed to be past the need for those kind of heroics.

Tired... BOOO? Blues are on the road trip, are a pretty weak team and played vs Sens the day before, young team, no excuse.

Assume Protz's defense/psyicality must of been what they were considering or wanting to see more of in the summer? Is his play similar to Struble's?

Blues just 4 shots.

Good for Dobes and bad for Monty. See how he handles back to back games.

Pickfords game yesterday Bryce Pickford With The Hat Trick - Has 20 Goals in 28 GMs - Is Team Canada Watching? 12-6-25

Anderson no goals this time, but 4 shots 4 hits. Matheson/Dobson 4 shots each. Kapanen/Demidov 2 shots each. I hate shootouts. Suzuki just 9/25 & Kapanen 2/7 on faceoffs. Canadiens’ Nick Suzuki continues to win important matchups: ‘We’re maturing’ - The Athletic

Hage 1a 2 shots in 3-1 loss to rival Michigan State. Miller 24 shot 5-2 win/ Harris 1g 2 shots Pickford 3g 10 shots with a 10 minute misconduct in 2nd period, 1st star of game for 3rd straight game. Has matched his goal total from last year.

The 10-19 Blues won yesterday over the Sens but still in 28th place and havent scored much this year. So Monty may not need to stand on his head.

Yaaaa, nice to see the PP click again. Was that Caufield's 1st PP goal?

Dobson with 3 shots.
