My first GDT: let's start a new winning streak Hoglander - Horvat - Boeser Vesey - Miller - Virtanen Motte - Sutter - Hawryluk Roussel - Gaudette - MacEwen Edler - Schmidt Hughes - Hamonic Benn - Myers Holtby / (Demko) Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson Tatar - Danault - Gallagher Lehkonen- Kotkaniemi - Armia Byron - Evans - Perry (DTD: Toffoli) Kulak - Petry Edmundson - Weber Mere - Romanov Price / (Allen) I'll check for line changes closer the start of the game Starting line up in bold

Vesey - Horvat - Virtanen Hoglander - Miller - Boeser Motte - Sutter - Hawryluk Roussel - Gaudette - MacEwen Edler - Schmidt Hughes - Hamonic Benn - Myers Demko Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Anderson Toffoli - Suzuki - Gallagher Tatar - Danault - Armia Byron - Evans - Lehkonen Edmundson - Weber Kulak - Petry Ouellet - Romanov Allen

OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before. Last game of the road trip. Let's see if the Habs can end it strong, or if they're already thinking about going home to poutine and... not turning right at red lights... That's the best I can do for notable things about Montreal at 4:15am, ok?

The line must be drawn he-are! This far, no further! Ouellet draws in for Mete. Danault a game time decision. Price starts. Full lines to come. Go Habs Go!

Vancouver has been very kind to us so far, will that continue? How many goals will Toffoli score this time? A hat trick perhaps... Will Danault score or continue his brilliant passing? Can the new look Kotaniemi line feast tonight? Can Drouin elevate his game even further? Is our defence up to the challenge or are they too slow? Will Ducharme make any roster adjustments? I will update with lines and goalie when available Go Habs Go let’s keep this streak going.

Our new winning streak will continue tonight bolstered by a modest win over a modest Sens team. Price played a quiet, technically sound game and our new power play coach had an immediate impact. I expect both of these new trends to continue as the Habs build momentum under new systems. Ducharme has adjusted ice times and is moving away from the rolling 4 lines model to a more traditional model. Suzuki's line has greatly increased ice time while the struggling Danault has had his ice time peeled back. Kotkaniemi was very impressive against Ottawa but has shown inconsistent flashes of brilliance all season long. Will KK's skills ever result in actual goals and points or is he another draft pick that teases us without any results (and boy have we seen lots of them here)? Edmundson and Petry played great against the Sens but boy oh boy have they been struggling lately, I hope they have both turned the corner. In my opinion this is a very important game against a very good team. A loss could drag us down into the crap again but a win could propel us into a long winning streak. Can someone please stand up and score some goals?! I will update with lines etc once we know if Anderson is playing and who the starting goalie is So no Anderson and Allen in net

HOLY BALLS LOOK AT LINE 3
