Despite the recent challenges, the Montreal Canadiens players continue to deliver unexpected and positive surprises. Saturday night at the Bell Centre was truly remarkable, with the team responding to adversity in the best way possible.
It’s evident that Martin St-Louis has maintained good control over his locker room.
In a convincing 5-2 win, Jake Evans, Kirby Dach, Joel Armia, Cole Caufield, and Alex Newhook scored goals. This game was crucial for players like Dach, Armia, and Newhook, who may have finally found their rhythm and truly impressed the audience, particularly Dach.
Furthermore, Jake Evans keeps demonstrating that he is a dependable third-line center for the Canadiens and one of the most overlooked players in the NHL.
There was also a heartfelt moment during the celebration for Juraj Slafkovsky, even in his absence. It’s worth noting that the Canadiens achieved this impressive victory while missing Slafkovsky, who is clearly valued by the team.
After the game, the players honored Slafkovsky by leaving a spot open for him during their celebration.
