“Before the game tonight, it was a good journey and we had the chance to make an exceptional, said Canadian coach. I liked this part because it has dictated our pace from beginning to end. ‘
The Habs are three points ahead of the Boston Bruins, who, however, four more parts to play.
Michael Ryder had two goals and an assist in the victory. It was his first two goals since his return with the Canadiens. Ryder has been an amazing journey with a production of ten points over the last five games. Prior to the meeting tonight, he had amassed seven assists since the beginning of the trip, who is primarily known for his talents as a marker. It now totals 101 career goals in the uniform blue-white-red.
Defenseman Andrei Markov took Ryder’s second goal for his 300th career passing, who totaled 386 points since he gave his first shots skates in the NHL.
Subban has three assists, who totaled 18 points in 20 games. “He played probably his best hockey career, supported Therrien. PK was asked to keep it simple and focus to make a good first pass. He is a player excited by the game and it can easily get out of the game plan, but the past two weeks, it is solid in defense and he does not run unnecessary risks. ‘
Captain Brian Gionta, who played one game with the Canadiens 200th, scored his ninth of the season was the 3-0 mark and gave a serious blow to the side of the Panthers in the second period. A little over two minutes later, Gionta has an accomplice on the first season of Francis Bouillon. It was then 4-0.
Therrien praised the contribution of his great offensive. He argued that the purpose of Bouillon had done poorly the Panthers. “The defenders must be active attack because the clubs are so good defensively. We do not lace, it puts the puck in the net. The purpose of Bouillon, this was a big one. ‘
David Desharnais had given advance Canadian after only 106 seconds at the beginning of the meeting taking Jacob Markstrom in default with a shot at the top.
Unlike his bad habits, the Canadians has not given goal in the second period, which allowed him to maintain his lead. Since the beginning of the season, the team Michel Therrien had conceded 30 goals in their opponents in the second period.
The goaltender Peter Budaj had not yet given goal when Bouillon shot into his own net at 7:59 of the third. The back of the Canadian wanted to clear the net, but the puck is located at the top of his net. Tomas Kopecky, who was the last player to touch the Panthers puck was credited with the goal. At 13:57, Shawn Matthias has brought the Panthers to two goals with a shot at the top.
Canadian driver liked to see Ryan White demonstrate exemplary discipline first when Nolan Yonkman wanted to invite him to drop the gloves. The player Panthers finally got two minor penalties on the sequence. “We had control of the game and it was important for him to keep his composure. We did not embark on their game We’re able to play physical, but we did not fall into the abuse. ‘
The absence of ten days Brandon Prust did not seem to face the worst team in the circuit, which was not in the scope of the entire game despite two goals in the third. Florida has fired only 16 times in the direction of the Canadian cage. Prust, as we know, suffered a sprained left shoulder in Saturday’s game against Tampa Bay.
Canadians will resume Wednesday at the Bell Centre as the Ottawa Senators will be the visitors.
