Lars Eller

Thomas Plekanec

Tomas Plekanec has finally settled the debate with a low shot from the side of the glove of Marc-Andre Fleury.

Carey Price was then held up against Jason Williams to lift the fans. Before the decisive goal, Evgeni Malkin and Rene Bourque donned spectuculaires the goals of this long session.

The Canadians, who has a record of 2-7 in a shootout, thus avoiding a sweep of four games against the Penguins this season.

Thanks to goals from Pascal Dupuis and James Neal, the Penguins tied the game twice in the third period and they forced the holding of a third tiebreaker in four games against the training.

Louis Leblanc and Lars Eller, a gaffe Fleury scored the goals in regulation of the Habs part of this very robust. Penguins goaltender seemed on track to come close to perfection with some players frustrated with Plekanec and Erik Cole.

Clearly dominated the Habs in overtime and David Desharnais missed a golden chance to open net.

At the end of the third period, Kristopher Letang rushed on PK Subban who roughed up  Evgeni Malkin along with Mathieu Darche. Subban was left to do a pirouette on the ice following a decision worthy of judo Nicolas Gill from Letang.

Travis Moen was renewing the action after an absence of five parts and has done a good job defensively against Evgeni Malkin.

The Canadiens once again excelled outnumbered by not giving anything to the Penguins on three occasions.

Against the Penguins, the Canadiens will always be private services for Travis Moen. The latter took part in training on Tuesday but could not participate in contact drills.

For his part, Andrei Markov, who is still recovering from a knee injury, skated solo for sixty minutes.

To leave the 14th largest of the Eastern Conference, the Penguins beat the Canadiens will have to remain deprived of their captain Sidney Crosby.

Currently, the Habs found themselves 11 points for eighth place while the clock is ticking. After the duel, the Canadiens will have 28 games to play before the conclusion of the calendar.

The troupe Dan Bylsma is one of the teams that harmed the Canadiens this season thanks to two loses on January 20 and November 26.

The Penguins have dropped two of their last three games, but they still occupy the fifth level in the east. They are also encouraged by the fact that Crosby took part Monday in Montreal, his first full workout since his last team in decline in his fitness.

Randy Cunneyworth men have found a way to launder the Jets on Sunday with 23 saves for Carey Price and the goals from Max Pacioretty, Tomas Plekanec and Alexei Emelin.

This time, the defense of the Habs should be closely monitored including Evgeni Malkin, the leading scorer in the NHL with 29 goals and 32 assists in 46 games.

Erik Cole dominates pointers of the Canadiens with 39 points ahead of Max Pacioretty (38 points), Tomas Plekanec (36 points) and David Desharnais (36 points).

Monday, the Canadiens assigned forwards Ryan White (fitness) and Aaron Palushaj to the Hamilton Bulldogs. For his part, Travis Moen could make a comeback

To the Canadiens, recall that Hal Gill, Travis Moen, Chris Campoli, Andrei Kostitsyn and Yannick Weber interested teams.

Rumor transaction – Andreas Engqvist

Personally, I would add the name of Andreas Engqvist on the list of players that could change your address. It does not come from one source, that is my opinion. Periodically, the Habs has exchanged his players that got some good chances with the big club without playing to the gallery. Consider D ‘Agostini, Ben Maxwell. Andreas Engqvist does not seem to find his place in the Habs. His stats are 0 points in 10 games this season. If you can exchange it against a player of similar caliber in Quebec, why not? Or 7th round pick. In short, I would not be surprised that he was involved in a transaction by the trade deadline.

Hot or Not the complete PK Subban?

White is therefore close to a comeback after surgery for a sports hernia. His last game dates back to April 27 in the playoffs against the Bruins. He recorded seven points (two goals and five assists) in 43 NHL games.

As for Palushaj, he brought reinforcements to the parties of the weekend against the Capitals and the Jets. He collected using a 17-games with the Canadiens this season. Recalled on February 3, the striker 22 years old dominates the Bulldogs with 28 points (13 goals and 15 assists) in 29 games this season.

The Canadians host the Penguins Tuesday before visiting the Islanders on Thursday and the Maple Leafs Saturday.

Travis Moen should be able to resume the action in the coming days.

But we understand the Czech center player – also not very convincing in his remarks Sunday – to cling to some hope remains.

However, the weeks go by, but the Habs remain mired. Saturday night, he even reached rock bottom by being relegated to last place in the association – the first one say after mid-season since the NHL has created two groups in 1974-1975. He just barely the head of a barrel, Sunday, defeating the Winnipeg Jets 3-0, to double the Carolina Hurricanes … in 14th place! Both teams have the same points total, 49 but the Habs has a game in hand.

Result: the troopers of coach Randy Cunneyworth will begin their three-game week, Tuesday, blaming a delay of 11 points on the holders of the eighth position in the East, the Toronto Maple Leafs. A gap is growing.

The visit of the Pittsburgh Penguins without Sidney Crosby, will set the stage for a sequence of eight games in 15 days. February 21, therefore, it may well be, if the trend continues, we almost went to play only for the honor.

Especially since there is no evidence of a sudden upturn heralds. Since early 2012, the Canadiens won two games, then lost three, won one and lost two, won two others, but escaped the next three, before laundering the Jets.

A quick calculation and found to win is the equivalent of 23 of its last 29 games to reach a total of 95 points!

“We still have several games left and there are a lot of character in this group, stressed Plekanec in the locker room Sunday. We will do our best to stick wins, back in the portrait series. ”

This is far from a team that should be remembered, had a single sequence of four wins this season – his longest – between October 26 and November 4. But …

After receiving the Penguins (30-19-4), who suffered only their second defeat in 11 outings Sunday, the Canadiens will face the New York Islanders in Uniondale, Thursday, and the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Saturday.

This will be his third bout against the Islanders, the teams having split the first two honors by winning every home.

And it will be the fourth confrontation against the Maple Leafs. After losing 2-0 and 5-4 in the shootout, the Canadiens won the most recent clash, 3-1, on Jan. 21 in Toronto.

Next week, the Habs will have a busy schedule. It will host the Carolina Hurricanes, Monday, and the Boston Bruins on Wednesday before going to compete with the Buffalo Sabres on Friday and return to the Bell Centre for the passage of the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.

The Habs will complete its series of eight games in 15 days, two days later, receiving the Dallas Stars.

The Canadiens defeated the Winnipeg Jets in the score of 3-0 in Super Bowl Sunday at the Bell Centre.

The Canadians have  finally put an end to a sequence of three defeats, by signing a third victory in four games this season against the Jets.

After offering a dismal performance Saturday against Washington, Randy Cunneyworth men were significantly more energetic to exit the bottom of the cellar in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens have 49 points in the standings as Carolina, but the Canadian has one more game to play.

“It’s psychological across the board. This is really it,” said the coach when he was asked how a team could regroup after a poor performance.

Scott Gomez has just passed the milestone of one year without scoring, having put on his last thread 365 days ago against the New York Rangers. The native of Alaska has really thought that his ordeal would end on the third goal of his, who was credited with Tomas Plekanec. He also took several minutes before getting confirmation of the order and timing of the announcement, some fans booed the announcement of Michael Lacroix, so many wanted to witness the first place on goal in one year man of seven million.

End of the game, while the Jets had withdrawn their goalie Ondrej Pavelec, fans chanted the name of Gomez to encourage the coach to send him on the ice to give him one last chance to stop his embarrassing lethargy. With use of 10:28, Gomez proved to be the player uses the least Cunneyworth.

“Scott is a proud athlete and we all bear, said the winger Mathieu Darche. Surely it must affect it (its sequence profit), but we do not talk about it. It ‘ is not like he did on purpose, he tries. That said, fans pay to watch the game and they can act however they want. Several encourage it, but others are sarcastic. I’m not saying that ‘they are not nice. Personally, I would not have a sarcastic attitude. ”

Plekanec also picked up a pass, first to sign a two-point game since Dec. 27.

“We kept things simple, added Darche.Ce which is frustrating is that we know what to do and we have guys to do it, but it does not do all the time.”

Goaltender Carey Price was solid in his cage, blocking 23 shots to sign a third shutout this season and 15th career. Price was severely tested in the third period and he managed to literally fly Antti Miettinen with his glove.

“The way we played for almost the entire game is the result of what we preached, said Cunneyworth. It is expected that they work as hard at each of their presence on the ice. Parts, it is more difficult. Do not be afraid to go in heavy traffic. ”

In the first period, Max Pacioretty had found the back of the net at 18:02 to put the Canadiens ahead by a goal after 20 minutes. Shorthanded, defenseman Alexei Emelin came to support his attack to complete a climb to two against one to bring the score to 2-0 for his second of the season.

“Emelin make better decisions and less hesitant, said the Canadiens coach. His physical game is exactly what we need.”
