Latest news and updates about the Canadiens
Thursday night at The Rock was an early-season heavyweight matchup. The New Jersey Devils entered with 18 points and a .692 points percentage, both tops in the Metropolitan Division. Their opponents, the Montreal Canadiens, entered with 19 points and a .731 points percentage, both tops in the entire Eastern Conference (and second in the entire […]
First period Josh Anderson skates the puck down the wing with Joe Veleno heading to the net, but no pass comes, and that line continues to accomplish very little on the ice. Cody Glass opens the scoring after Alex Newhook and Oliver Kapanen collided at the Montreal blue line, giving him space to enter the zone and get an off-wing shot on goal. The Canadiens keep the shooting percentage perfect in this game as Kirby Dach has a shot from Noah Dobson flip up off of him high in th...

The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off one of the most exciting games of their young season after winning and losing and then winning again against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre. And because of that powerful performance, head coach Rick Tocchet is going with the same lineup — an untouched roster to hopefully get another two points over the Nashville Predators. The last time these two teams met in this season was just a week ago and the Flyers earned a 4-1 win thanks to two goa...
Last Devils Game On Sunday, the Devils finished up their 4 game road trip with a 4-1 loss to Anaheim. The Ducks scored early in the first period and added a second goal before the period was over. By the end of the 2nd period, the Ducks were up 3-0. Jack Hughes added his 10th […]

Tuesday night saw the first matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers this season, and it couldn’t have gone any worse for the home side in the opening minutes. Digging themselves a deep three-goal hole inside of the first 10 minutes, they had to fight their way back into the game during the second period, despite playing some of their roughest-looking hockey at even strength. Thanks to the Habs’ young skill players, and some timely power play goals, they were able to...

It was a great first period and a terrible second, but the Flyers rallied showed some character and defeated the host Montreal Canadiens 5-4 in a shootout Tuesday night. The basics First period: 1:56- Bobby Brink (Travis Sanheim, Cam York), 7:07- Cam York (Trevor Zegras, Travis Konecny) (PPG), 7:50- Bobby Brink (Noah Cates, Trevor Zegras) (PPG) Second period: 3:11- Kirby Dach (Noah Dobson, Brendan Gallagher), 4:15- Nick Suzuki (Ivan Demidov, Cole Caulfield) (PPG), 13:28- Kirby Dach (...
Garrett Rank is officiating this game, so brace accordingly. First period Despite Montreal spending the opening two shifts in the offensive zone, the first shot of the game goes to the Flyers, and a tip in the high slot from Bobby Brink gets past Samuel Montembeault. Montreal attempts to do something similar with a pass off Alex Newhook’s stick, but the puck goes off the post. He did that in the last game as well, so we’ll see what his final word is this evening. M...
Game 13: Montreal Canadiens vs. Philadelphia Flyers Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Flyers region: NBCSP Streaming: ESPN+, TSN+ It wasn’t the type of performance from Samuel Montembeault on Saturday night that put an end to concerns about his play this season, but it was the first time in four starts that he allowed fewer than four goals, and it did come with a win, and those were at least signs of progress. Now, ...
The Flyers didn’t fare so well over their weekend back-to-back against the Leafs and the Flames, picking up a pair of pretty uninspiring losses (and looking, truly, perhaps the worst they have all season on Sunday). They’re in a bit of a spiral here, looking for answers as their process has broken down a bit, and they’re looking to stop the bleeding and get things back on track in short order, taking advantage of the opportunity for a reset that a trip up to Montreal can offer them. Puck ...
The Philadelphia Flyers open up a quick two-game road trip up in Montreal on Tuesday night, and they’re doing so without Tyson Foerster. The Flyers placed the winger on injured reserve prior to Sunday night’s loss to the Calgary Flames. Without Foerster, Rick Tocchet tried to keep the magic of the Noah Cates line together with Owen Tippett joining Bobby Brink on the wing, but that was short-lived as the lines were thrown into the blender for the third period. Flyers lineup vs. Canadi...

We were a little late getting to the podcast version this month, but myself and Patrik Bexell got together to discuss EOTP’s selections for the players of the month in the Montreal Canadiens system. Starting at the top, we have Cole Caufield. While this easily could have gone to his linemate Nick Suzuki, or his goaltender Jakub Dobes, there was no denying the brilliance of Caufield in October. We feel that the mere fact Suzuki can be in the top five for NHL scoring and still have another ...

The Montreal Canadiens extended their latest win streak to three games on Saturday night, with a second-straight of the overtime variety against the Ottawa Senators. They had to overcome some adversity once again, tying the game late in the third period to force the extra period before Alex Newhook iced it. As of this writing, they remain at the top of the standings in the Atlantic Division. There was a lot to discuss from that game; the Habs looking like the better team at five-on-five, ...

First period I miss Ray Ferraro already. The crowd is very quiet to begin this game. I guess they don’t know if they’ll be cheering a goal or a fight first. There also isn’t a whole going on to get excited about yet. The play is sloppy on both sides. Matheson has a breakout pass go awry, but Samuel Montembeault is there to make the save. It’s a big save, because moments later Cole Caufield gets a breakaway, and he squeaks the puck through the pads of Linus Ullmark, w...
On November 1st in 1959, Jacques Plante took a wrist shot in the face from Hart winner Andy Bathgate. Seven stitches and 21 minutes later, Plante returned wearing a mask to the chagrin of Canadiens coach Toe Blake, forever changing the face of NHL goaltending. Plante had been using the homemade mask during practices but no goalie ever wore one in a game. Despite Blake's protest, Plante
