Without injured first-line forwards Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog along with some other key contributors, this is not the same Colorado Avalanche team that lifted Lord Stanley's Cup over their heads at the end of the 2021-22 season. However, Colorado is still managing to pick up points with four wins in the last five games. The Montreal…

Despite missing star Patrice Bergeron, the Bruins are still winning games and dominating possession. Their roster is in flux with today's trade deadline - but not as much as the Habs, who keep losing bodies and won't be able to hang with Boston tonight. After a spirited two-week stretch of winning hockey, the Montreal Canadiens are back to looking…

The Anaheim Ducks (7-20-3) are the worst team in the NHL this season.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Canadiens were about to line up for the opening faceoff of the third period Thursday in a 1-1 tie with the Buffalo Sabres, when Nick Suzuki decided to pay a little visit to an unlikely visitor. He skated over to rookie defenceman Kaiden Guhle and gave him a task. "Zukes came up to me and said, 'It would be a good time to score…

The Tampa Bay Lightning are slight -104 moneyline favorites to beat the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of their second round NHL Playoff series, but there is plenty of value in betting the Hurricanes. Game 1 was evenly played, and Carolina outshot Tampa Bay 38-30. The Hurricanes controlled play early in the game. Don't forget that the Hurricanes…

The 2021-22 NHL Season was the chalkiest we've seen in the Salary Cap Era. Not only did the consensus preseason favorite win the Stanley Cup, but the chalk also won 64.8% of games in the regular season (per Action Labs), which is the highest win rate for NHL favorites since at least 2005-06. So what better way to dip our toes in the NHL waters than…

The Montreal Canadiens are in an enviable position, with priority selecting players off waivers until Nov. 1. However, to benefit, they have to use it just right, targeting players at specific positions, players with specific profiles to boot. To do otherwise would be to arguably squander the advantage altogether. As teams finalize their rosters to…

The Montreal Canadiens' run to the 2021 Stanley Cup Final was the ultimate underdog story. Montreal barely got into the playoffs and stunned favored Toronto and Las Vegas before the dream run ended in five games to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Montreal fans should hold onto those memories for as long as possible because it could be a while before the…

Montreal Canadiens training camp has been very fast paced and competitive thus far. Having finished dead last in the standings last season, they find themselves in a situation where changes are to be expected. After all, it is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,…

BROSSARD - Prospects like Kaiden Guhle and Arber Xhekaj may act coy when asked about the openings on the Canadiens blue line this season, but rest assured, they're well aware of what's at stake. As it stands, Kaiden Guhle seems to be pencilled as the front runner for one of the jobs, as well as Justin Barron, whose greatest advantage doesn't…

MONTREAL - It's Day 1 of a new Montreal Canadiens season with nowhere for the team to go but up. They finished in 32 place last year - in the unenviable position of having to stare up at every other team in the NHL - and though the brass wouldn't mind if they repeated the feat for the best odds at landing generational talent Connor Bedard to add to…

With training camp just weeks away, the Montreal Canadiens have many unanswered questions regarding players and their lineup. These questions range from who will make the team out of camp, and who will be on the team by Christmas to who will have success, and who will flounder. Here is a look at the five most pressing questions going into the start…

A year ago, if we were going to give name to the three stars of the NHL trade deadline, Jarmo Kekalainen would have been named one of them. It's not nearly as much fun selling as it is the other way around, but the Blue Jackets GM's haul for pending UFAs David Savard and Nick Foligno was podium-worthy. I was not convinced either pending UFA would…

We all remember the dramatic farewell of a champion. The supposed farewell. "This team... knowing that it wasn't going to be together, this was the end of a special group for two years," said an emotional Jon Cooper, head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, after winning a second straight Stanley Cup last year. "That was a huge motivator for our…
