Montreal Canadiens
CanadaMontrealare having an extremely poor season. They are currently on a losing streak of seven games, most of which ended in regulation. The Canadiens managed to put up a fight against Nashville, but still lost in overtime (3:4 OT).

Montreal haven't been able to capitalize on home advantage this season. In their last three home games, they lost to Chicago (0:2), Tampa (2:3), and Colorado (1:4).

In the following match, the Flyers recorded a victory over Arizona (5:3), and back at home, they crushed New Jersey (6:1). Forward Atkinson deserved high praise for his performance against the Devils - he gave an assist and scored a hat-trick.
