This was Jakub Dobes’ first game on a Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Yesterday, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard was recalled by the Canadiens and it was expected that he would play tonight. Especially considering Pezzetta’s limited ice time and the uncertain statuses of Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson.
The Habs’ lineup during warm-ups. Recalled from the Laval Rocket, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard will not play against the Devils. Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky Newhook-Dach-Laine Anderson-Evans-Armia Pezzetta-Dvorak-Gallagher Hutson-Matheson Guhle-Carrier Xhekaj-Savard Dobes Montembeault — J-F Chaumont (@JFChaumontLNH) Martin St-Louis’s squad was really not in the game at the start.
Beautiful A thing of beauty — Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) Jakub Dobes bounced back well after being disappointed by the Devils’ second goal, making some key saves, but New Jersey managed to regain a two-goal lead. Cole-ine of how beautiful that was Omg NiCole — Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) His 1st goal as a Hab! His 1st goal as a Hab! — Canadiens Montréal (@CanadiensMTL) Following this goal, the Devils buzzed constantly in the Habs’ zone. Several quality shots were stopped by Dobes in the third period, who was unyielding since Tatar’s goal.
The Habs’ next game will be on Tuesday when Patrik Laine will have the chance to play against the Winnipeg Jets. – We know that Lane Hutson is extremely dangerous offensively, especially when he has the puck. Many doubted his defensive effectiveness, but the more you watch him play in his zone, the more you realize he’s really not that bad.
In fact, he’s quite good, and he proved it once again tonight. The little defender blocked no less than six shots in the game. Carrier also demonstrated his great utility defensively, having blocked six shots as well.
– Not only is the captain racking up points in abundance since the start of the season, but you have to look at his overall play to understand that everything he does, he does it wonderfully. His intelligence is definitely his best asset. captain Nick Suzuki makes so many great little plays every game at both ends of the ice.
Such a smart player with no wasted effort on the ice. — Stu Cowan (@StuCowan1) – As mentioned by Stu Cowan, Juraj Slafkovsky is increasingly beginning to use his large size to his advantage, and it’s paying off more and more. We saw it, among other things, on Suzuki’s goal, where he battled well along the boards, which eventually led to the captain’s goal.
Great work by Slafkovsky keeps this play alive, and then Cole Caufield finds Nick Suzuki in the slot. Devils lead cut to just one. — Marc Dumont (@MarcPDumont).
