The Canadian is currently on an excellent streak with an 8-2-0 record in his last 10 games.
The troop of Martin St. Louis has also won two of its last three games, against the Colorado Avalanche in a shootout and the Vancouver Canucks in overtime, in the absence of two two important pieces, namely the star forward Patrik Laine (flu symptoms) and the veteran defender David Savard (upper body injury).
The only loss during this streak came in CHicago against the Blackhawks last weekend.
With a well-deserved three-day break, the CH will not be in action until next Friday when they will fly to Washington to face Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.
According to what is reported Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sportswe should have good news in the case of Laine, who should be able to make a return to the game. This is what he said this morning during his appearance on the airwaves of BPM Sports.
Let’s see if the next few days will be enough for Savard to be able to make a comeback as well, but the head coach will at least have one more weapon at his disposal to use on his power play.
More details will follow.
