PREMATCH

If the Habs will try to curb their streak of three failures, during which they conceded 17 goals, their opponents have for their part escaped five of their last six meetings. Calgary also lost 4 to 2 to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.

The Montreal team fell to eighth place in the Atlantic section due to its 4-7-1 record.

“Sometimes you just have to put your head down and keep moving forward when things aren’t going well,” said forward Alex Newhook after CH’s morning skate. It’s a tough league. It’s normal to experience sequences like this.”

“We hope we can make a difference” – Alex Newhook –

Moreover, Newhook will play on the second line alongside Jake Evans and Juraj Slafkovsky against the Flames.

“It’s exciting. I never played with Jake, pointed out the skater from Newfoundland and Labrador. Also, “Slaf” and I have a bond. It’s fun to play with him.”

In addition, head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed in the morning that goalkeeper Samuel Montembeault would get the start. The Quebecer did well in the team’s last game on Saturday, conceding two goals on 23 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Defender Justin Barron will be left out for a second meeting in a row. The Arber Xhekaj-Jayden Struble duo will once again form the third pair in Montreal’s defense.

Oliver Kapanen continues to adjust to the busy NHL schedule –

In the Alberta clan, Quebecers Jonathan Huberdeau and Anthony Mantha claim eight and seven points respectively. In net, Dan Vladar and Dustin Wolf both have a save percentage of .907. Head coach Ryan Huska’s men will visit the Boston Bruins on Thursday and the Buffalo Sabers on Saturday.
