While Tampa continued the streak of misery of the New York Rangers by winning 6 to 2, the CH had a superb effort against the Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers, winning 4 to 0.
Young Habs goalie Jakub Dobes, recently recalled from the Laval Rocket, was one of the heroes of the day by recording a shutout in his first NHL start.
The Canadian was also able to benefit from a great effort from center Kirby Dach, author of a double and a match reminiscent of his best moments in the NHL.
If the CH, which has won four of its last five matches, is perhaps at its best since the start of the season, the challenge is significant today, since Tampa has won eight of its last ten duels.
It is Samuel Montembeault who should resume his position in front of the Montreal cage.
