The Canadian ended the year 2024 in style yesterday, to say the least.
With its great 3 to 2 victory over the Golden Knights in Vegas, the troop of Martin St. Louis signed a sixth victory in its last seven matches. His last three victories on the road, back to back against the powerful Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning and Vegas Golden Knights, were frankly impressive.
Moreover, the reaction of the head coach after the game said a lot about the current state of mind of the group which has not given up on its season at all.
He, whose recent addition of a beard to his face seems to bring good luck to the team, exploded with joy after seeing his men hold off the Knights late in the match after a three-goal comeback without response.
Thanks to this victory, the Canadian is now playing for .500 with a record of 17-17-3 and 37 points in 37 games.
It is in 23rd position in the general classification that he finds himself this morning, only three points from a place in the playoffs.
We can therefore imagine that the beard is not ready to leave with such a sequence.
The team’s next game will take place next Friday when the players will head to Chicago to face the Blackhawks on their road trip.
