“We are aware that the Canadian is going through a good sequence and that he climbs in the classification,” says Brisebois. We see that there is more and more competition with good teams in the NHL. This is what makes the Job of Managing Director as difficult as it is interesting. ”

Due to a formidable push initiated in mid-December, CH is now one of the clubs that play the elbow with the Lightning in the Atlantic, just like the Senators of Ottawa and the Boston Bruins. If he is wary of the other training courses, Brisebois is concentrated first and foremost on the situation of the lightning, especially since the deadline for transactions quickly, on March 7.

A great parity in the east

Welcoming the New Jersey Devils on Saturday at the Bell Center, the Canadian remains at the height of the battle. In addition to senators and Bruins, Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers and Philadelphia flyers are also “in the mix». As for the lightning, he will try to add two precious points to the classification in order to resume third place in the Atlantic section on Friday evening in Chicago, against the Blackhawks.
