MHN Puck Links: Monty Steals Another Point, Goalie Trade Rumors

There was no word in the Las Vegas Police blotter on Sam Montembeault so apparently, the Montreal Canadiens goalie made it out of Vegas after stealing another point for the Habs.

Could the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens actually hook up on the NHL trade market?

Is it time to blow it all up with the Edmonton Oilers?

That and more in the latest MHN Puck Links:

Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens almost stole another two points thanks to goalie Sam Montembeault but in the end, Shea Theodore and the Vegas Golden Knights pulled out the 4-3 overtime win. (MHN)

Montenbeault’s sudden lights-out goaltending has come at a good time for the Montreal Canadiens because they found out after the game Thursday, goalie Jake Allen will be out for the next eight weeks. (MHN)

The winds of change will be blowing through the Montreal Canadiens soon but winger Josh Anderson made it clear Thursday that if the Habs want him around for the retool, he’s in for the long haul. (MHN)

Could the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens pull off their first trade in 21 years before the March 21 NHL Trade Deadline? (MHN)
