All the latest Montreal Canadiens news, highlights, and stories from this past weekend.

Habs News

  • Top prospects Filip Mesar and Owen Beck continue to enjoy very solid Draft + 2 seasons in the OHL. It helps that both players are currently on strong teams, but they’re a big part of why the Kitchener Rangers and Peterborough Petes are enjoying so much success.

  • Saturday night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres epitomized entertainment. Jayden Struble scored his first career goal, Cayden Primeau made dozens of high-danger saves, and Juraj Slafkovsky got into a fight. Oh, and he also won the game with a great move in the shootout.

  • The Montreal Canadiens followed up their win with a very strong effort against the Nashville Predators. They had significantly more scoring chances. They also controlled the play for most of the game. But another poor start and a lifeless powerplay cost them in the 2-1 loss. [Ice-Cold Powerplay Costs Canadiens In Loss To Predators]
  • There was some bad news on the injury front. Again. Tanner Pearson is going to miss four to six weeks due to an upper-body injury. He took a puck to the hand in Saturday’s game against the Sabres.
