It was still going well for the Canadian a month ago, and then now it’s not going at all.
Why ? In the Montreal locker room, no one seems to know the answer, but everyone is looking for it.
“I think we played a lot better in our last game. [jeudi, contre les Rangers de New York au Centre Bell]. We now have to build from that, and try to regain our momentum, ”explained defender Jordan Harris Saturday morning in the Montreal locker room.

The Canadian will try to find a lot of business when the St. Louis Blues visit on Saturday night. Regain your pride, no doubt, but also find the path to victory.
It should be remembered here that the Montreal club has won only one victory in its last 10 games…
“We have to start by clearing our territory, worrying about our defensive game, added Harris. That’s the first thing. Then everything will settle down. We have to simplify things and get the puck out of our territory. Our performance on Thursday night was a step in the right direction in this regard. »
There was nothing new in training for the Canadiens on Saturday morning, so the absentees for Saturday night are already known, including the injured Guhle, Gallagher and Monahan, to name a few.
Fortunately for the Canadian, the injured list on the side of the Blues is even longer.
“They have several injuries, but it’s a club that plays well and remains dangerous,” said forward Cole Caufield.
It is Jake Allen who will be in front of the Montreal net.
