By defeating the Anaheim Ducks, the Canadian managed to stop his losing streak at four. Montrealers can thank goaltender Samuel Montembeault for saving the furniture, but we were also able to see Brendan Gallagher at ease on the first line, alongside Nick Suzuki and Alex Newhook. However, will he be able to maintain the rhythm for several matches in this “chair”? Our journalists Alexandre Pratt and Simon-Olivier Lorange discuss it with Jérémie Rainville and Antoine Roussel, from 98.5 FM. Our panelists also look into the rumors of transactions linking the Edmonton Oilers to the Habs and they even make their own suggestions.

In the Oilers position, honestly, the only player who is interesting is [Samuel] Montembeault. He is still currently in the conversation of the 20 best goaltenders in the National League.
Alexander Pratt
Brendan Gallagher is more of a finisherit is not he who will generate the attack as such […] And this year, it is the Canadian player who, at five on five, generates the most chances to score, ahead of Cole Caufield.
Simon-Olivier Lorange
For me, Alex Newhook is a player who will score 40 points per season for a long time, which is very good. You need 40-point players on the second and third lines of your team.
