Even if he has just amassed three points out of a possible four since the beginning of his trip, the Canadian continues to lose feathers and no longer finds his level of play of the first two months of the season. The effect of the injuries is starting to be felt, especially that of Sean Monahan, who has been absent for more than two weeks now.
While talk of a hole in the middle, Bo Horvat’s future is more uncertain than ever in Vancouver. Our guests, however, all believe that the Habs should pass. Despite a collective decline in CH performance, Anthony Richard’s game caught the eye. The Quebecer scored his first NHL goal on Wednesday and is making the most of his chance. His recall, at 26, is also a positive message sent to the players of the school club, underlines Antoine Roussel.

The Canadian’s slowdown also coincides with the absence of Sean Monahan. It seems like we tend to forget about it, but it still left quite a hole in the lineup.
Guillaume Lefrancois
The strong core with which the Canadian will make his next push, he is younger [que Bo Horvat]. And when this nucleus will be 27 years old, I’m talking about the Suzukis, Caufields, Guhles and company, Horvat will be 33, 34.
