Game Expectations |
The Habs need to keep winning if they want to climb the standings at all. All three teams ahead of the Habs keep winning or earning the loser point making it hard for the Habs to gain any ground. Again this is a winnable game and the Habs have to find a way to get these two points.
Bottom LineIt’s worth noting the Habs are tied for the least amount of regulation losses this season but are second for extra time losses. Getting that extra point could be the difference in making the playoffs or not. |
