Montreal killed four third period penalties and then capitalized on a late goal. He has not had the best season, but on Sunday night, those who wanted Carey Price to steal a game finally got what they were asking for.

A parade to the penalty box, for both teams, led to under seven minutes of even strength hockey in the third period and even that included some play with...

The rookie on the verge of a breakout, and the Canadiens need to capitalize on it. The Montreal Canadiens are surprising a lot of people this season.

While Max Domi and Jonathan Drouin have been firmly in the limelight for their outstanding efforts so far, and the trio of Brendan Gallagher, Phillip Danault, and Tomas Tatar continue to be a force, there is one more surprising piece of the team that should garner more...
