The Montreal Canadiens hosted the New York Rangers on Tuesday at the Bell Centre, a rather difficult challenge for Martin St-Louis’ troops, to say the least. New York has a great special teams, a fantastic goalie, and star players in the mix, while the Habs are attempting to climb out of the NHL’s basement for the first time in a few years.
Predictably, things went terrible wrong for the Canadiens in the early parts of the game, with the Rangers quickly establishing a 4-0 lead. The Habs fought back thanks to a pair of goals from their captain, but it was all for naught, as New York emerged with a 7-2 win.
There was some unfortunate news from a health perspective, as Justin Barron had to leave the game when Jacob Trouba landed the 238th headshot of his career.

There’s a lot to discuss, so let’s dive into it!
Monty Gets The Hook
We don’t need to sugarcoat the fact that goaltender Samuel Montembeault had a difficult game. The Canadiens were out chanced significantly when evaluating high-danger opportunities, but that doesn’t erase Montembeault’s poor performance.
On the flip side of the coin, given how often Montembeault kept his team in games over the last few seasons, we can certainly afford to not overreact about one bad goaltending period. Statistically speaking, Montembeault has been this team’s MVP for two years running.
