Canadiens Heat Up, Caufield's On Fire

0:00On March 29th, the Montreal Canadiens are heating up just as the regular season wraps up, battling for that third spot in the Atlantic Division with A, record of 41 wins, 21 losses and 10 overtime losses. They're on a four game winning streak, including a solid 4-1 beat down of the National Predators last night. Boston's right on their tail, so every point counts. Cole coffields on a tear, sniping his 45th goal against Nashville, putting him in rare company as the first have to hit that mark since the late 80s. Nick Suzuki's leading with 88 points and young defenseman Lane Hudson just notched his 60th assist, joining legends like Bobby Orrand. Paul Coffey as only the third blueliner to do multiple 60 assists seasons before age 23. In net, the kids are taking over. Jacob Doves has been lights out with a 0.926 save percentage over the last three weeks, stealing the starter roll. Rookie Jacob Fowler impressed two, stopping 23 of 24 shots versus Nashville.

Management's getting props for prioritizing the hottest lineup, no matter the contracts. This week's a gauntlet, wrapping a tough 5-game road swing starting tonight at 5 p.m. against Carolina, then Tampa Bay on Tuesday at 7 new. York Rangers Thursday at 7, New Jersey away, Saturday at 7, and home Sunday at 7. Split this in their prime for the playoffs. That's your update from NHO News today, powered by AI.
