Habs Heating Up, Targeting Buffalo in Playoffs

0:00On April 2, Montreal canadiens are heating up folks with a 10 win, 3 loss, 1 tie record over their last 14 games, locking down 3rd, place in the Atlantic Division. There are just 4 points behind First Place Buffalo and 2 behind Second Place Tampa Bay, and with a game in hand on the Sabers, that playoff spot. Looks solid heading into Thursday. Habspans should root for a first round matchup against Buffalo over Tampa Bay, or even Carolina if they slip to a wildcard spot. The Sabers finally ended their 14 year playoff drought, but Montreal matches their depth on defense and scoring with guys like Cole Caulfield and Nick Suzuki stepping a big. That lightning series though, it spells trouble with Tampa's killer goalies forward edge and all that cup winning experience. No Eastern team besides Florida really has right. Now, nobody wants that smoke early. Lately, Hobbs goalie, Wacoob Dobbs has been lights out, posting a 0.926 safe percentage, or better in his last six starts, including wins.

1:03Over Carolina this season, their netminders have shown cracks, giving Montreal a real shot there. Bottom line, the Canadians built smart through patience and smarts, still finding their top gear, but ready to steal a round or two against the right. In a couple weeks, they could shock the league and roll deep. That's your update from NHL News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
