Montreal Canadiens Crush Predators, Demidov Shines

0:00Montreal canadians just crushed the national predators 4-1 on the road, grabbing their four straight win and showing total control from Puck. Drop. Ivan Dmitov lit it up early with his 16th goal of the season, a sniper shot to the far side, and he's tied for the rookie lead at 56. Points alongside Beckett Sinekka and Matthew Schaeffer. Demidoff stepping up big time, getting comfy holding the puck in open ice and creating high danger chances. Four in the first period alone. Coach Martin St. Louis loves his defensive commitment too, nailing those non-negotiables before flashy offense. This growth hits perfect as the Habsleen less on their top line. The second line delivered with Demidoff speeding through for an icing win, setting up Oliver Coppenen's 22nd goal, then Alex Newhook tapped one. In after Demidoff rang the post, top trio of Nick Suzuki, Cole Caulfield, and Jarash Laufkowski, at a Caulfield's 45th on a slick five hole feed, those three own 22 goals.

1:01In 12 games reunited, Jacob Fowler owned the net, stopping 24 of 25 shots with killer advanced stats across lines and pairs. No weak spots for Montreal in this domination. Prospects mixed, Michigan's Michael Hage sat with a leg shot injury, but Wolverine's advance without him, eyes on Sunday's final for NHL timing. Rice Pickford scored for medicine hat, but rested late. Coach says it's precautionary. Habs rolling into Carolina tomorrow, momentum building.
