The Canadiens finally recorded their first win on home ice this season and just their second win overall with a 5-1 victory over visiting Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
An early second period goal was enough to give the Maple Leafs an opening night win at home against the Montreal Canadiens.
Ever since his acquisition as a free agent in the summer of 2009, and the departure of longtime captain Saku Koivu, Brian Gionta has been the de facto leader of the Habs.
This game was described as a must-win game for both teams as it was pivotal in determining the momentum of the series.
After the end of the regular season it’s normal to look back on the year that was and evaluate how well the team played.
The Canadiens got two quick goals in the first period on Tuesday night vs Atlanta to end a near 200 minute scoring drought, and played a solid team game to earn their first points in over a week, defeating the Thrashers 3-1.
Tuesday’s game against Washington started off with lots of excitement with two errors resulting in early goals as well as a goal waved off all in the first five minutes of the game.
On Tuesday night, the Canadiens started much the brighter team and got out to an early lead but the Sabres were able to fight all the way back to make it even.
Thursday’s game between the Habs and Islanders was bound to be a letdown after Wednesday’s barnburner and both teams played a much tighter game with the momentum swinging back and forth all night.
