The Habs put forth two fairly strong outings last week along with one poor one. As it turned out, they lost the games they played well in and won the one that they didn’t.

After a hard-fought loss in Florida, the Habs looked to leave the Sunshine State on a winning note as they visited Tampa Bay on Saturday. Once again, they kept pace for long stretches but the end result was the same 4-3 shootout defeat.

The Habs have already made one move of significance leading up to next week’s trade deadline. Who might be the next to go? Our writers offer up their predictions.

Tuesday was a matchup between a team on a long losing streak and one on a really long losing streak. Montreal, of course, had the shorter one and put it to an end with a 4-2 victory over Arizona.

The Habs had a three-in-four set this past week and while they didn’t play all that poorly in any of them, they ultimately came up short in all three, failing to record a point while extending their losing streak to five straight.

The Habs played one of their more defensively-sound games on Saturday afternoon in New Jersey but it wasn’t quite enough as the Devils skated away with the 4-3 victory.

A hallmark of a young team is that they can sometimes struggle when momentum shifts to their opponent. That’s exactly what happened to the Habs on Thursday night as they fell 4-1 to Pittsburgh.

Montreal made a pair of roster moves before their game tonight in Pittsburgh.  First, they claimed centre Colin White off waivers from the Penguins.  Brandon Gignac was placed on waivers in a corresponding move.

The Habs looked to kick off their week on a winning note as they hosted Buffalo on Wednesday night. It was a chippy affair and while Montreal led for a good chunk of the game, they came up a goal short as the Sabres won 3-2.
