Carey Price was all alone on Monday night as the Bruins dominated the Habs with apparent ease en route to a 4-0 victory in Montreal’s final home game of 2018.

After an ugly start to the week, the Habs rebounded well as a pair of high-scoring third periods propelled them to two victories to end their week on a winning note.

After a wild win on Thursday, the Habs headed into Saturday night looking to wrap up the week on a high note as they hosted Ottawa. They saved their best for last, using a four-goal surge in the third period to beat the Sens 5-2 for the third time in less than two weeks.

The floodgates opened in the third period on Thursday but the Habs once again bounced back from a terrible outing on Tuesday to claim a 6-4 victory over the Hurricanes.

What happens when Antti Niemi plays his first game in weeks on the same night that the team absolutely mails it in? If you guessed a 7-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night, you’d be very accurate in your assessment.

The Habs rebounded quite nicely this past week, picking up wins in all three of their games to give themselves a small cushion on a playoff position.

Following a strong showing on the road in Ottawa, the Habs went to Chicago on Sunday looking to make it two straight road victories. It was far from a pretty effort but the penalty kill stepped up to help Montreal get a 3-2 win.

With Noah Juulsen nearing a return to the lineup, the Habs needed to free up a roster spot and Xavier Ouellet was the casualty. He cleared waivers on Saturday, paving the way for the Habs to send him to Laval.

Carey Price kept the Habs in the game as the Sens played an intense first period on Thursday night. The Habs took over for the last 40 minutes of play and were rewarded with a 5-2 road win to sweep the mini-series.
