While the Habs ended last week on a high note, the positive vibes ended there as they failed to pick up a win in three home games while picking up just a single point in the standings. Things weren’t any better in Laval either as the Rocket suffered the same fate.

Montreal was outplayed for the entire 60 minutes on Saturday night, losing 6-2 at the hands of the Oilers. They’ll have plenty of work and thinking to do over the four-day break that is now awarded to them.

In a game that included little scoring chances and passion, the Habs were unable to take advantage of a tired Flames team as they let a point slip away with a 3-2 overtime loss on Thursday night.

The win streak is over as the Habs fell 4-3 to the Blues in a game that was much closer than it should have been. The Blues dominated play with effective forechecking and Western Conference-style physicality for which the Habs had very little answer other than Carey Price.

In a game that was over almost as soon as the first puck was dropped, the Habs throttled the Wings 10-1 on Saturday night with all four lines getting in on the action and some unlikely heroes taking care of business.
