Montreal skates into Cowtown having lost back-to-back games. It’s been something of a rollercoaster ride this year, but there have been more ups than downs. The Habs are third in the league at 2.29 goals allowed per game. Carey Price is fourth in save percentage at .928, which is good because Montreal allows 30.5 shots per game. That’s No. 23 out of the 30 teams.
The Jackets, also in a two-game mini-slump, are even looser at 33.4 shots allowed per game (No. 27 overall). But with Sergei Bobrovsky (.914 SV%) as their No. 1 goalie, they’re giving up 3.25 goals per game. Only four teams have been more porous this year.
