Montreal suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to Washington on Wednesday, its 11th defeat in 14 games. Even though the Canadiens lost they still got a much needed point that will put the Habs 1 point up on the Florida Panthers(They sit in 7th in the east) and the Buffalo Sabers(who sits in 8th in the east).In my opinion the Habs should have got the full 2 points in the game as they were out working the Caps in every which way or form.Plekanec even hit the post in overtime.Carey Price made 32 saves on Wednesday in the lose.Mathieu Schneider got 1 assist in his first game back on the Habs since 1994.As for Alex Kovalev he was told to sit home for the last 2 games of this very long Habs road trip."I'm nobody, I don't control anything here," Kovalev said. "All I can promise is hopefully I can come back and play better and help my team...I have no choice," Kovalev said.
As for the Penguins they hired a new coach Dan Bylsma on Sunday. He made his Penguins debut on Family day(Where the Penguins lost in the shootout against the Islanders)."He's really detailed in his systems, and I mean the systems are going to be a drastic change from what we were playing before," Pen's defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "The mentality is he just wants us to be a lot more aggressive in every zone, play on your toes and play with confidence, don't go out there playing not to make mistakes."The puck drop for tonights game will be at 7:08pm E.T on FSN-P,RDS and CBC.
