Obviously, I'm really disappointed by some of the efforts that we've had,"Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau told Canadiens.nhl.com yeaterday.Montreal has averaged 2.54 goals against in going 12-14-2 on the road compared with 3.26 and a 17-6-4 home record."It's been going on for a while, and for the last three games, the way we've done it, it's not fun to be a part of," captain Saku Koivu said. "I don't have a solution right now, but it's not just going to take one or two guys."
As for the Avalanche, they have also struggled offensively. They had just 3 goals during an 0-3-0 road trip and are allowing on avaerage 2-3 goals per game."It's not about individual games. It's about a team effort and finding ways to mentally overcome a difficult situation that we're in right now," Smyth said. "We've got to find a way, and we're finding ways to lose. We've got to find ways to win."The puck drop for tonights game will be at 9:00pm E.T And 7:00pm P.T on TSN and RDS.
