The difference in tonight’s game from the previous three on this road trip will be the presence of Jordan Harris in the lineup, making his NHL debut. With a 5-2 win versus the Chicago Blackhawks last night, the Lightning are now the hottest team in the league with four consecutive victories. There was some hope that the Montreal Canadiens could have a better result versus the Carolina Hurricanes under Martin St. Louis, as in the two games they’d played under Dominique Ducharme, they had lost by a combined score of 8-1.

Les Canadiens battent le Lightning de Tampa Bay en tirs de barrage à la suite d'un but de Nick Suzuki.

Les Canadiens ont profité d'un avantage numérique quelques minutes plus tard, mais c'est le Lightning qui a touché la cible à 13:32 lorsque Anthony Cirelli a fait dévier une rondelle dans la zone du gardien Jake Allen. Martin St-Louis a contesté le but, mais il n'a pas eu gain de cause. Les joueurs de Martin St-Louis ont sérieusement tenu leur bout contre ceux de Jon Cooper, mais même quand ils sont dominés aux tirs au but, les joueurs du Lightning demeurent dangereux. Cole Caufield (15e), Corey Schueneman (2e), Josh Anderson (17e), Yesse Ylönen (2e) ont touché la cible en temps réglementaire pour les Canadiens (19-39-11, 49 points).

Pre-game. Hey, Jordan Harris! · First period. Tampa heads to the box for roughing right out of the gate. · Second period. Habs are flying to start this period ...

I wonder if one will go in the net? One even goes off the post. It was totally interference since he prevented Allen from being able to move his pad to stop the puck. But hey, I don’t have the magic rulebook that changes during every challenge. Full recaps are up the morning after every game. Wow, what a save by Elliott. Is what I would say if I didn’t loathe Tampa so much. We try to keep it light and entertaining. You realize we’re not a threat to your little playoff status, right?

The defending Stanley Cup champions tried to take advantage of a young Montreal defence, but it was the young blue liners who stepped up as the Canadiens ...

There are tons of drafts by tons of teams with only one player successful and sometimes no players that make the NHL at all from a draft year. Harris has the experience in order to mentally developed his game more and is more physically a man. The Kotkaniemi debate won’t finish for another five years, so we move on to the other three players who look like they will land as regulars in the NHL. The most advanced is the shocking pick of that year, Alexander Romanov. He was so barely known that many so-called experts were looking down at their lists, hoping he was even on it. That was the best first game for a Canadiens defenceman that I have seen in a long time. Even if the Habs are middle of the pack on special teams, they are a much better club overall. Barron needs to fill in the pieces just a bit more, though his physical overtime around his own net with no quarter given was impressive. That he does not could come down to that Harris was a 2018 draft and Barron was a 2020 draft. There wasn’t a poor decision in the entire game, and that was against the Stanley Cup champions. He felt the pressure of a hard forecheck and intelligently slammed on the breaks while his opponent didn’t read it and kept skating away. That was a strong first game in the NHL for Jordan Harris. Head Coach Martin St. Louis sure wasn’t afraid of giving him a challenge. He made a strong pass down to a down-low forward who could not convert on the play. Three of the most difficult opponents in the NHL on a three-game road trip for Montreal. So far, not so good.

Le Canadien surprend le Lightning 5 à 4 en tirs de barrage.

Caufield a inscrit un but de toute beauté après avoir été frustré, plus tôt dans le match par Brian Elliott à deux occasions. Et chacun d’eux a bien joué. Barron s’est bien débrouillé défensivement (sauf sur le but de Steven Stamkos) en plus de se porter en attaque au besoin. « Il nous a dit de ne pas le faire pour lui.

Nick Suzuki a couronné le tout en tirs de barrage pour donner la victoire aux siens 5-4.

Caufield a inscrit un but de toute beauté après avoir été frustré, plus tôt dans le match par Brian Elliott à deux occasions. Samedi, c’était au tout de Rem Pitlick d’évoluer à leurs côtés. Une bonne décision de St-Louis considérant que cette unité est celle qui a obtenu plusieurs occasions de marquer. Le défenseur de 21 ans a paru dans son élément du début à la fin. Le Tricolore n’est plus qu’à un du record de 46 établi en 2000-2001. Avec Harris, Justin Barron et Corey Schueneman, le Canadien comptait trois recrues à la ligne bleue. «Il nous a dit de ne pas le faire pour lui. Et chacun d’eux a bien fait. Par contre, il devra apprendre qu’on ne peut plus jouer «avec pas d’casque» dans la LNH, geste pour lequel il a écopé d’une punition. Pour y parvenir, les Montréalais ont dû revenir de l’arrière à deux occasions. En disputant son premier match dans la LNH, Jordan Harris est devenu le 45e joueur à revêtir l’uniforme du Canadien cette saison. On a joué cinq matchs en huit jours. Tout au long de la semaine, Martin St-Louis a martelé que son équipe, à défaut de savourer des victoires, pouvait à tout le moins apprendre en affrontant des puissances du circuit.

Nick Suzuki scored in the shootout, and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-4 on Saturday night.

The bad news is backup Brian Elliott is no slouch with an 8-3-1 career  record against Montreal. The Canadiens are expected to give Jake Allen his eighth start in nine games since he returned from more than two months on the injured reserve list with a groin injury. They face another tough test in the Lightning, which has won the last two Stanley Cups. Tampa Bay is on a four-game winning streak and moved into second pace in the Atlantic Division after beating Chicago 5-2 on Friday. Tampa Bay has 92 points and is one up on Toronto and three ahead of the surging Boston Bruins (89). Tampa Bay has beaten Montreal in their two previous meetings this season, but both games were decided by one goal. Double trouble in goal: The Canadiens get a break — but only a little one — if Tampa coach Jon Cooper gives goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy the night off after he played Friday against Chicago. Vasilevskiy has owned the Canadiens with 12-1-2 career record and a 1.98 goals-against average.

Many things have changed in the Canadiens organization since their last meeting back in December. Most notably the Canadiens named former Lightning player Martin St. Louis their new interim head coach and another former Bolt, Vincent Lecavalier, as their special advisor to hockey operations. Bringing together the Lightning’s most dangerous offensive weapons in Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov has also paid off. The Lightning’s both most recent acquirements Brandon Hagel and Nick Paul have been one of the main reasons why the team have finally got out of the slump. After struggling throughout the month of March, the Tampa Bay Lightning seem to have found their game recently. They started the last month of the regular season with a confident win against the Chicago Blackhawks, extending their winning streak to four games. Both Hagel and Paul have also been a significant part of the Lightning’s penalty kill, which allowed just one goal over the last five games.

Caufield a battu Elliott dans la partie supérieure au terme d'une attaque à deux contre le gardien en compagnie de Rem Pitlick. Schueneman a réduit l'écart à 13:56 grâce à un long tir qui a dévié contre Ondrej Palat avant de faire bouger les cordages. Nos jeunes défenseurs ont joué avec calme et détermination. C'était spécial de voir 'Harry' à son premier match. Chris Wideman et Laurent Dauphin ont été rayés de la formation. Son coup de patin semble tellement facile, a noté St-Louis au sujet de Harris. Il était engagé et nous a donné de très bonnes minutes de jeu. Le Canadien a conclu son voyage de quatre rencontres avec une fiche de 1-2-1. St-Louis était de retour sur le site où il a remporté la coupe Stanley en 2004.

{* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} {* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} {* traditionalSignIn_emailAddress *} But Hughes said Harris will defend well, play bigger than his 5-foot-11, 185-pound frame should allow, kill plays with his speed and his stick, more often than not make the right first pass and be able to skate the puck out as efficiently as he moves it. But there’s versatility in his game, which makes him a good fit with Harris from here to the end of this season—and possibly beyond. And while Justin Barron (who came over in the trade that sent Artturi Lehkonen to the Colorado Avalanche two weeks ago) may still be in the process of finding his NHL legs just four games into his career, we know skating is his greatest strength. I thought he was engaged, and he gave us some really good minutes.” He played efficiently, moving himself and the puck with relative ease and fluidity. Harris wasn’t perfect—a second-period penalty for forgetting it’s an NHL rule that you need to return to the bench immediately if you lose your helmet was an example. There were many examples of Harris processing, executing and popping up exactly where you’d want him to be in all three zones in this game. And if his speed of execution on that first shift was indicative of the level of play he’s already prepared to consistently offer, he’ll realize the large potential he has a lot sooner than expected. He relied on the speed of them—and his active stick—to disrupt the flow of Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point and Steven Stamkos, and it was impressive.

While it my be the best the Habs can offer, it’s not really on the same level as Tampa Bay’s top trio of established stars Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, and Nikita Kucherov, but the production in the month of March was about the same for the two groups, with Suzuki leading the six of them with 1.13 points per game.
