New York Rangers face the Montreal Canadiens and you can expect a lot of extras to suit up.

“I thought it was a big plus for him to fight and get back from a long year of dealing with his injury,” Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis said. “I’m on the cautious side,” Gallant said. New York lost to the Hurricanes in a qualifying round series in the summer of 2020, when the postseason consisted of 24 teams following the pandemic-shortened regular season. Gallant began taking the long view Tuesday, when second-ling wingers Artemi Panarin and Andrew Copp each suffered injuries in the second period. “Wherever you’re going to finish, you’re playing a great team,” Gallant said. “Yeah, over the last couple of weeks, we had a chance at first.

Canadiens vs. Rangers: Back New York Over Floundering Montreal (The Action Network)

Tony Sartori breaks down Wednesday's NHL matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers and shares his best bet.

If New York wins, then this line will swing even further in the Rangers’ direction. If New York wins on Tuesday, Igor Shesterkin may start again as the division title would be attainable. This season as a whole has been tough for Montembeault as he possesses a mere 0.892 save percentage. Over their last 10 games as a road underdog, the Canadiens are just 3-7 with five of those seven losses coming by at least a two-goal margin. That being said, we should expect to see Sam Montembeault between the pipes for Montreal in this game. Of those seven losses, five have been by two or more goals.

Canadiens have best shot at the first draft pick, but the evolution of ... (The Athletic)

The Canadiens want what the Rangers have, but a high draft pick will not be enough to get there. Their core players need to evolve, as well.

As a coach, I think you’re a facilitator in that sense, but it’s the player that has that responsibility to go and apply it.” The Canadiens will need certain veterans to adapt and evolve into more productive versions of themselves next season. No, neither Gallagher, Anderson nor Evans is likely to become a 50-goal scorer, but if they can adapt their games to become more consistent contributors, the Canadiens will be the big beneficiaries. Actually, it’s an art to be able to absorb and apply, and I think that’s on the player. And if there is one player on the Canadiens who is most similar to Kreider in terms of playing style and size, it is Anderson. And so will Jake Evans, who once said in Laval that he saw himself as a fourth-line checking centre in the NHL but acknowledged Wednesday he now sees himself as potentially more than that. “But at the end of the day, it’s the players. “Maybe they see somebody do something they weren’t doing before, is it the coach’s fault that the player’s doing X, Y and Z?” St. Louis said. He and Kreider were seen at the time as very similar players with similar numbers and similar impact. But not everyone can do that at the same level. It was only when things got so bad that it was clearly becoming damaging — five straight regulation losses in which the Canadiens gave up 33 goals and scored 12 — did Gorton and Hughes step in, firing Ducharme and hiring Martin St. Louis, just about the most outside-the-box hire they could have made. By that point the Canadiens were 8-30-7, and what was finally confirmed Wednesday night had seemed somewhat inevitable.
