Canadiens

Carey Price will start in goal for Habs in final game of the regular season that has the best team in NHL playing against the worst.

The Canadiens traded Chiarot on March 16 in exchange for a second-round pick at this year’s NHL Draft, a first-round pick in 2023 and 20-year-old forward prospect Ty Smilanic, who had 13-10-23 totals in 41 games this season with Quinnipiac University. Chiarot had 7-11-18 totals in 54 games with the Canadiens this season and was minus-18 while averaging 23:33 of ice time. This has been a tough season for Petry, who has 6-20-26 totals in 67 games and is minus-13. The Panthers are coming off a 4-0 win over the Senators Thursday night in Ottawa that clinched the Presidents’ Trophy for the best record in the regular season. Last-place Habs: This is the last game of the season for both teams and the Canadiens clinched last place in the overall NHL standings Wednesday night when the Arizona Coyotes beat the Dallas Stars 4-3 in overtime. That means the Canadiens can pick no lower than third overall at this year’s NHL Draft and they have the best odds of getting the No. 1 pick in the draft lottery (25.5 per cent). The Canadiens ended a nine-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Rangers Wednesday night in New York. The Canadiens have the second-worst home record in the NHL (10-26-4), slightly ahead of the Coyotes (10-27-3). Head coach Martin St. Louis confirmed after Friday’s morning skate in Brossared that Carey Price will start in goal after visiting with the doctor in New York who performed knee surgery on him last July for a torn meniscus.

MONTRÉAL - Le rideau tombe sur la campagne 2021-2022 des Canadiens en ce vendredi, alors que le Club accueille les Panthers de la Floride à son 82e et ...

Le Québécois n'a pas revêtu l'uniforme des Panthers jeudi contre les Sénateurs, profitant plutôt d'une soirée de repos, et il reste à voir s'il reviendra au jeu pour affronter les Canadiens vendredi. Alors que c'était 1 à 0 après deux périodes, Bennett et Verhaeghe ont tous deux marqué à 21 secondes d'écart pour lancer les hostilités du troisième tiers et mettre le match hors de portée. Jeff Petry a brisé une égalité de 3 à 3 en inscrivant son deuxième de la soirée à 31 secondes de la fin du temps règlementaire, procurant aux Canadiens une victoire de 4 à 3 les Rangers, lors de l'avant-dernier match de l'année de Montréal.

MONTREAL — Cole Caufield scored his first NHL hat trick and the Montreal Canadiens crushed the Presidents' Trophy champions Florida Panthers in a 10-2 win ...

“They've probably never been a No. 1 seed in a long time and these are all different things we have to deal with.” “That was my dad's favorite player and for a lot of people in that generation it was all about Guy,” Brunette said. A lot of the outside noise can break into you and do a lot of things that can affect you.” Then Caufield winded a wrist shot to get Montreal up by three. “Him winning this game I think it means a lot,” added St. Louis. “I put myself in his shoes, battling the way he's battled, the level that he's played out in this league and he's got his own expectations. “It means everything to us,” Caufield said about Price’s win.

Wideman on Suzuki: There's nothing I've seen that doesn't say cap... Up Next. 1:48. NHL: ...

Montreal Canadiens defenceman Chris Wideman believes that Nick Suzuki has the attributes to be the team's next captain. Montreal Canadiens defenceman Chris Wideman believes that Nick Suzuki has the attributes to be the team's next captain. Suzuki was one of the players who wore an 'A' for the Habs this season alongside Brendan Gallagher, Paul Byron, Jeff Petry and the since-departed Ben Chiarot and Tyler Toffoli.

Montreal Canadiens prospect Joe Vrbetic has helped the North Bay Battalion quickly move past the opening round of the OHL Playoffs.

Vrbetic stopped 22 of them and the team skated away with a 3-2 win and a clean sweep in the opening round of the OHL postseason. Vrbetic wasn’t as strong in Game 2, allowing six goals, but the Battalion offence scored seven to take a 2-0 series lead. He didn’t play hockey last season since the OHL was shut down, but he is showing why the Habs took a chance on him with a late pick with a strong performance this season.

In some respects, comparing Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin to Pierre-Luc Dubois of the Winnipeg Jets is unfair.

The Canadiens have to learn from it so as not to sacrifice someone they’re going to need more down the road. Up to this point, he’s made savvy moves as the team’s new GM, but that was true of Bergevin too at one point, with the Drouin trade going down as one of his biggest mistakes. In that sense, any trade for Dubois can be considered a do-over for the organization, a chance to get things right… In theory, you can also play Dubois on the wing on the first line beside Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Assuming, knock on wood, the Canadiens still finish with one of the top two picks at the upcoming NHL Entry Draft, it would still make sense to draft a center like Shane Wright or Logan Cooley in such an instance. If that’s the case, his name is inevitably going to come up in the Canadiens rumor mill. In some respects, comparing Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin to Pierre-Luc Dubois of the Winnipeg Jets is unfair.

Carey Price will be in the net when the Montreal Canadiens host the Florida Panthers in their season finale Friday night.

Friday's matchup will feature both the President's Trophy winner and the league's first No. 32 seed, which the Canadine locked up earlier this week. "I'm happy that he was able to play but we'll see what the next few days will bring." "It's tough to tell, he will continue to get evaluated so it's tough to comment on that before we get all the information," said Canadiens interim coach Martin St. Louis earlier this week when asked about Price's status.

On his 700th career start, Carey Price made 37 saves to record his first win this season. Price's last win came in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals. “It means ...

“They've probably never been a No. 1 seed in a long time and these are all different things we have to deal with.” “Him winning this game I think it means a lot,” added St. Louis. “I put myself in his shoes, battling the way he's battled, the level that he's played out in this league and he's got his own expectations. Brunette argued that his squad has veterans like Joe Thornton who have an understanding of what it takes to make it in the playoffs but being the league leaders has its weight. A lot of the outside noise can break into you and do a lot of things that can affect you.” “That was my dad's favorite player and for a lot of people in that generation it was all about Guy,” Brunette said. “It means everything to us,” Caufield said about Price’s win.

The Montreal Canadiens season comes to a close tonight with a matchup against the President's Trophy winning Florida Panthers.

He has played 24 games this season, partly due to injuries but he has also been made a healthy scratch on numerous occasions as well. He did score a hat trick early in the season at the Bell Centre which was a special moment, but he hasn’t scored again since. It could also be the last game of Mathieu Perreault’s career.

Montreal is up against the cap and has only 19 players, including Shea Weber, under contract.

The guy who was signed as his backup, Jake Allen, has injury concerns of his own and made only 35 appearances. Price, who has been the top choice in previous years, was next at 16.9 per cent. Could the much-anticipated return of goaltender Carey Price be the finishing touch in a makeover? Montreal won seven of eight games with a win over Toronto and road wins against playoff-bound teams in Calgary and Edmonton. There were what realtors call good bones, a core of proven veterans and some youngsters who showed signs of becoming productive NHL players. Article content

We made it to the end of the season! Congratulations to everyone who hung in with this season during the good-ish, the mainly bad, and the very ugly. The Habs ...

- We made it to the end of the season! - I’m giddy. - Price robs Chiarot with a sweet windmill save. It was so sweet that it ended with Price and Chiarot chuckling. We try to keep it light and entertaining. Full recaps are up the morning after every game.

With roughly 20 seconds to go in a 10-2 win for his Montreal Canadiens on Friday, Carey Price plopped his stick atop his net and began waving at his family.

Never mind the goaltender, who was the best in the world, and all the things he did; I had the chance to be with him alone in the dressing room on many early mornings, and he’s just an extraordinary person.” He was incredible, and I had no doubt at all we were going to win the gold medal in Sochi. Carey was invincible.” Injuries have piled up over the years and validated this doubt, with him only appearing in five of 82 games this season. Several setbacks — following a one-month stint in the NHL/NHLPA’s player assistance program — turned what was supposed to be an eight-to-10-week recovery into a nearly season-long absence, and there was fear Price had suffered another setback after just four games of action. It was something much better than what we saw on most nights this season — the Canadiens tumbled to the bottom of the standings early on and locked themselves into last place in the NHL before the puck even dropped. Without any official word, Price was back on the ice Thursday despite the Canadiens having a day off. And he might not be willing to come Saturday, when the Canadiens hold their end-of-season media availabilities. “It means everything to us (to win for him),” he started. This happened while play was still ongoing — with the Canadiens in possession of the puck just 10 feet away from him — and there’s no way of knowing with any certainty what it symbolized. Cole Caufield, who began the season with one goal over his first 30 games, managed to score three to bring his total to 23 in 67 games. “I’m not going to lie, it feels pretty good,” Caufield told the media. “I hope the best, and for whatever he hopes,” Gervais said.

The Montreal Canadiens host the Presidents' Trophy winning Florida Panthers at Bell Centre on Friday, April 29, 2022.

He looked dazed for a second, but got up and skated off on his own power. Eetu Luostarinen found him with a behind-the-back pass and he put in a shot from the slot with 1:37 left in the first period to put Florida on the board. Noel Acciari got the Panthers back on the board with 5:05 to go, poking a loose puck home and cutting their deficit to 10-2. The Panthers got a power play out of it and it was Chiarot who cashed in. The Canadiens started the scoring 1:57 into the game as 21-year-old defenseman Jordan Harris got his first NHL goal off of a shot from the point that bounced off of Matt Kiersted and into the net. The Panthers, playing a meaningless game after wowing for much of the first 81, found themselves down three goals in the first 4:30 — and it did not get much better from there.

Les Canadiens ont terminé la saison avec une grosse victoire, dont 37 arrêts de Carey Price.

Le retour en force du Canadien passera par l’éclosion de ses jeunes joueurs et Jordan Harris fait partie du lot. Mais, à écouter Martin St-Louis et Pierre Gervais après la partie, la crainte existe encore à propos du fait que Price ait voulu protéger le filet car il pourrait se retirer.

Montreal Canadiens defender Jordan Harris scored the first goal of his NHL career tonight against the Florida Panthers in the Habs last game.

Harris goal was the first of an outburst of offence for the Canadiens as the Panthers iced a minor league-ish lineup in the final game of their terrific season. There are not a lot of positives to come from a 55 point team in the standings, but Harris is part of a young core of defenceman that is coming along and could transform the blue line of this team in the near future. He turned pro after his senior season with the Northeastern Huskies ended early in the NCAA Championship tournament.

Montreal gives its fans something to cheer about, while Florida rests its key players ahead of the playoffs.

Head equipment manager Pierre Gervais was honoured in a pregame ceremony. It was his fourth of the season and the first since he had a hat trick against Detroit on Oct. 23. He finished the season with 23 goals, an impressive total when you consider that 22 of those goals were scored after Martin St. Louis took over as head coach in early February. Count rookie defenceman Jordan Harris as a keeper. Before you get too excited over the result, it should be noted that the Panthers’ goal was to get out of this game in one piece. Article content

Au-delà de ce contact avec le vice-président exécutif des opérations hockey du Tricolore, on dit de lui qu’il est une sommité en la matière. On visite plein de places et on connaît plein de monde », a relaté Gervais, qui demeurera à l’emploi du Canadien dans un rôle qui reste à déterminer. Alain Gagnon, coordonnateur des services à l’équipe, a pris sa retraite après 19 ans à travailler au sein du Canadien. Le recensement sera évidemment impossible à faire, mais on peut affirmer, sans se tromper, qu’il a été apprécié de tous.

D'une équipe finaliste à la Coupe Stanley, le Canadien a procédé à un grand ménage avec les congédiements de Dominique Ducharme, Marc Bergevin et Trevor Timmins ...

Il s’est fait opérer à un poignet au mois de mars. Le doute persistait encore sur son étant de santé et son avenir dans la LNH. Mais il a trouvé une façon de finir l’année avec une première victoire contre les Panthers. À sa dixième saison dans le fauteuil de DG, Bergevin se retrouvait sur un siège éjectable. Et le propriétaire a choisi d’appuyer sur le bouton. Opéré à un genou quelques semaines après la douloureuse défaite en cinq matchs en finale contre le Lightning, Price croyait avoir enfin dissipé les doutes dans son esprit en chaussant les jambières une première fois le 15 avril. Il n’a pas révolutionné l’attaque massive et il n’a pas marqué 30 buts. « Nous ne jouons pas en équipe, nous ne jouons pas comme un groupe. Petry avait de gros patins à chausser. Il s’est transformé en agneau sacrifié pour l’horrible début de saison de l’équipe (8-30-7). Il a perdu son emploi moins de sept mois après sa nouvelle entente. À un salaire de 4,5 M$ jusqu’en 2023-2024, le numéro 68 n’est pas un bon investissement. Le 13 juillet, Dominique Ducharme paraphait une prolongation de contrat de trois ans et 5,1 M$. Il recevait une récompense pour sa participation à la finale de la Coupe Stanley. Mais il n’y a jamais une lune de miel éternelle. Ducharme l’a appris d’une façon brutale. Le coup de balai est survenu le 28 novembre. Molson a indiqué la porte de sortie à Bergevin, Trevor Timmins et Paul Wilson.

On ne termine pas au 32e et dernier rang du classement général sans, au passage, inscrire quelques records de médiocrité.

Il y a le nombre de revers, mais il y a également la façon de les encaisser. Pour la première fois depuis 1939-1940, aucun gardien utilisé par le Canadien n’a récolté au moins 10 victoires. Le Tricolore a essuyé plus que sa part de varlopes au cours de la saison. Le précédent record appartenait à l’édition de 1983-1984. Trente de ces défaites (sur 45 matchs) sont survenues sous les ordres de Dominique Ducharme, congédié le 9 février, contre 19 (en 37 rencontres) sous la férule de Martin St-Louis. Avec 49 revers, l’équipe actuelle n’a pas seulement surpassé ce nombre peu enviable, elle l’a pulvérisé. Une sécheresse de neuf rencontres, du jamais-vu depuis 1939-1940, et de huit matchs ont contribué à ce total astronomique.

To reflect on the 22-49-11 season and give thoughts on the off-season ahead, Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes, St. Louis and select players will speak with the media for an end-of-season press conference beginning around 9:45 a.m. ET. Now, the club looks ahead to a critical off-season to determine the franchise's future, highlighted in part by its 18.5 per cent chance at landing the No. 1 overall pick for the 2022 NHL Draft in Montreal and what's next for both head coach Martin St. Louis and franchise goaltender Carey Price. Since making the Stanley Cup Final last year, the Montreal Canadiens have hired an executive vice president of hockey operations, a new general manager, a new head coach and finished 32nd in the NHL standings — the first team to do so in league history.
