Coyotes – Canadiens

Player to Watch: Forward Sean Monahan has traditionally played well against Arizona, recording 24 points on 11 goals and 13 assists in 31 games against the Coyotes. Former Coyotes forward Christian Dvorak has also been held without a point to this point of the season. Player to Watch: Forward Clayton Keller currently has a three-game point streak against the Canadiens, notching two goals and three assists over that span. Montreal enters tonight's game 2-2-0, most recently scoring three unanswered goals in a 3-2 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday.

Thursday marks the first of two meetings between Arizona and Montreal, with the second on Dec.

Carol Schram breaks down Thursday's NHL game between the Arizona Coyotes and Montreal Canadiens.

Someone’s going to have to manage the puck on Thursday night and it looks like the home side should be able to seize that edge. However, at close to even money, the under offers superior value in what should be a low-scoring affair. They’ve controlled just 42.84% of expected goals at 5-on-5 and are 1-for-13 on the power play this season. The Coyotes are also missing fellow defenseman Conor Timmins (upper body, day-to-day) and forward Nick Schmaltz (upper body, 6-to-8 weeks). New captain Nick Suzuki has been in on five of the eight total goals that Montreal has scored to date and Cole Caufield leads his team with three goals. Despite injuries to veteran defensemen Mike Matheson and Joel Edmundson, the Canadiens have been quite stingy while icing a blue-line group that includes three rookies — Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj, Jordan Harris and Johnathan Kovacevic. Operating with one of the lowest payrolls in the NHL, the Coyotes are starting the year with a six-game road trip before they make their debut in their new home arena at Arizona State University on Oct. He has flown out to join his teammates in Montreal, but it’s unclear when he’ll be able to get back into the lineup. Which side will hold the edge when the Coyotes and Canadiens go head-to-head at the Bell Centre? Nick Ritchie’s team-leading three goals have also all come on the power play. After giving up six goals against Pittsburgh and Boston, they limited the high-scoring Leafs to just two goals in Monday’s win. With a roster that’s short on stars, it’s not surprising to see that Arizona has been dramatically outshot in all three of its games.

Juraj Slafkovsky a d'ailleurs profité de ce festival offensif pour inscrire son premier but en carrière dans la LNH.

Il choisit le tir et trompe la vigilance de Connor Ingram pour faire 3-0. La foule se permet même de scander son nom! Sur le filet de Caufield, déjà son quatrième de la saison, Clayton Keller avait passé la rondelle directement sur le patin de Lawson Crouse avant que le petit Américain ne la récupère. Juraj Slafkovsky a émis le désir, il y a quelques jours, de marquer son premier but en carrière avec le Canadien au Centre Bell. Jake Allen, auteur de 25 arrêts, a finalement perdu son jeu blanc avec 13 min 39 s à faire en troisième période. Il offrait alors une avance de 4 à 0 au Tricolore.

This year has provided a small sample size for testing how the Canadiens are doing, but there are so many players showing promise. Brian Wilde has more.

Slafkovsky is also improving as a player from game to game, and that is the most important consideration of all. It is when the frustration starts to set in, and it feels like stagnation, then a change must be made. It was at that moment there was no denying it was going to be a horrific season, and there would be no light at the end of the tunnel. He is not hurting the club on the ice, considering he isn’t the culprit in goals against to ruin his confidence. That gave him much additional confidence that he drew upon, no doubt in the first half of his rookie season. It has to come eventually because he needs to have the puck on his stick more, and play in all situations. Slafkovsky is getting valuable experience in the NHL to understand the culture and expectations at this level. Early in this one, he was controlling the puck and ended up with an assist as the Canadiens jumped out to a quick lead. It was a goal of the highest quality imaginable when the spotlight was all on him. The first 20 games of the season promised to be the hardest. Suzuki with the delay of his shot until he went across the crease. Not this time though, as the Canadiens put on a terrific show to go over .500 on the season with an impressive 6-2 win.

Moser et Boyd ont marqué dans un intervalle de 1:58. Slafkovsky a agité la main au banc en rigolant, affichant un large sourire. Caufield a creusé l’écart à 4:13. En général, je suis très content de notre match. Il a compté son premier [but] et je ne m’attendais à rien d’autre de leur part », a-t-il ajouté au sujet de l’ovation reçue par le Slovaque. « Jake [Allen] a fait de gros arrêts pour nous. « Je suis content pour le jeune, a dit l’entraîneur-chef Martin St-Louis au sujet du premier but de Slafkovsky. et de boxe !

Juraj Slafkovsky a inscrit son premier but dans la LNH.

Il pourra défendre sa fiche à nouveau samedi, quand les Stars seront de passage à Montréal. Ingram, qui en était à son quatrième départ dans la LNH, a cédé trois fois sur les quatre premiers tirs reçus. Il a fait mal paraître Ingram en soulevant délicatement le disque par-dessus son gant. Il a compté son premier et je ne m'attendais à rien d'autre de leur part, a-t-il ajouté au sujet de l'ovation reçue par le Slovaque. Il a ensuite pleinement savouré les longs applaudissements de la foule, après l'annonce de sa réussite par Michel Lacroix. Suzuki a rajouté au festival offensif lors du tir de pénalité qui lui a été accordé avec une spectaculaire feinte.

J.J. Moser and Travis Boyd scored for the Coyotes and Lawson Crouse added two assists in Arizona's 6-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
