“The good thing about the first is we stopped the bleeding at the end,” St. “We got a late one, it gave us a little life and we showed them a couple of things that can help us and why we were hurting ourselves.” “I thought the pace that we played with in the first period and the execution was phenomenal,” Bednar said. Former Hab Lars Eller collected his first Avalanche point on the goal. Canadiens forward Rem Pitlick awkwardly fell into the board while rushing for the puck behind Colorado’s net. “Tonight wasn’t our best but I’m just going to move on and focus on (Tuesday’s game against Pittsburgh).” “I think our group has played very hard in a very hard, heavy schedule and they’ve been engaged,” said Habs coach Martin St. Valeri Nichushkin had a goal and two assists for Colorado (36-22-6), while Bowen Byram, Matt Nieto, Mikko Rantanen, J.T. “One hundred goals for him, that's a big accolade to have," O'Connor said. He's such an awesome dude and a great friend,” Avs defenceman Cale Makar said of Lehkonen. Compher and Nathan MacKinnon also scored. So that was a pretty cool experience.”

As much as the Canadiens are prepared to be engaged in the fight, every now and then, there is just too much talent on the other bench.

They have the fourth easiest schedule in the final month. They have the seventh easiest schedule. Hutson is the first defender to ever win the scoring title in Hockey East in NCAA. It’s easy to see the value he brings with his gorgeous rushes up ice, and ability to weave his way through traffic in the offensive zone. Not only because of Montreal’s difficult opposition, but clubs near them in the standings mostly have easy opposition. They showed the value of total defence in last year’s playoffs. Certainly, the scoring talent is obvious, so let’s leap over that and get right to the true giant hole for a decade in the Canadiens’ roster-building landscape. PK Subban was dealt out of town and replaced with one of the best in hockey Shea Weber — a stay-at-home type though, again. Anderson, with a deflection on a point shot, put the Canadiens on the board late in the first period. He also thought Andrei Markov was not worth the money that he sought, even uttering the sentence that summer, “If you want loyalty, get a dog.” Bergevin didn’t favour that type of defender. Anderson also hit two goal posts on the night, and was a wrecking ball of pace and power. He also is learning how to float around the offensive zone to find dead space.

Artturi Lehkonen scored twice in Colorado's four-goal first period, and the Avalanche beat the Montreal Canadiens 8-4 Monday night.

Lehkonen, Byram and Nieto scored 5:06 apart to give the Avalanche a 3-0 lead a little more than eight minutes into the game. Compher, Matt Nieto and Bowen Byram also scored for the Avalanche, who won for the third time in four games. Sam Montembault came on and finished with 16 saves.

Colorado kicked off its four-game road trip with an 8-4 victory at Montreal on Monday evening.

The puck drops between the Avs and Leafs at 5:00 p.m. The winger hit the 20-goal mark for the first time ever in his career as he also notched his 100th-career goal. The Canadiens scored two quick strikes in the span of 1:47. Just under the midway mark of the third period, the Avalanche furthered their score 7-2 on a tremendous power-play goal from MacKinnon, who drew the penalty on Rafael Harvey-Pinard at 8:09. Nichushkin redirected Rodrigues' shot past Montembeault at the net front to secure the 8-4 win. Allen made the initial stop, but Toews swooped in for the rebound and sent the puck to the backdoor for Rodrigues across the slot. Two minutes later, Lehkonen sent a pass from the wall into the slot for Nichushkin. Mikko Rantanen fired a shot from distance that deflected off Lehkonen at the net front and a Canadiens' stick to beat Allen. Louis pulling Allen from the pipes in place of Montembeault. En route, Anderson batted the puck out of the air which took a fortuitous deflection to beat Georgiev. Lehkonen shared a heartfelt moment with the crowd as he received a warm welcome back. Colorado is now 37-22-6 for their season record and rank third in the Central Division standings.

"It's a learning experience for sure — not to spot the defending Cup champs four goals if you want to win," said defenceman Chris Wideman.

It was Lehkonen’s first game back in Montreal since last March’s trade for Justin Barron and a 2024 second-round draft choice. Compher, Valeri Nichushkin and Bowen Byram also scored. “They’re the defending Cup champs for a reason and they showed that tonight. The free-wheeling Avalanche was skating circles around the Canadiens throughout the opening 20 minutes, winning all the puck battles and making Montreal defenders look flat-footed. We were just so preoccupied with the movement instead of sticking with how we’re supposed to defend.” The Avalanche took a 4-0 first-period advantage, scoring on their second, fourth, sixth and seventh shots against a beleaguered Jake Allen. Anderson, the 6-foot-3, 218-pound veteran, has had plenty of breakaways this season, but hasn’t scored on nearly enough of them. Then, on his opening two shifts of the third period, Anderson — who never quits despite the score — twice struck the post.

Lehkonen played his first game back at the Bell Centre since a trade that sent him to Denver last March. Canadiens forward Rem Pitlick awkwardly fell into the board while rushing for the puck behind Colorado’s net. Lehkonen scored his first goal back at the Bell Centre shortly after a video celebrating his time in Montreal was shown on the big screen midway through the first period. Compher and Nathan MacKinnon also scored for Colorado (36-22-6).

Happy to be part of rebuild, Habs power forward "gets way more touches and he's way more efficient on the ice," head coach says.

“There’s not really a lot of power forwards in the league anymore who can skate, shoot, hit, fight, play that playoff hockey style,” he said. It’s going to be bright in the future.” “We’ve got to come together here as a team and start playing for that logo on the front of our jersey. Anderson’s comments after a 7-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils last Feb. Anderson is the only one left. He’s got stuff that you can’t teach and I think he’s really been receptive with the stuff that we’ve been talking about to help his overall game and you can see it. Louis noted that when a player is always skating fast, sometimes they’re not skating at the right speed and getting to the right spot. It made sense for Canadiens GM Kent Hughes not to deal Anderson at the trade deadline. Anderson earned the nickname “powerhorse” — which is perfect — from former teammate Tomas Tatar during his first training camp with the Canadiens. Anderson scored his 20th goal of the season in Monday night’s 8-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche at the Bell Centre and added an assist. Who knows what the future holds, but I think they’re definitely heading in the right direction and if I’m a part of it I’ll definitely be thrilled.” Article content

Les Canadiens de Montréal peuvent-ils mettre un terme à leur séquence de revers? La question se pose, ce soir, avec le passage de l'Avalanche du Colorado ...

mais elle en a marqué un autre quelques instants plus tard: 6-1 après la réussite de J. La formation du Colorado a ajouté à son avance lors d'un avantage numérique. Une rondelle bien en mouvement, un tir des poignets précis dans la circulation lourde et Jake Allen a été déjoué à 2:59. Après révision, on a donné le but à Artturi Lehkonen qui a été chaleureusement applaudi à son retour à Montréal. Jake Allen – chassé après le 6e but de l’Avalanche – et Samuel Montembeault ont fait face à 33 tirs. Et Jake Allen, exceptionnel récemment, a connu un très mauvais match, accordant quatre buts sur les huit premiers tirs de l'Avalanche.

MONTRÉAL - Les Canadiens ont subi un revers de 8 à 4 contre l'Avalanche, lundi soir. C'était la Soirée country présentée par Coca-Cola au Centre Bell.

Au moins, les partisans ont pu souligner le retour d'Artturi Lehkonen au Centre Bell.

He now has more goals with Montreal than he did with Dallas this season. Ce n’est pas parfait, mais le changement d’air semble lui faire du bien et il démontre de belles étincelles. Denis Gurianov scored a strange one on the power play. – J’ai hâte de voir si ce sera Jake Allen ou Samuel Montembeault qui sera devant le filet demain face aux Penguins. – Rem Pitlick a quitté le match en fin de première période. Sur papier, l’Avalanche est une formation grandement supérieure au CH, et on l’a bien vu sur la glace ce soir. Prolongation– Les innombrables blessés et le manque de joueurs de talent a finalement rattrapé le Tricolore ce soir. Un deuxième match de suite avec un but pour le Russe. [March 14, 2023] Les voici. Même si le Canadien avait perdu ses six derniers matchs avant celui-ci, il n’en demeure pas moins qu’il avait livré une bonne opposition lors de ceux-ci. [March 13, 2023]

Anderson is consistently showing why NHL teams should keep calling the Canadiens in the hopes of acquiring him.

He had to go to the hospital.” “I thought he was very noticeable tonight, and lately he’s had a lot of scoring chances, posts. There weren’t that many pro scouts in attendance Monday night to watch the Avalanche pound the Canadiens 8-4, but had there been, they would have seen more reason to file a report on Anderson recommending him to their respective teams. He is best when playing with good players in a playoff environment where his tenaciousness on the puck, his ability to produce scoring chances and complement talented players is most valuable. That is what made Lehkonen so appealing to the Avalanche, and that is what made Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes’ life a lot easier. Hughes wasn’t making that trade with the Avalanche if Barron wasn’t included because, as a right-shot defenceman with size who can skate, he filled an organizational need.
