The Habs blew a 2-0 lead over the Devils on Saturday, and will be looking to bounce back amid the news that their starting goaltender and team MVP will be out for six weeks.
Even though the Canadiens have shown they are able to win in a lot of different ways, and have shown the ability to win without Carey Price between the pipes (something they only did 6 times in 17 games last season), and did so very recently, the magnifying glass is now over this team as it enters this defined period of time where they must reinforce the belief of their fans and critics around the league that they can succeed without him.
