While the Montreal Canadiens were absolutely run over by the Calgary Flames at even strength last night, this was only true for most of their lines. The trio of Juraj Slafkovsky, Sean Monahan, and Josh Anderson were a positive, controlling 58.33% of even-strength shot attempts, on a night where their team controlled a paltry 35.16% overall.
A big part of that success was the promotion of Slafkovsky to the trio, which the rookie seemed to be on a mission to make permanent.
Markstrom with a little audacity to come way out of his crease, and Juraj Slafkovsky makes it 1-0 #Habs very early in this one pic.
