The narrative the past couple of days has been a crossroads the Montreal Canadiens find themselves at. It’s an understatement, but the Habs are lucky to be in the Atlantic Division. Picking up one out of a possible six points in their latest three-game stretch isn’t ideal, but it helps that other teams have been struggling.
Buffalo has their eyes set on a top pick in this year’s draft, Ottawa is 1-8-1 in their last 10 games, and Florida may have a tough time turning things around with Roberto Luongo out long-term. Nothing has changed, the Boston Bruins are still going to be the Habs’ biggest threat for the remainder of the season.
