A few weeks ago the Montreal Canadiens looked to be in big trouble because of the amount of injuries they suffered. The Habs lost many players, and key players, who are expected to produce at a high rate offensively.
The Habs lost their number one Center, Alex Galchenyuk, over a month ago. At the time of his injury, Galchenyuk was scoring at almost a point per game pace. He had scored 9 goals and totaled 23 points in 25 games.
The Canadiens also lost veteran Defensemen Andrei Markov, who was the quarterback of the Habs Power Play.
