The Montreal Canadiens went on their third winning streak nearly two weeks ago. The Los Angeles Kings, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Washington Capitals all fell to the Habs on that run before things started to go the other way. It started with a loss to the New Jersey Devils, followed by the Blue Jackets getting their revenge and, most recently, the Ottawa Senators Wednesday night.
It is new territory for the Habs this season, though. They’ve had their losses here and there, but three in a row is the longest stretch seen so far, and the fan base, as well as members of the media, are reacting accordingly.
