Offensive expectations: The goals are starting to return for the Montreal Canadiens

While the Montreal Canadiens managed to score five goals in their game against the Edmonton Oilers, they finished last week with an average of just 2.5 goals per game, and a median closer to two goals.

A team can't win with just two goals per game in the long run. The 2-1 shootout win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon was just the third time this season that the Canadiens have won while scoring less than three times.

The way things are going, the team will end the season with the lowest total goals of any campaign in Michel Therrien's latest tenure.
