HabsRuleForever Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 No sense in Carey getting shelled, give him the night off. However he'll probably play. You know playoffs & all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-2 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 TB's starter Vasilevskiy is 14-1-1 with a 2.28 GAA, .921 SV% and one shutout on home ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-2 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 The Canadiens (16-17-4) rank 25th in the overall NHL standings, while the Lightning (26-7-2) are No. 1 — 18 points ahead of Montreal. The Lightning also have the No. 1 offence in the NHL, averaging 3.74 goals per game, and the No. 1 power play, clicking at 26.2 per cent. That power play could be big trouble for the Canadiens, who rank 28th in the NHL in penalty-killing at 76.8 per cent. Wednesday’s loss in Carolina marked the 21st time in 37 games the Canadiens have scored two goals or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regis22 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 How did Tampa miss the playoffs last year and this year they are the best team in the league . They got Stamkos back , a new goalie and traded JD for MS , anything else ? and now they are the elite team in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
