The Montreal Canadiens shouldn’t be embarrassed solely for letting another two-goal lead go up in smoke against the San Jose Sharks earlier this week, en route to a 4-3 overtime loss.
The Hockey Writers argues that the Montreal Canadiens risk derailing their campaign following a 4-3 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks. Despite holding a 3-1 lead in the third period, Montreal surrendered the advantage for the fourth time in nine games this season. A late goal by Tyler Toffoli tied the game before San Jose capitalized on a four-on-three overtime penalty to secure the victory.
The writer warns that dropping points during an ostensibly easy stretch of the schedule could damage Montreal's playoff chances. The Canadiens hold a 4-3-2 record and sit outside the playoff picture ahead of a difficult four-game road trip. With an impending November schedule featuring 10 games against projected playoff teams, the publication stresses that the Canadiens must urgently fix their discipline and lead-protecting issues.
