Passive. Uninspired. Flat. How ever you want to describe it, it wasn’t good as your Montreal Canadiens put up a season low 16 shots in a loss to the struggling Philadelphia Flyers. Nesterov got his first, Shaw was benched, Galchenyuk was back, and Barberio is gone. Zach covers it all on the morning after mini-pod.
Game 51 – Habs Beat Sabres 5-2 – The Recency Bias
Alex Radulov shot out of the All-Star break and helped lift his line to a huge night that included a Max Pacioretty hat trick. Carey Price is back to his old goal stifling ways, while Andrei Markov, David Desharnais, and Greg Pateryn all made their returns to the line-up and Nikita Nesterov made his Canadiens debut in the 5-2 win at the Bell Centre.
