Nicholas Suzuki (Montreal Canadiens) with a Goal vs. Winnipeg Jets, 02/27/2021
Mired in another extended slump and carrying a four-game losing streak heading into tonight’s game against the Winnipeg Jets, the Montreal Canadiens are refusing to blame Carey Price for their struggles. The Habs’ franchise player has been a shadow of his former self so far this season, carrying a 5-4-3 record with a 3.13 goals-against-average and a . save percentage, both well below his career averages and simply not good enough.
New Montreal Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme clearly has some work to do based on his debut. The 6-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, in which the Habs led 3-1, only served to justify general manager Marc Bergevin’s decision to move on from Ducharme’s predecessor, Claude Julien. Ducharme Loses Debut to Jets Granted, it would have made better headlines had the Canadiens pulled out the victory, but the narrative that a coaching change guarantees a victory the first time out isn’t necessarily true.
