I suspect Laine and/or Savard will draw back in after resting and not traveling.

Let's hope!

The gauntlet continues. Let's see how the boys hold up against another hot team coming off yet another back-to-back.

Monty is due for a big game, and having Laine back for the PP should give us a boost. Dallas is red hot, so it will be a test for sure. if they can at least get a point I'll be satisfied.

 

[EveryDay]

I'll be there!

Who made this awful schedule ? Any other teams have to deal with this kind of crap ?

I believe the Leafs have had a wonky schedule as well.

Most of the last 10 games has already been a test. And the Habs has passed with flying colors. The next game will not be different.

While Dallas is on a 6 game winning streak, they're in a real soft part of their schedule.

They've beaten Chicago, Buffalo, Ottawa, NYR, Philadelphia & Utah. All bottom 10 teams except for Utah, who they beat in OT.

While this game is the 2nd half of a back-to-back for Montreal, it's the 1st half of a back-to-back for Dallas. They're in Ottawa on Sunday.

It's their 3rd game in 5 nights with travel (they're on a 5 game road trip), while Montreal just had a 3 day break.

I expect it to be fairly even game.

Montembeault will definitely be in for Montreal. I expect Oettinger to play for Dallas.

Every team has weird scheduling due to the two week 4 Nations tournament.

Carolina just played 5 games in 7 days. They played back-to-back, had a day off, played a game, had a day off then had another back-to-back.

 

[Pickles]

Going to be a tough game on a back to back. I love how this team never gives up when they're down a goal or 2. They believe in each other and are learning how to win together. It's a beautiful thing to see after enduring 10 years of Bargain Bin hockey.

Games are more fun when Dobes suits up.

If Laine isn't ready to go, they better have a call up ready because we can't dress Pezz again.

Nice broski vibe.

Hoping for a win as others around us in standings are winning. But going to be tough, Dallas on 6 game heater also. Hope Montembeault plays better than he did against Vancouver or Chicago

 

[Runner77]

Can you believe it?

Spoiler Alert: This team will lose games at some point. Hopefully, we're witnessing a developing attitude that'll allow this roster to shrug off a bad game or two. In other words, I'm mentally preparing myself for a loss tonight...

I'm so proud of our boys. They've turned the entire season around thanks to a determination to learn, improve, and never give up. The positive attitude continues to trickle down to anyone struggling. Dach and Slafkovsky have started to come around. Armia and Anderson have found new life.

There’s an angry Olli Jokinen emoji now?!?

It's so cool.

It's kinda funny that the Habs seems to be meeting the hottest teams lately. First it was Vegas, than the Avs and now Dallas.

Aw, when I read that, I assumed it was the “Stuff me Daddy” turkey lady.
