Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis admitted last Wednesday at Brossard, Quebec, that his tired and fierce team was in survival mode.
That was the same day, it was announced that Kaiden Guhle had undergone surgery to repair a muscle that had lost five bones muscles, and one night, lost the Winnipeg jet. Montreal lost to the Jets for the third consecutive time, about to play against Minnesota Wild, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, New Jersey Devils and Tampa Bay Chargers, resulting in 4 countries facing St. Louis ) credits the next part of his team to “chasing rest.”
Canadians have not found a way since he said it was a sprint.
Last Thursday, they moved slowly into the wild to have St. Louis talk about how they lacked “juice.” They crawled in Los Angeles Wednesday after winning Tuesday in San Jose after Anaheim lost sloppy on Sunday.
The result: Losing 6-3 to the Kings makes you wonder how this team will steal points from the Devils and steal lightning in the Matinees on Super Bowl weekend to save this part and stay in the playoff game middle.

Hey, give the King credit. They are the best home team in the NHL and they look the same from beginning to end. They showed up for rest, fresh, ready for the Canadian team that played in Northern California the night before, and they advocated themselves accordingly.
As a result, the king never seemed to be seriously threatened by Montreal’s progress.
Their first lead was shot by Fluke and Mike Matheson was besieged in Drew Doughty and Darcy Kuemper, but they were Stage 2 was earlier in the second place on Warren Foegele’s free throw percentage.
Brandt ClarkeTh In the second phase of the third phase, Alex Carrier screened one to get Canadians to close the gap again.
But Kevin Fiala responded to 4-2 kings just six minutes later. After Logan Mailloux restored the Canadians to one, he added his second goal in just 35 seconds.
Trevor Moore’s empty network left will double in the 2:30 match.
“Honestly, I think everyone gives them the best benefits tonight,” Matheson told reporters.
But the most Canadians are not enough.
The Canadians have little time to pay for more than two weeks, the flu swept the team, and the mental fatigue of the post-Christmas schedule is being installed, and key players like Guhle and Emil Heinemen have suffered injuries, such as Josh ( For example, Josh Anderson and David Savard – Injured.
