Montreal canadiens pacioretty update

Pacioretty's influence on the ice and in the locker room was growing. The Canadiens had built a strong leadership core that also included goaltender Carey Price, effervescent defenseman P. Subban, gritty young forward Brendan Gallagher and veteran defenseman Andrei Markov.

With the Canadiens without a captain after free agent Brian Gionta signed with the Buffalo Sabres following the season, expectations were high for the next choice. General manager Marc Bergevin and coach Michel Therrien left it to the players to decide. According to Bergevin, the vote wasn't close.

Pacioretty was named the 29th captain of the Canadiens on Sept. He remained captain until being traded to the Vegas Golden Knights on Sept. Price made 31 saves for his fourth straight win, improving his record to with a 2. Kovalchuk now has three goals in the last two games and has totals in eight games since joining the Canadiens.

His goal Saturday was his first at the Bell Centre. My personal coach is coming to L. He looks really good. It was surprising that coach Claude Julien had Kovalchuk — not known for his defence — on the ice during the final two minutes of the game and he was on the ice for both goals Vegas scored to send it to overtime and then the shootout. Kovalchuk's first goal on home ice.

The fourth line of Nate Thompson between Weise and Cousins played a key role in the victory. Cousins scored twice with Weise assisting on both goals. When your fourth line scores a couple of goals you should expect to win. For fans wondering why Julien would choose Cousins as one of his four shooters in the shootout, he was 7-for on career shootout attempts coming into the game.

Grosse victoire avant la pause. Cousins and Weise know each other very well because they were also teammates with the Philadelphia Flyers. Makes two great plays on those goals. We kind of talked about that play and then I told him we were going to get a two-on-one tonight and I was going to get it to him, be ready.

So I called it, man. So I was just really happy he finished that one. Farrell was named the USHL Player of the Year after becoming just the second player in league history to eclipse the point mark in a single season. He registered at least a point in 24 consecutive games and helped the Chicago Steel win the Clark Cup title. Can the underdog Habs continue their improbable postseason run against the mighty Golden Knights who finished 23 points ahead of them in the standings?

As general manager Marc Bergevin loves to say, expect the unexpected. Regardless, it sure is fun that the Canadiens are still playing meaningful hockey in mid-June.
