The Montreal Canadiens are gaining momentum with a six-game winning streak, moving closer to clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2021. Sam Montembeault's stellar performance in goal, including 35 saves against the Detroit Red Wings, has significantly contributed to their success. Despite holding an eight-point lead over the teams outside playoff contention, defenseman Kaiden Guhle emphasized that the job isn't finished yet. With four games remaining, every player is focused on the goal of reaching the postseason and experiencing the playoff atmosphere at the Bell Centre once more. Coach Martin St. Louis commended the team's resilience and progress, but acknowledges that challenges remain, particularly in starting games strong. Additionally, the Canadiens have signed top prospect Ivan Demidov, adding excitement to their roster as they push forward.
