The Canadiens are having a rough season with their offense struggling, scoring only 2.71 goals per game. Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield have scored 16 goals and 32 assists to lead the top line but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only three skaters have seven goals or more and opposing defenses can limit the hapless offense as a result.
The offense has struggled but the defense has also been a disappointment, allowing 3.32 goals per game. Johnathan Kovacevic and Kaiden Guhle have combined for 2.6 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net with ease. The one bright spot has been the play of goaltender Samuel Mountembaeault who has a .911 save percentage and a 2.79 goals-against average on 439 shots with 3.4 goals saved above average.
