The Canadiens are having a rough season with their offense struggling, scoring only 2.74 goals per game. Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Sean Monahan have scored 33 goals and 51 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only three active skaters have scored seven goals or more and opponents can eliminate the offense with ease.
The offense has struggled but the defense has unraveled lately, allowing 3.44 goals per game including nine goals in the last two games. Johnathan Kovacevic and Mike Matheson have combined for 2.8 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. The one bright spot has been the play of goaltender Samuel Mountembeault who has a .906 save percentage and a 2.93 goals-against average on 564 shots with 1.7 goals saved above average.
