The Montreal Canadiens face the Vegas Golden Knights with both teams heading in opposite directions this season. The Canadiens have a 26-32-4 record and with back-to-back losses have the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Golden Knights have a 37-19-6 record and with seven wins in their last 10 games, they have leaped into first place in the Pacific Division. The Canadiens are looking to rebound on a rough season while the Golden Knights look to remain near the top of the Western Conference and the upcoming game looks to be a good one.
The Canadiens are having a rough season with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.68 goals per game with only four goals in the last two games. Nick Suzuki, Kirby Dach, and Christian Dvorak have scored 43 goals and 68 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only four active skaters have 10 goals or more and opposing defenses can eliminate the hapless offense as a result.
The offense has let the Canadiens down but the defense has also struggled, allowing 3.56 goals per game. Johnathan Kovacevic and Mike Matheson have combined for 4.3 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. In addition, goaltender Jake Allen has struggled with a .898 save percentage and a 3.34 goals-against average on 1145 shots with -8.5 goals saved above average.
