Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

On Saturday night the Montreal Canadiens found the perfect remedy for some of their ailing players as they dismantled the New York Islanders in a 5-3 win. Joel Armia, Josh Anderson, Cole Caufield and Christian Dvorak all had goals in the impressive win, highlighted by a huge four-goal second period. Despite a nervous ending, it was a statement win from the Habs, and hopefully a building block for several of the goal scorers as well.

Then, it's Monday and that means Three Up, and Three Down!

On the up side of thing, the Habs offence is slowing waking up over the course of this week, and a big part of that is from two large players on the ice. Both Josh Anderson and Juraj Slafkovsky starred against the Islanders in a big way, and that should be some welcomed news for many Habs fans as the end of 2023 approaches. Also on the rise, rookie forward Riley Kidney with the Laval Rocket. While Joshua Roy is grabbing most of the attention, Kidney is slowing starting to find his own form and develop into a prospect worth following in the AHL.

On the flipside of things, the Laval Rocket continue to lack any sort of consistency in their play, losing 7-1 after pulling off a stunning last-minute win the night before. Strauss Mann hasn't been able to hold the net, while the defence continues to struggle badly. Scott also has some issues with how the Montreal Canadiens are handling call ups, as valuable prospects sit in the pressbox instead of playing games at either level.
Also struggling badly, the Pittsburgh Penguins...That's it, the hosts just wanted to point out that Pittsburgh might be on the cusp of an incredibly fraudulent season after losing 7-0.
