Inside today’s Locked on Canadiens
We’re back after a few days off for the Christmas holiday!
Scott has your recap from the weekend with a big Habs win over the Chicago Blackhawks before the Christmas holiday. A 5-2 scoreline hides what was a tough start from the Canadiens against a bad Chicago team. Juraj Slafkovsky, Nick Suzuki and David Savard each had a goal and assist in the win. Also of note, Cayden Primeau remains undefeated on the road this season, an impressive feat for the young goalie.
Day 1 of the World Juniors tournament is also in the book, with four Habs prospects taking part in the first day of the tournament. Filip Mesar was instrumental in guiding Slovakia to a win over Czechia with a pair of primary assists. Meanwhile Owen Beck anchored Canada’s best line in a hard-fought win over Finland. To round out the day, Lane Hutson and the United States survived a scare against Norway.
Finally, there has been a new debate amongst Habs fans on the overall quality of the 2022 NHL Draft. With Juraj Slafkovsky starting to hit his stride, while Owen Beck, Filip Mesar and Lane Hutson dominate outside the NHL, is this Draft class better than we all thought originally? Scott looks back at the draft, and whether or not the 2022 Draft class has the ability to single-handedly change the fortunes of the Canadiens franchise.
