Call of the Wilde: Montreal Canadiens fall to the St. Louis Blues
Global News
They can't all be gems. The Montreal Canadiens lost 6-3 to the St. Louis Blues in what Brian Wilde calls the Habs' worst game of the season so far.
The Montreal Canadiens came into their final match of a three-game road trip trying for a winning record.
And in the end, the Canadiens put in a terrible effort, falling 6-3 to the St. Louis Blues.
It was an exciting night, at least before the game began. Christian Dvorak returned from injury, meaning that Alex Newhook could move back to the wing. At the same time, Rafael Harvey-Pinard was announced as day-to-day with injury.
The lines would be new. Repeat: The lines would be new.
Someone needed to take the spot beside Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki on the number one line. Head coach Martin St. Louis seemed to have tried everyone in that spot, but he had not tried the first choice overall in the 2022 NHL draft.
Finally, he did, and lo and behold, Juraj Slafkovsky scored his first goal of the season. Ironically, it was a give-and-go that worked with Newhook who he had struggled with Slafkovsky mightily in the last half dozen games.
Slafkovsky won the puck along the half-wall. He fed Newhook. Newhook quickly fed Slafkovsky who went to the net. The shot from Slafkovsky from three feet was flipped upstairs. It was beautiful hockey.
The smile was wide. The relief was obvious. There was probably more relief in the front offices though than from Slafkovsky who seems to take it all in stride.
