Habs Report Stats

Nick Suzuki is DOMINATING the Selke Trophy race late in the season, with 79% odds on Polymarket! If he wins, he would be the first player since 1996 to win the trophy and to score 100 points the same season. I honestly don’t think this has been a close race since October…

Yes, MacKinnon will end the season with more goals, but Caufield won the Rocket Richard trophy in our hearts. Total goals, excluding empty netters: 1. Caufield — 51 goals 2. MacKinnon — 45 3. Robertson — 44 4. Johnston — 44 5. McDavid — 42 You’ll get em next time champ🤩

Last 41 games: • 26-12-4 record (.667 P%) — 5th • 144 goals for — 6th • 119 goals against — 10th • 21.7% powerplay — 16th • 79.8% penalty kill — 13th • 52.1% faceoff win % — 7th

The Canadiens’ season separated in half First 41 games: • 22-13-6 record (.610 P%) — 7th • 135 goals for — 6th • 134 goals against — 23rd • 23.9% powerplay — 8th • 77.1% penalty kill — 23rd • 49.9% faceoff win % — 16th

Every player with more points than Nick Suzuki (101) this season: Connor McDavid — 133 Nikita Kucherov — 128 Nathan MacKinnon — 126 Macklin Celebrini — 110 Suzuki has the fifth most points in the NHL.

Great game for the Habs: • Now at 106P, tied in points with Buffalo (1st in Atlantic) • Suzuki 101 pts (most by a Hab in 40 years) • Hutson ties record for most assists by a Habs dman in history (66) • Reinbacher records his 1st point • Fowler saves 30/31, with a 2.65 GSAx

5. If BUF earns 0P (end with 106P), MTL can win the ATL with 3P (1-1-1 or 0-0-3 or better). Do you think any of these scenarios are possible and can the Habs win the division?

3. If BUF earns 2P (1-1-0 or 0-0-2) they end up with 108P. MTL can win the Atlantic with 5 pts (2-0-1), ending with 109P. 4. If BUF earns 1P (0-0-1) they end with 107P. MTL can win the Atlantic with 4 pts (2-1-0 or 1-0-2), ending with 108P.

How can the Habs win the Atlantic? Current standings: 1. BUF: 106P, 80GP (2GR) 2. MTL: 104P, 79GP (3GR) 3. TBL: 102P, 79GP (3GR) Remaining schedules: • BUF: CHI & DAL • MTL: CBJ, NYI, PHI • TBL: BOS, DET, NYR

With his 50th goal of the season Thursday, Cole Caufield joins an elite group of Habs legends. He is now tied for the 8th-most goals in a single season in Canadiens’ history! He needs 3 goals in the last 3 games to sneak into the top 5. Can he do it?

With his 98th point of the season Thursday, Nick Suzuki now has the 11th most productive season by a Canadiens player in history! The top 10 consists of Guy Lafleur (6x), Peter Mahovlich (x2), Mats Naslund and Steve Shutt. Can the Habs captain ever break into the top 10?

Habs and Bolts combined for 126 penalty minutes tonight (71-55 for TBL) Habs also clinched a top 3 spot in the Atlantic!

Just to recap that insanity: • Caufield hit 50 goals • Slafkovsky hit 30 goals • Slafkovsky hit 70 pts • Suzuki hit 70 assists With 3 games to go: • Suzuki — 2 pts away from 100 • Suzuki — 2 goals away from 30 • Caufield — 3 pts away from 90 • Dobes — 2 wins away from 30

Lane Hutson is the 3rd defenceman in #GoHabsGo history to record 75 points in a season: Larry Robinson 3x Guy Lapointe 2x Lane Hutson

One year ago today, Ivan Demidov surprised everyone and signed his entry-level contract with the Canadiens much earlier than expected. From his flight being tracked to his incredible dangles, what has been your favourite moment of him as a Hab so far?

With tonight’s win, the Canadiens are now tied with the Lightning and Sabres for the Atlantic division lead at 102 points (Habs are 3rd due to tiebreakers) Thursday’s game vs Tampa Bay will be ELECTRIC, and can give the Habs a huge boost🕺

Here are the Canadiens’ most likely opponents in the first round of playoffs (% = chance of matchup): Buffalo Sabres — 65% Tampa Bay Lightning — 25% Boston Bruins — 7% Ottawa Senators — 2% Carolina Hurricanes — 1% Who would you want to play against? Per PlayoffStatus.Com
