Why Avalanche’s Current Dip Could Be the Hidden Opportunity No One Sees Coming
The Canadiens are putting together a nice season of their own, even if they aren’t quite as dominant as the Avalanche. For the year, Montreal has been able to get to a 29-17-7 record. What is a bit more surprising to me is that they really haven’t taken advantage of their home ice. They are just 15-11-1 when playing in Montreal this year. For the year, they are allowing 3.26 goals per game, which is slightly lower than what they are scoring at 3.36. They are just about even on the total shots taken and allowed as well. Over their past five games, they are 3-2 with some very consistent offense. They have scored at least three goals in four of the five games. The team will be putting Jakub Dobes in the net tonight. He has put together a decent year with a strong record. He is 16-5-3 for the season, but his 2.96 goals against per game, and .890 save percentage is not all that impressive. He also allowed seven goals to the Avalanche last time they faced each other.
