| Last game: MTL 0 COL 2
The Habs had another 40-plus shot performance but did not create enough dangerous scoring chances. Going 0-for-4 on the power-play also hurt their chances, particularly with just one shot on goal during a lengthy 5-on-3 opportunity.

| What to Expect |
| Prediction: Canadiens 4 Coyotes 1
The Canadiens have lost three in a row but should have an easier match-up vs. the Coyotes. Taking them lightly would be a mistake. Possession is the first step, finishing their chances will be key for the Habs. |
