10 Thoughts: Habs Overcome Stingy Mammoth in a 6-2 Romp
The Habs had a slow start on Saturday against Utah, but after taking the lead in the second period, they dominated the rest of the game. They delivered one of their best offensive performances of the season.
The Utah Mammoth, previously known as the Arizona Coyotes until 15 months ago, came to Montreal just two points behind the Canadiens. Both teams play a fast-paced style with young rosters, but the Mammoth are known for their ability to keep pucks away from their net.
The Canadiens returned to the Bell Centre to begin a home stand following two disappointing losses in a shootout and overtime. The main question was whether they could raise their intensity and secure a regulation victory against a tough opponent.
After conceding an early goal again, the bleu blanc et rouge settled into their usual style seen during much of the early season. Ivan Demidov and Oliver Kapanen combined for another goal, while Cole Caufield scored twice.
Strong goaltending from Samuel Montembeault and late goals from Nick Suzuki and Kirby Dach helped seal a commanding 6-2 win, sparking celebration among the fans.
