Habs chase out Lundqvist, beat Rangers 6-3
TSN.ca

Montreal controlled the game from the opening faceoff outshooting the Blueshirts 41-25 and doubling their time on attack. The game was highlighted by the captain, Saku Koivu, beating Henrik Lundqvist from just inside the center red line trying to clear after the only penalty kill of the game. "I just wanted to get off the ice, but I put it on net and Lundqvist ... I guess he was sleeping. (Laughs)" says a cheery Koivu.

October Wrap-up

Montreal (2-6-3 7pts) month: 2-6-3 7pts

Good- Here we have a youthful team here, give them some time to figure their game out. Remember most of these players had never played together.

Bad- Offense, there is no attack being generated. This team was held to 1 goal or less in 5 of the 9 games played.

Ugly- Goaltending. Not much to say. Craw's save pct is in the .830s and Bouch has been winless in his 3 starts.
