New Canadian:
fresh start
MONTREAL - After a short Christmas break, the Montreal Canadiens will continue its longest holiday season abroad by facing the Islanders at New York on Sunday evening.
troupe Jacques Martin is experiencing his first slump of the season with only two wins in its last seven games.
The players will pick up where they left off before the break, when they beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 to collect their first win this trip of seven games away from the Bell Centre.
The Islanders have had their share of a sequence even more difficult, those who occupy the second lowest in the East with only 22 points on their record (8-18-3-3). From 23 October to 13 December, they have won one of their 21 games, including what had led to the dismissal of coach Scott Gordon.
Far from a victory already gained
It will however not consider the Islanders as an easy prey, they have started to learn a little more success over the last few games leading up the holidays . They have now won two straight games and seven points in their last four outings.
"Obviously when you win hockey games, you gain confidence and you believe in yourself, the coach noted by Acting Islanders Jack Capuano after the last game of his. Even during the last two or three weeks, players have worked hard, they are well trained, they sacrificed their bodies, but they were not getting the desired results. We scored a few goals lately and as soon as you registered in three or four, you give yourself a chance to score, especially with the goalie we have (Dwayne Roloson). "
Still in third place in the East
Despite recent difficulties, the Canadiens (20-13-2-0) is always ahead of his section and he ranks third in the East. He holds a lead of two points on the Boston Bruins (18-11-1-3), second in the northeast section, but they have played two fewer games. They
revive the action Monday against the Florida Panthers.
The Habs will have to be wary of his next opponent if he wishes to continue his journey on a high note and stay in good position in the standings.
After this stop in New York, the Canadian will continue his journey by traveling to Washington and then to Florida to face the Lightning and Panthers. As tradition dictates, the Habs should count on a large number of supporters during his two games under the sun.
