Canadiens vs Penguins
An action packed game between the Canadiens and Penguins. Both teams played extremely well as scoring chances lingered at both ends. The Canadiens coming out on top to edge the Penguins to a 4-1 victory.
A notable performance today by the Canadiens as the team added another win to their season. Noah Coatsworth with his goaltending debut for the Canadiens played outstanding in net shutting down the offense, only allowing 1 goal on 12 shots for a .917 save percentage. Posture and poise dressed this goaltender like the statue of Aries, God of War himself, as he battled pucks from all directions. Skill was anything but ordinary when Brandon Savage notched 2 goals and added an assist, peeling apart any challengers like the skin off a banana. Quick hands and lightning speed were Jonathon Gebara's companion as he scored 2 goals and added 1 assist, leaving a trail of smoke on the ice like a hot rod in a drag race;( 1 of Jonathon's goals was disallowed on the offside ). Jacob Kosik with a nifty demonstration of puck handling and scoring as he notched his 1st goal of the season. Jacob was pushed up from defense to the Canadiens forward line and he wasted no time showing off his skills, like a thoroughbred coming out of the gates at the race track. Parker Ouellette also added 1 assist with some gritty defense plays. Brysen Perry with some sweet diving plays to generate defense, while Zach Suitor using his slick moves to steal pucks from rushing opponents and dance his way out into center ice shutting down the offense. Brady Goodall played one of his best games setting up offensive bursts and aggressive backchecks assisted by Sean Mallette, Griffin Cogghe, Devon Homeniuk, Danny Pasha and Hestyn Poissant.
There were plenty of chances for the Penguins as they had their opportunities and displayed some good forechecking. But it was great defense, team bonding and awesome goaltending for the Canadiens as the curtain fell to steal the show.
Next up.....The Flyers!!!
