The Race For The Atlantic Division is ON! – Find Out Who Will Make it
VIDEO: Check Out Video Below to View Awesome Red Wings vs Montreal Canadians Bout!
A 2-10-0 record in December has cost the Montreal Canadiens top spot in the Atlantic Division.
The Detroit Red Wings leapfrogged the Habs on Saturday with a 3-2 win in Nashville.
And there could be another lead change today, which could finish with either the Bruins (who play in Ottawa) or Panthers (who host Columbus) on top.
As part of a 2013 realignment, the entirety of the former Atlantic Division was realigned into the Metropolitan Division. The Atlantic Division name was assigned to a new division comprising the entirety of the former Northeast Division plus the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning from the now-dissolved Southeast Division, and the Detroit Red Wings, who moved from the Central Division of the Western Conference.
The Canadiens held a players-only meeting after yesterday’s 3-1 loss to Washington.
“It’s a matter of will,” coach Michel Therrien told the Montreal Gazette. “We need guys who are willing to go to the dirty areas. We have one guy who’s doing that and he (Daniel Carr) scored a goal tonight.”
