The Montreal Canadiens recently secured a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers, with notable changes in player usage. Coach Martin St. Louis allowed the second line of Alex Newhook, Patrik Laine, and Joshua Roy to play in the final minutes, indicating increased trust in their performance. Lane Hutson continues to work on improving his shot, acknowledging its current limitations against NHL goaltenders. Despite being the lowest shooter among top point scorers, he aims to balance passing to teammates with taking shots when necessary. Christian Dvorak and the Jake Evans line have been recognized for their defensive contributions. Dvorak's quick pressure on opponents helps maintain team structure, while the Evans line effectively transitions the puck to create offensive opportunities, showcasing the team's focus on defensive principles.
