Bournival is doing everything right lately. His energy and speed lit a fire under Plekanec and Gionta. He drives the net and creates chances for his teammates. Don't expect his actual production (7 pts in his last 7 games) to last the entire season, but he will stick with the club for the entire season, and with the way he is playing now, he may stick in the top 9. In fact, he should be a fixture in the top 9, but the numbers game could see him bumped to the 4th line when all the injured players will come back.
I could see him finish the season around 40 pts, 150+ shots and a strong +/-

Louis Leblanc more updates please
Overall thoughts
Not a great game. The Habs did get more shots but had sloppy moments. Too much goofing around overall and the fourth line managed to get caught on the ice for three of the four goals allowed. They did well coming back from down 3-1 but couldn't finish the job.
Carey Price
Not his best outing. He made some good saves but looked a bit shaky at times. He spent too much time on the ice. It was one of those games where you wish he could have made one extra save.
Alex Galchenyuk
He was the best forward tonight. Tons of great dekes and passes. He had an assist on Gallagher's goal.
Brian Gionta
He is in a groove right now. He has been very streaky since coming to Montreal and this is one of those stretches where he is producing. Good effort on the game-tying goal in the third.
PK Subban
Some good, some bad tonight. Mostly good when it came to getting the team back in the game. He was the leader of that charge. The knock against him is still awareness and being a bit careless in his own end. For example, when the fourth line is on it's probably not the best time to pinch in deep hoping for Ryan White to back-check correctly in his place.
Andrei Markov
Great game aside from the poor coverage on the same goal that Subban was caught pinching. He had three assists and is doing an outstanding job handlig the puck.
Michael Blunden - Ryan White - George Parros
Please demote Blunden. That is all.

The game clearly could've gone either way. I only saw bits of the first and the whole third period and I felt like the Habs carried the play most of the time. The winning goal was a lucky bounce right to Pominville's stick with Price already down on the ice. It's too bad but not a tough loss to swallow, those kind of games tend to balance within a full season.
Really impressed by Markov-Subban when on offense, they seem even better than last year. The kid line continues to do well and the Pleks line is creating chances every game now. I liked Leblanc for what I saw of him but Desharnais was bad, a lot of mishandling of the puck and never seemed to be in the right position to make plays. The fourth line was abysmal tonight, terrible backcheck from Parros on the 3rd goal of the Wild.
Nonetheless, excited for tomorrow's game against Roy and the Avalanche! I believe Budaj is starting in net.

Overall thoughts
This was a mediocre game where the Habs were not terrible but also didn't do much to really grab a hold of the game. Despite the score the game was up for grabs well into the third period.
Petr Budaj
Budaj was decent. Not good, not bad, but certainly not as good as the goalie at the other end.
Max Pacioretty
Mixed bag for his first game back. During the first two periods he looked like an old vet who is playing beyond his expiry date (ie he probably returned too soon). In the third he showed more signs of life when given opportunities on the top two lines. Overall a forgettable night.
PK Subban
His play of late has been very hot/cold within games but last night he was extremely careless. This time the sloppy play overshadowed whatever good he did at the offensive end.
Brendan Gallagher / Alex Galchenyuk
The two most effective forwards despite both finishing minus-2.
Lines
There was some line juggling in this one. By the end of the game Pacioretty was up with Galchenyuk and Gallagher. Eller I believe was down with Bourque and Leblanc with Desharnais being benched for most of the third.

Blunden sent down, Martin St. Pierre called up.

Looks like Galchenyuk might get additional time at center while Desharnais could move to the fourth line.
