Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The Habs had a pair of games over Super Bowl weekend and came away with a pair of stunning wins over a pair of potentially playoff-bound teams in the Islanders and the Oilers. Scott and Laura recap the wins, including a heaping of praise for Mike Matheson and again Rafaël Harvey-Pinard against the Islanders, but also Mike Hoffman as well. Against the Oilers it was a huge day for unexpected names as Alex Belzile got his first NHL goal in a rout of Edmonton. Jake Allen got his first win in several weeks while Evgenii Dadonov and Jonathan Drouin supplied strong efforts on Super Bowl Sunday.

Then it's time for Three Up, Three Down!

With a strong weekend effort it was a task for Scott and Laura to find much to nitpick, but there is some bad news lingering after a wild weekend. First is the health and status of defender Arber Xhekaj, who left the Oilers game with a suspected shoulder injury. There's also again, the questions about NHL officiating remain and once more Scott is only asking for a consistency from game to game. Plus much more!

In the up section it was a huge week for prospects, AHL players and the NHL alike in Montreal. Mike Matheson seems to be finding his stride in Montreal after an uneven start and played a huge role in the win over the Islanders. In the AHL, Cayden Primeau is putting together a huge run of primo wins as the Laval Rocket move up the standings after the All-Star break. And in the NCAA, Sean Farrell continues to put up points at an incredible pace. Despite it being normally three ups in a week, the hosts have a few more names as well they want to shout out.
