Inside today's Locked on Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens managed to get out of California with a 2-1-0 record, a rarity for the Habs as they typically struggle on the West Coast. Despite the winning record there were some troubling signs for the Habs, especially against the San Jose Sharks and most certainly against the Los Angeles Kings. Was it just a few off games, or are there more troubling signs facing the club going forward? Then, it's Three Up, Three Down! With goaltending rumors swirling only one Canadiens netminder has done whatever he can to avoid heading to Edmonton in a possible trade, and that is Jake Allen. The veteran in net has left plenty to be desired, especially against LA, is it a regression or are we overreacting right now? Also a surprising entry on the down list is head coach Martin St. Louis as Scott has some serious questions about his handling of Josh Anderson and why players like Jesse Ylönen are left on the bench instead. Finally, the NHL once again stepped on an easily avoidable rake first by telling Marc-Andre Fleury he could not wear a tribute mask in warm-ups, and then again when Jacob Trouba wasn't punished for swinging his stick at someone's head. On the positive side, Juraj Slafkovsky continues to be an impressive force on a line with Cole Caufield and Christian Dvorak. If the first overall pick continues to play well and take the next steps in his skill progression it's likely the biggest win that the Canadiens could ask for this year. Also rising this week is Cayden Primeau, he hasn't played a ton this season, but when called upon he's done well, and that might be accelerating any possible trade scenarios. Finally on the up side, Owen Beck rules, but you knew that already, right?
