Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens stole a 4-3 win from the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night thanks to a monster showing from Samuel Montembeault in net, and a multi-point effort from Nick Suzuki. Juraj Slafkovsky was again a dominant force for the Habs and the catalyst in helping the team overcome a disastrous start to the game, but it was a lot closer than it should have been in the closing minutes. Despite leading by three goals, the Habs still couldn't close it out without needing Montembeault to stand on his head three times over, but it's a win for a team that needed one and the hosts have your recap!

It was an insane day at the World Juniors tournament as the elimination round began with Filip Mesar willing the Slovaks to overtime before falling to the Finns and ending the tournament for the Habs prospect. Canada soon followed suit as the team imploded early against Czechia before mounting a comeback, only to give up the game-winning goal with 11 seconds left on the clock. The United States won with relative ease over Latvia while Sweden needed a dubious penalty and overtime to sneak by Switzerland. Scott and Laura go over what was a truly wild day, and especially what went wrong for the losing teams.

The Habs win over Dallas wasn't without its major losses however as Josh Anderson appeared to suffer a bad lower body injury late in the third period. While it's unclear how serious the injury is, the Habs are down to ten healthy forwards as they fly back to Montreal for a game against the Sabres. Scott and Laura discuss the options on the Laval Rocket, including a full NHL promotion for leading scorer Brandon Gignac, as well as the potential debuts of Sean Farrell or Joshua Roy this year.
