Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

Another great showing from Samuel Montembeault on Saturday night led to only a single point for the Habs as the Edmonton Oilers snagged an overtime win at the Bell Centre. Despite a strong showing on the defensive side of the puck, the Habs managed just one goal off the stick of Cole Caufield on the power play. The game is most notable though for the NHL debut of top prospect Joshua Roy, who was recalled from the AHL on Friday night. With Josh Anderson hurt, Roy appears here to stay for a bit, and should feature heavily on Monday against Colorado.

Then, as we always do on Monday...It's Three Up, Three Down!

In the down section, Josh Anderson makes a return after struggling to make an impact in games where the Montreal Canadiens absolutely needed him to, before eventually landing on the injured list once more. Scott also takes a moment to discuss some of the further fall-out and behavior around the Cutter Gauthier trade, and why the response seems to further justify his decision to ask for a trade.

There's also a rare FOUR UP week, because there's so much good to cover in Montreal, despite the recent losses.

First up is the Laval Rocket, and namely their AHL All-Star in Logan Mailloux. It was mentioned earlier in the week, but Scott wants to go over his progression from the start of the season and how he's on exactly the path you want to see in a league for development. He's been helped out a lot by the emergence of the veterans on the team like Philippe Maillet, Lias Andersson and even fellow prospects like William Trudeau. Scott breaks down his best from the Rocket in the last week.

The prospects are in focus in a big way for the Habs fandom this week, as Owen Beck's trade to Saginaw seems to have re-invigorated his game to the tune of nine points in three games for the Spirit. What has brought his game back in such a big way, well playing on a super team helps, but Beck himself also deserves a ton of praise.

Finally, some praise for some unsung heroes on the Montreal Canadiens as a whole, in particular Samuel Montembeault and Jake Evans who were handling the hardest work against the Edmonton Oilers and coming out looking about as good as someone could in a loss.
