The Montreal Canadiens seem to have targeted an aspect of the game to improve in order to generate more scoring chances against the Philadelphia Flyers: the outings.
During a video conference on Monday, Jonathan Drouin did not want to attribute the shutout suffered the day before exclusively to the five posts struck by his team.
“These are things that happen in a game. Yesterday, the puck didn’t want to come in, but there are things we can do better. We can create opportunities by making better outings, we worked on that today, ”said the Quebec striker.
Drouin explained that the Flyers’ sustained front failure on Sunday night sometimes prevented the CH from using their speed in the neutral zone.
“Obviously, instead of using the ramp, we prefer to send the puck to our center players who run at full speed in the middle of the ice.”
The Habs will also have to be more disciplined, because it is difficult to take a beating to go offensively when we concede five power play advantages to the opponent.
“We’re a 5v5 team,” said Drouin. When we can stay 5 against 5, it’s to our advantage. ”
