The Montreal Canadiens are facing a challenging season, with their offense struggling to score just 2.92 goals per game.

Leading the top two lines, Cole Caufield, Sean Monahan, and Nick Suzuki have contributed 14 goals and 19 assists, but the rest of the offense has encountered difficulties. With only four skaters netting four or more goals, opposing defenses can focus on limiting the top-heavy offense.

While the offense has struggled, the defense has been unreliable, allowing an average of 3.5 goals per game, including conceding 11 goals in the last two games.

Kaiden Guhle and Justin Barron have combined for 1.3 defensive point shares, but the remaining unit has struggled, permitting opponents to find open shots on the net with relative ease.

A bright spot has been the performance of goaltender Jake Allen, who boasts a .910 save percentage and a 3.35 GAA, having faced 201 shots with 1.3 goals saved above the league average.

As for injuries, Rafael Harvey-Pinard is listed as questionable with a lower-body ailment and Carey Price is out due to a knee injury. Kirby Dach is sidelined for the season with a knee injury, Chris Wideman is unavailable due to a back issue, and David Savard is out with an upper-body injury.

Complementing their efforts, J.T. Compher, Daniel Sprong, and Andrew Copp have contributed significantly, amassing a total of 10 goals and 14 assists.

The defensive contributions from Moritz Seider and Shayne Gostisbehere, who have added four goals and 16 assists from the blue line, have played a crucial role in enhancing the team's offensive capabilities.

While the offense has been outstanding, the defense has faced challenges, allowing an average of 3.23 goals per game. Although Jake Walman and Ben Chairot have combined for 1.6 defensive point shares and 56 blocked shots, the remaining defensive unit has struggled, making it easier for opponents to find open shooting opportunities.
