Canadiens vs. Hurricanes Top Six Minutes: Habs’ struggles continue

• The line-up remains a mystery as seasonal sickness results in game time roster decisions.
• I told Echo, the Golden Retriever i’m pet sitting, that she could co-write this Top Six Minutes./

First period:

• The Hurricanes look well rested, while the Canadiens look a bit rusty.
• Carolina gets an early goal. Echo thinks the start has been “Ruff” for Montreal./
• Luckily Carey was one Price that did not drop boxing day weekend.
• A Short handed chance for Danault!
• Galchenyuk awoke from his post turkey snooze and is looking dangerous./

Second period:

• Montreal is looking livelier.
• Galchenyuk with a game tying beauty of a goal.
• Morrow and Deslauriers making sure their turnovers don’t lead to any goals. Very responsible of them.
• Carey sees EVERYTHING. He should be banned from all magic shows indefinitely.
• I’m sure Pacioretty had goals on his holiday wish list, but without Amazon Prime, they won’t arrive for 4-6 weeks. /

Third period:

• The call up kids are all looking pretty decent.
• This is the calm, cool, and collected Carey we all love.
• Galchenyuk goes to the box for the second time.
• Aho gets one past Price, that probably could have been prevented by one of the poorly positioned Habs skaters.
• Hurricanes with an empty netter, taking the 3-1 win. /
