The Canadiens now have intriguing elements in their top two offensive lines with the arrival of Patrik Laine and the return of Kirby Dach.
There is even speculation about who will be used on the power play. It's a nice problem for Martin St-Louis, even though the team is still a way off from matching squads like the Panthers and Oilers.
«Laine has experience, he's also bigger, a 6'5 guy, who protects the puck well and has a devastating shot. I think Martin St-Louis is good at pressing the right buttons to get the best out of him.»
Do you agree? At worst, if both players exceed 30 goals, it would be a luxury for the Canadiens. This healthy competition is beneficial, and the Montreal team needs to score more goals to reach the next stage of the playoffs.
