Habs’ Players in Action

MONTREAL, QC — It’s not the medal that either team wanted but a bronze medal from  Winter Olympic games is nothing to sneeze at. And given that Gary Bettman is hinting loudly  that the NHL won’t return in 2018, it may be the only chance for players to fulfill, even if partially, their Olympic dream. Max Pacioretty will be the only Canadiens player participating. Pacioretty has just one assist in four games at the tournament averaging 10:25 in ice-time per game.
