Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

Montreal was good, very bad, and everything in between in a 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night. Scott and Laura break down the game from all angles, to see what the Habs did well and where everything went wrong. Also, you might have guessed already, but there are plenty of thoughts about the officiating once more.

With a tough loss to a hated rival now in the rearview, what are the lessons the Habs can take from their loss into the game against the Anaheim Ducks? Besides taking less penalties, the answers are relatively simply, but the Canadiens cannot be complacent as they square off with a struggling Ducks team at the Bell Centre on Thursday.

Finally, the Slovak national team mentioned that the door hasn't been closed on Juraj Slafkovsky possibly being loaned to them for the World Juniors tournament. Scott and Laura discuss the reasons why it makes sense from a personal standpoint for Slafkovsky. Both agree though that while Slafkovsky continues to play as well as he has recently, it doesn't make much sense to loan him out anymore.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

The Habs and Flames game had to be decided in a shootout after a wild, hard-fought game at the Bell Centre. Juraj Slafkovsky had a standout performance including a primary assist on Josh Anderson's game-tying goal. Nick Suzuki and Kirby Dach wowed in the shootout to earn both points for Montreal. Things weren't all perfect though as both hosts are getting frustrated with the power play struggles, including Monday's effort.

The Flames and Habs game was a wild one in a number of ways, but the biggest storyline at the end of it all was that star forward Cole Caufield was knocked out of the game after taking a big hit from Trevor Lewis. If he's out for anything length of time it's a massive issue for the Canadiens lineup and offence, so what can the team do to fill the void? The immediate answer might be sliding Juraj Slafkovsky up to that spot, but what about potential call up options from the AHL?

Team Canada announced their final roster for the upcoming World Juniors tournament, and in good news Joshua Roy has officially made the team for a second straight year! In the bad news Habs prospects Owen Beck and Riley Kidney were among the cuts and will head back to their respective junior teams. While Kidney suffered an injury in one of the pre-tournament exhibition games, neither Scott or Laura is a fan of Beck being among the cuts. They air their grievances and take a look at who was selected over Beck for this years team.

The Montreal Canadiens may have lost to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, but some of the Habs are trending upwards this week. We talk about who's hot and who's not, with particular emphasis on the Scott Sabourin of the Belleville Senators and his clown antics, Samuel Montembeault's single game poor performance, Mike Hoffman's improved play despite his huge gaffe, Kaiden Guhle's brilliance, Cole Caufield's consistency, Jake Allen's great saves, and honourable mentions to the likes of Lane Hutson.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens face off with the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night and while it's an important game for the Canadiens to try and start a new winning streak, there's a bigger shadow looming over the game. The Saturday night contest will mark the return of former General Manager Marc Bergevin to the Bell Centre for the first time since he was fired last season, and the hosts break down what kind of reception he might receive and more.

Then, it's the Friday Mailbag and the hosts dig into a mountain of listener questions!

Which prospect will have the biggest chip on their shoulder if they do make their respective World Juniors team? Will Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield make the NHL All-Star Game? What sort of super skilled play like the Michigan would the hosts like to see a Hab pull off? Can Juraj Slafkovsky follow a similar development path to that of Tage Thompson who is currently terrorizing the NHL, or is it far too soon to make that call?

All that and more!

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens played a game in Vancouver that featured a four goal blown lead, a last minute goal against, 13 total goals and one very disappointing loss for the Habs. Scott walks through the good, the bad, and the very ugly of a wild 7-6 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks and what went wrong for the Canadiens on Monday night.

On the second half of a back-to-back the Canadiens rolled into Seattle for the first ever Shane Wright vs. Juraj Slafkovsky contest. As everyone expected Wright scored his first NHL goal against the Habs, but the strength of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, plus a blinder by Jake Allen allowed Montreal to steal a much-needed win. Scott breaks down the game, and why the hot takes from Slafkovsky vs. Wright are way too premature.

Finally, after the Habs played the Edmonton Oilers in the previous week, the rumours began to fly that the Oilers might be willing to part with a first round pick for Joel Edmundson. With the veteran leader seemingly struggling to lead in his current role, should Kent Hughes consider a deal to send Edmundson to Edmonton? What could the Canadiens even expect to get in return, and is it worthwhile to pull the trigger right now?

For the first time since they were both drafted by the Montreal Canadiens and the Seattle Kraken, respectively, Juraj Slafkovsky and Shane Wright are set to face each other in the two teams' first matchup of the season. The supremely delightful Erica Lindsay Ayala of Locked On Kraken joins us to discuss the starts for the two highly touted rookies so far and to break down what to expect from tonight's game. Of course, Calder Trophy favourite Matty Beniers gets a deserved mention, and we end the show with some predictions for the game.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens:

The Montreal Canadiens played a wild back and forth game with the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night, losing 5-3 in regulation. Scott and Laura break down the game, the very good and the very bad as well as everything in between. With a game against the Vancouver Canucks lingering on Monday night, what can the Habs change to secure a win?

Then, it's time for the hosts to pick their three ups, and their three downs for the week around the Montreal Canadiens organization!

While the young players continue to shine in Montreal, the veterans have been struggling and highlight the three down this week. Josh Anderson has failed to find the back of the net in seven straight games while maintaining a steady top six spot, is there a way to get the power horse running again? Joel Edmundson found himself ejected in the game against the Oilers, while he's seen as a veteran leader, the Canadiens need more from him right now.

On the upside however, are a rash of familiar faces, namely team captain Nick Suzuki who refuses to buy into regression. In the AHL Xavier Simoneau remains the most consistent prospect going for the Laval Rocket, sitting second in AHL rookie scoring and second on the Rocket overall. Finally, Sean Farrell is riding high in the NCAA, but who else among the prospects has caught the host's eyes?
